This is a journal I wrote when we went to donglv, China in July. Hope this can help you to know the situation in China today. May God belss you all.
As we have planned earlier, to pay a homage to one of the two shrines ordained by the Pope in China—Donglv, a village in the outskirt of Baoding in Hebei province. It was supposed to be a celebration for May, the month of Our Lady, yet because of all sorts of incidents(as for me, it was because of the 12th All Asians), it has been poseponded for so long. Now on the brink of Patricia’s departure, we decided to visit there in a group of four: Patricia, Annie, Sakura and I. These days the sun has not given up any oppertunities to scorch Beijing, and we automatically become walking Peking Roast ducks on errand outdoors with oily face and drenching cloths. It was an early morning out, as how it is planed,Sakura and I were going to take the train to Baoding and meet Patricia and Annie at Baoding train station. double-checking the ticket I left Abi’s place. As how Beijing waether always deceives the inhabitants, I went out without thinking taking my sunblocks and sunglasses in the cool temperature of the early morning. (Gosh I am still like this after living here for ages!)and I deserved all the pain that I suffered later. As how I always comfort myself, this is what a homage is all about, isn’t it?
