"Man, that was neat," Lloyd grinned. "I really liked that." These "small victories" - quieter and closer 10 home than the drama of Ethiopia - are what keep a photojournalist like Mike Lloyd going.

Out back, I remembered there was an orchard, but now it is a pigpen and dirt. My cousin Maeying introduced herself and I suddenly remembered that she was the one left behind when her parents took off to Taiwan. She showed me her house, which was my playhouse when I was eight. After tea, I walked away from the house and touched the tall wall in front with sadness. Many villagers gath€'red outside and the old postmaster, a dear neighbor, came out to greet me, too. Many followed us all the way to the "town square" where we parked our car and they gave me their names which should be known to my mother, but with everyone talking it was hard for me to remember any names ... My day is not over without seeing my mother-side relatives. Twenty of them had come from Nanping by train to our hotel. August 10 Fuzhou Normal University is an older university in Fujian Province, with a good reputation. The President said that PSU and FNC would soon establish sister university relations and I presented him with PSU catalogs and Portland books. The President presented a scented fan to each of us ... My two aunts and my uncle came back this evening and we enloyed an hour of conversation and exchanged gjfts. We had so much to talk about but had ro little time. August 11 Xiamen Most of us went to the "night dub," a singing and dancing hall. I was surprised to know that the young audience were mostly local Chinese dressed in western clothes and dancing disco. We were there for about 1 V2 hours until the cigarette smoke irritated us aiL August 12 We were taken to Iimei Village to see the memorial for Chen Ja-Gan, a local son originally Nationalist but later sympathetic to Mao and supporting the revolution. He made a lot of money through his rubber plantation in southeast Asia and donated a big sum of money to establish schools in Xiamen. I believe the tourist industry wants to bring all visitors to this memorial to show the patriotism of the overseas Chinese and present Chen as an example. Augusl 13 About 20 students from the foreign language department greeted us at Xiamen University. As they led us for a quick tour of their beautiful campus, they pradiced their English conversation on us ... On the boat ride to Hong Kong, just outside the port of Xiamen, we saw the Nationalist-controlled five offshore islands. I suddenly fell strange. These islands are so dose to the mainland yet so far away economically (lnd politically. At night, as we traveled across the South China Sea, we ~ w many lights on the east side of the boat. Some jokingly said that we were heading to Taiwan. These lights are from the fishing boats. It is a beautiful scene in the dark night.
