“You’ve broken the law,” he said. “You are required to carry your passport, and you must request permission before you report. You are not allowed to sleep on a cultural relic. All of these things are against the law. You could be fined, but we will waive it today. You must never do this again. Do you understand?”
I am not enjoying this book so much as the first one I read. Just now he talks for a while about Oracle bones. Then he talks for a while about the effort to get the Olympics in Beijing in 2008. Then he finally talks about something interesting which is going camping in an abandoned Town near the great wall outside of Beijing. He stumbles into a nearby town that is having an election and is detained by the police for four hours. He is questioned for much of that for hours then released. That is actually a pretty interesting story with a little bit of humor tossed in!
