OUR PLANE
LOST A BUTTON
& SO...
IN 1981, IN CHINA, WE WERE TOLD THAT
OUR PLANE HAD LOST A BUTTON.
SO WE LANDED IN JI'AN,
DEFINITELY NOT A TOURIST TOWN.
EARLY IN THE MORNING
I WANDERED TO
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RIVER
AND FOUND
A SCHOOL ABOUT TO COMMENCE,
INCLUDING AMONG ITS PUPILS
THIS REMARKABLY SELF-POSSESSED
YOUNG WOMAN OF A GIRL.
CHINA THEN AND NOW
