From Luci's Province...

Here is an article from National Geographic that Amy Tan wrote...all about the Dong people of Guizhou Province, China. Luci is a Buyi, according to her orphanage director, but information from her province is hard to find, so this is a good look into Guizhou.

Here is a photo essay from that article.

And a video from Guizhou. True to National Geographic, there are some shots of swimmers...so you might want to cover the screen a couple of times if you have little ones watching.

Carla--I thought of you and your words from recent post of yours...so much was lost to our precious daughters. Much was gained coming here, to our homes, but much was lost.

from the article:

A Guizhou saying:

“Not three feet of flat land, not three days
without rain, not a family with three silver coins.”
