Bent on running for village party branch secretary, secretly get together, both sides are calm and collected, the secretary is a lesbian, invited him to dinner, unknown said, but everyone knows the meaning of But he did not intend to retire, find the things on the secretary of the land to the villagers dissatisfied, he's pretty big odds, the leadership of the town before elections held a meeting, did not say anything, but recognition of a moment in the Chairmen Ren, and let party position, it was his turn, his heart has been very clear, saying,

write this village was not his intention, but from the personal life too high, at first only a trickle, then overflow into the river, turning circle, he could not help but to observe it.
Old Wei's child is a lean and in the countryside, endless energy, like the slapstick with him, called him Children to school, the school did not snack, do not eat too full, but a home, are people who travel to bring the city of instant noodles and potato chips, eating junk food every day job finished watching TV, but my mother does not think what the people in rural areas, hope that he can eat more fruit, but the mother said not to eat fruit in winter She looked at his son, very satisfied
Hessler writes, eager to escape poverty, but also to adapt to change and strive to maintain this respect. However, if this process too quickly, is a price to pay. , but not from Hessler writes,

his book is called What is, become a have real decision-making power, which is very important to me. Editing sometimes asked him to interview a certain hot issues, he said, his people would let China News smiled, then
he does not evade his participation in the life. In Sancha, children had blood disease to blood transfusions. Hessler considered unsafe blood, but he did not fight over the last where the doctor. Dispute, he wrote, help, tis not breathe. things, a shoeshine man bully he is a foreigner, they kicked up, almost to a fight.
proofread his American friends said, capture the sad thing.
Hessler not see with the eyes of foreigners in China, he is the person's eyes to see people, but also to see themselves.

Hessler is often asked, China's job is not to change China, or change the idea of the Chinese people. I care about is how they think today, changed their relationship with the world around,
He rarely judges them, but except for one detail.
-year-old Weijia often cold, his father's reaction was to get rid of the name. Fourteen of the word Ka plan, no luck. Computer analysis of the five elements of water ----- Hessler said, Computers to the program is
complete name change, the children are always silent, adults say hello a few times, he answered What is wrong, he did not give reasons, nor ask another to choose. As always not the same place, he did not get angry mother shouted at him, his reaction is just a a strange attitude of a combination of these, can not, and also revealed a little power. His father could not understand where
these children, the computer has given his commitment to the great good fortune, that rich, etc., but in the end, all were all
few weeks later, his father gave up, made no mention of the name.
finish this story, Hessler was a little bit to express the feelings of the words
confrontation with what this does, just to be their children, he seems to have some respect and affection.

while back, my dad called me and said the family decided to sell the old house demolished. This is a hundred years of the Qing Dynasty house where I was born, grow up to eight years old, a man on the feeling of familiarity and stability come from there. My dad asked me, Put down the phone, I think, be it for all the things I can not interfere, I'll only bring heart, be it. When is the history, watch the better. I already changed into another person, and I do not need these. Do not emotional, it's that, then.
in Hessler book, wrote the family, Wei Jia's uncle is a mentally retarded deaf mute, the villagers called him a fool, did not care for him, He Wei tried to talk to him every time, have been the villagers stopped He did not know. Only children under 6 years of age to play with him, when he was very happy to play. One day, He Wei Wei Jia's father drove the family to go to the town government, to the door, open the door, he pulled the car fool He can only stay here until they are willing to pay so far. Fool no emotion.
Wei with his brother across the yard through a large golden ball sculpture, into the gate.
late afternoon when the leaders return the car to the mountains, away from the village there are a few kilometers away stopped, never fool a person so far away from home before, but he relies on instinct to find a way home. Sancha Village
Hessler back when the idiot saw him afar off, grinning laugh, pointing to the car, than the gesture, sat in his car down about things.
But how could not find a way to apologize, much excitement was there idiot gestures gestures. Later, there will be a grant
, and then later returned to the disabled, made a color TV, Wei Jia's father gave the TV a Idiot sitting at a dark room. After the child is 6 years old
, grow as the barrel chest of his father, but also learned to like other people for fools ignore.
I have learned to ignore, that in order to avoid the pain, Hessler was cooked as I write non-Chinese, and indifference ---- under real pain is one of the greatest soul do not belong , whether you know not aware of it, admit it or not.
