We went to school in one room with a dirt floor, which the teacher spat on continuously. He picked you up by your collar if you messed up your characters. Only would never touch a foreigner, instead we got instant un-earned \u201clittle red soldier badges\u201d just for being foreigners, which we felt compelled to live up to by demonstrating outstanding moral character. In China we met Premier Chou En Lai (2nd to Chairman Mao himself)","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/alyssahinton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Hinton-Down-On-The-Farm-590.jpg"}
