I have been three times to China - the last time was thirty years ago and out in remote villages (which I often went through by train) it was still possible to see sights not unlike this - heavily laden barrows, donkeys walking round and round wells drawing water, garden crops drying on house roofs. I suspect much of this has now disappeared.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-77650923002455648022017-01-12T09:11:49.178+00:002017-01-12T09:11:49.178+00:00The plate will be worth something one day, maybe e...The plate will be worth something one day, maybe even now.
