my pinoy maoist classmates were shocked to see this "desecration". ads for a toothpaste at the great helmsman's feet. and the following year, mao's monument was torn down.
we hit summer and had to shed off lots of clothing and my sense of propriety. i went to school in this get-up. i was the belligerent student, i thought, until i saw my teachers wearing the same shorts though somewhat longer.
It will be 20 years next year since I finished my course in acupuncture in China. And, I wish I can go back again next year just to touch base with teachers and classmates.
