Rosie just got off the phone with her old classmate in Southwest China.
This lady has a daughter, aged 17. Me: “I guess she’s on summer vacation.”
Rosie laughed. They don’t HAVE summer vacation. College-entrance exams
coming up, the kids are in school right through the summer. “They study ten
days, then have a day off. School starts at seven every day.” Kinda …
competitive.
