#24I clicked through to the story planning on downvoting it for being offtopic. I was wrong. What a touching story. The world needs more people like Mr Wu.
Seems important considering the points. But neither do I know who Mr. Wu is nor do I care to read 10 paragraphs into the text to find out. Can you give a quick summary?
He's nobody. The author is nobody. It's a story of a homecoming, of a friendship and a reunion. That is all. I thought it was lovely, but it's just a nice story.

This is an interesting choice for a first post. What does it possibly mean? Why was this enough to finally get you to sign up after all those years of reading without response?
In context, are you saying that the piece is "encouraging"? https://dictionary.hantrainerpro.com/chinese-english/transla...
Are you Georgian and saying that you "heart" the piece? https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=guli
Are you from a place named Guli and just leaving graffiti? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guli
A devoted but taciturn fan of the long distance runner Mina Guli? https://www.minaguli.com
Don't leave us in suspense!

#26What a wonderful story! Glad to see such a story about China. US news doesn't do a good job humanizing the people of China.
