Really sorry to hear about the Chinese tourist being beaten. I hope justice will be served.
I sincerely love the Chinese people. We have many Chinese children in this area, and they are all adopted. They seem to be well loved, and well cared for.
I have many Chinese friends, and I spend Thanksgiving with a family and their extended family. Altogether about 30 people I have taken Chinese cooking lessons, and enjoy eating Chinese food. I know where I live the Chinese school children are considered the best and the brightest.
This tourist will be in my prayers and in my thoughts.
