Biography >

My elder brother and me in Tianjin in 1981. I was a college student with a light heart and fat body come home from Beijing for the Chinese Spring Festival. I didn't realise my brother's situation at that time. He had been living in northeast China for 10 years from 1969 to 1979 as an 'Intellectual Youth'. He went back to Tianjin with nothing - no job, nowhere to live, no wife - only two large boxes containing wood.
