The parents of a student of mine are from China. His mother has spoken to me at length about communism and the ongoing tyranny, which has extended to her even now, though she lives in the US. I cannot give details, because what I post is public, and the internet extends around the world. If she were to post what is going on, there would be repercussions. Americans need to know this. The presence of communism in America causes concern for her and me. She snapped these pictures at one of the few places in China where Christmas is celebrated and grapes are grown for altar wine. I will refrain from identifying the location. Also, here is an entry from Wikipedia about Matteo Ricci, SJ, the last pic, one man who was able to blend European and Chinese cultures - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matteo_Ricci Both parents are well-educated, and their 7-year-old son reads at high school level. The family is not Catholic, but how magnanimous she is for taking/sharing the pictures. No one owns a gun. One rents land for 70 years. There is no homestead to pass on.
