Sally returned from China and got in touch with Shirley Sun earlier this week. I met both of them this morning in Chinatown. Sally’s English is better than Shirley’s but I am never certain I fully understand either of them. My interactions with them are filled with mystery; my imagination works overtime. But I was pleased to see Sally and know she is well. The only problem meeting both of them together is that almost as much Chinese is spoken as English. I keep hoping that someday Shirley will learn enough English to put my imagination to rest.
