China 2009

By Al Wong

This is my experience in Beijing, China in the Summer of 2009. If you came to this webpage first, it's better if you start from the beginning of the story.

[Three Clay Men]

At Xi'an

This is one of the first exhibits you see when you walk into the Han Museum. These three guys are naked because the clothes they wore had rotted away over time. Hey, they had worn them since before 200 BC! They also had arms at one time too but their arms were made of wood and these rotted away as well. Only the clay has endured the centuries.
