Report from Chengdu
 
 L-R: Iris, Song Yang, Kuang Li (Poet) in front of a candy shop.
 (October 2007)
 
editor's note:
 
This letter is from Iris, (English name) one of the interpreters that I met on my first trip to China. She served as an interpreter on our second trip as well. Iris is a very sweet person who has a small child of her own. This letter is in response to a letter I sent to her inquiring as to her safety and well being.

James,

I really appreciate all of your care and prayers and thank God, my families and I are fine. And all my colleagues are well.

In general, Chengdu is OK but Dujiang Dam and Pengzhou County because they are near from the earthquake center Wenchuan.

Municipal and District government and Bureaus are busy, especially Commercial Bureau (I work at) have responsibility to organize materials for Disaster Zone and hurted people. Hospitals are very busy too.

best to all of you

Iris
