Summary

Description
English: In December 1978 I visited The People's Republic of China. I was the first Westerner some of the local Manchurians in Changchun had ever seen in person. All foot and bicycle traffic came to an immediate halt in this scene. This happened wherever I went, especially in Jilin Province, which is near the North Korean border. I was with an American "study group" but I feigned sick one day while the others left to visit the hydroelectric plant in Jilin. Despite the consternation on the part of the guards, I was able to leave the police compound and walk around on my own. People initially ran away in terror upon seeing a "foreign devil," but gradually came back to fill the street and stare.
中文:1978年12月,我访问了中华人民共和国。我是长春的一些当地满洲人亲自见过的第一个西方人。在这一幕中,所有的脚踏和自行车交通都立即停止了。这种情况发生在我去过的地方,特别是在靠近朝鲜边境的吉林省。我和一个美国的“学习小组”在一起,但有一天我假装生病,而其他人则去参观了吉林的水电站。尽管警卫对此感到惊愕,但我还是离开了警察院,独自走来走去。人们最初在看到一个“外国恶魔”时惊慌失措,但逐渐回到街上盯着看。Michael E. Arth。
