Liang Dong Hong

After 21 year, I was reunited with my Fudan roommate -- Liang Dong Hong.  Liang, who lives in Hangzhou and is a Deputy Chief for the China Construction Bank (5th largest bank in the world), was in town for a Fudan University reunion.  We met at the Fudan campus, which hasn't changed much.  The entire family spent the day with Liang and her wonderful parents.  We rode the high speed train, had a delicious lunch on the 54th floor of the Jinmao tower, and then spent some time at the Shanghai Science and Technology museum.  

It was a great reunion and I think that now that we have reconnected, Liang and I will be able to stay in close touch.  Her city is only 2 hours away by car, and her parents have invited us to come to their home town of Taiyuan to pick oranges in December!!

Laura,

How wonderful to see your former roommate again and re-establish a connection. One of the many joys of living in China. It's good to see a picture of you. We miss you all, summer could not come fast enough for us in Minnesota. Finally the weather has turned and we are out in the gardens and yards.
