Double Happiness Reading #2
22 2014
Thank you 
everyone who joined me tonight for the second reading, which was from Chapter 13, “A Child’s Drawing of the End of the Earth.”
After the reading and a blessing on the incoming Chinese Year of the Horse, we discussed exactly what salary I received as a teacher, the alternating-chapters structure of the book, and why precisely I felt comfortable mingling with on-duty soldiers of the PLA.
For those of you who didn’t participate because of time conflicts, technical difficulties, being behind in the book, or simple forgetfulness, here’s a recording for your enjoyment (24 minutes):
