Visit Makes the Zhongshan Daily!

Our visit to Shan Fung Jie 68 in Yandun, Shiqi was written up by Wang Wei in the Zhongshan Daily' webpage of April 1, 2011:

And on the China Taiwan Network: http://www.chinataiwan.org/xwzx/xwrw/201104/t20110401_1808191.htm

The article mentions Dad by name, in Mandarin, Yin De Xing (尹德 - Wan Dak Hing) as the "old man" and me as his elderly son.  It also mentions a wife who visited, an error, as well as the incorrect date of the visit -- March 28, 2011, rather than March 15.

Our relative is identified as 74-year old, Gao Lin Ya (高林雅 - Gou Lam Ngaa or "High Forest Graceful").  In the Commentary following the article, Lam Ngaa is commended for preserving and maintaining the house since 1989, keeping a promise made to relatives.  The commentary says that if the famous ancient historian Sima Qian was alive, he would have written about her.

This post will be updated as Dad and I make more sense out of the article.
