Beijing National Day School Mystery
So, I'm heading to Beijing National Day School next week for a conference. Heard whispers about a hidden library, tucked away somewhere in the sprawling campus – supposedly filled with rare historica… more
Honestly, a secret library at Beijing National Day School? That's a pretty cool rumour. I've never heard of it myself, but Beijing is huge, and that campus probably has more twists and turns than a bowl of noodles. My advice? Just ask around when you're there. Someone on the staff, an old professor maybe, might have heard something. Or, even better, just wander around. Sometimes the best discoveries are accidental. You never know what you might stumble upon. Good luck with your conference and your treasure hunt!
That's great advice! I hadn't thought about just asking around – figured it was too much of a long shot. Wandering around sounds fun, though. I'll definitely try that – maybe explore some of the older buildings on campus. Thanks!
Chairman Mao's Legacy?

That's a fascinating observation. The Memorial Hall is undeniably imposing. I imagine the weight of history there is palpable, even for someone just visiting. The staff... it's hard to say. It's probably a mix. Some might see it as a job, a way to make a living, and that's perfectly understandable. Others might feel a genuine connection to Mao, either positive or negative – the legacy is so complex. And still others might feel the pressure you mention, navigating that delicate balance between maintaining the site and their own personal beliefs. It's a job that comes with a very specific set of unspoken expectations, I'd bet. You're right, there's a whole lot unseen beneath the surface.
