I would like to start that this Middle Kingdom (中國) is really an extraordinary place. (Please do not misinterpret my meaning in my former blogs ending.) My passion and curiosity for China, the mother and center of Asia, will stay as long as I know. But it is just that this trip was very different from all my former trips that I have made in the past few years, and, thus, my effect after the trip turned out to be different too. In the past I have visited Beijing before to do the major toursites- Tiananmen, Forbidden City, The Great Wall, ext-, or for a conference at one of the CBD(Central Business District). So of course, the image of Beijing I had before was completely positive, rich, and large. And having visited twice, I naively believed that I knew China quite well. Er. Completly wrong. In the next three weeks during my stay in Wudaokou, the region in which most of Beijing's top university exist, I meet Beijing, China again. But this time he was different. Now looking back, I think this was the real China.
