You're so right about those rambutans. They're succulent.
As for the politics... I have enormous confidence in China's ongoing confidence and ecumenical ability to absorb and engage with global culture. I mean, I know everything looks gross and nationalist in the news, but at least here in Fujian, there is an outward-bound connectedness to the world that makes me feel like all the -isms in the world will never stop these people gossiping about their relatives in Southeast Asia, Europe, America, wherever. Perhaps things are different in the cold grey wastes of the north, but as long as southern China exists, the world's in good hands.
that's wonderful to hear! I really need to visit Fujian, I've never been. Totally agree with you about southern China, Guangzhou is one of my favourite cities in the world.
