I was never good with good-bye. Those last words you’ll ever hear from someone- that’s a lot of pressure. Today I’m flying Shenzhen airlines from Nanchang to Shanghai, then on to the US via American Airlines.
It’s been three years since I arrived. In that time, I’ve experienced so many wonderful and fascinating faces of China. Some of my students have graduated. The book, Jiujiang 9 Rivers, was published. I’ve witnessed countless new things impossible to have seen anywhere else.
So I want to thank you Jiujiang, the people of Jiujiang, and China. This has truely been a remarkable time in my life.
I only hope the next adventure will be able to measure against this.

The flooding in southern China has almost escaped presence in Jiujiang, the northernmost city in Jiangxi province. The capitol city, Nanchang, hasn’t been so lucky as well as many other cities and rural areas further south, however, the flood walls in downtown Jiujiang which keep the mighty Yangtze river (Chang jiang in Chinese) at bay are beginning to show their worth as water levels rise higher and higher.
A flood gauge found painted on one wall of a boat ramp shows the waters at nearly 20 meters above flood stage. Though the accuracy of the numbers could not be verified, the waters edge pushing this far up a typically dry dock are clue enough that the flooding in southern China is at Jiujiang’s city edge.
