I did not take a lot of pictures during my stay. Attached are a few of photos.
1. Car parking space is a big problem.
2. My 11 year old nephew in his home (an average home).
3. Dinning in a restaurant
4. Fireworks.

There are many pictures from my birth city taken by others. These photos are about two years old.

My birth city is in relatively developed costal province of China. Inland provinces are generally less developed. My general feeling is that the infrastructures in coast provinces are world-class now, but the human quality does not improve as fast as economic development. The year I went to university (29 years ago), only 110,000 high school graduates are admitted into university in whole China because the Culture Revolution almost destroyed high education system in China. So people with age above 40 years are generally not well educated. But currently, a large percentage of high school graduates from cities can go to university for education. Near by my birth city, a univerisity town that will accommodate 100,000 students is under construction. There are many similar university towns underconstruction now. So I think that it will take one or two generations for Chinese to catch up the education level of developed nation.
