For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community. This website is maintained sporadically, people may still join and membership is still open, but if you are a spammer, stay away. The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date. There are plans to make it more useful for static information in the future. If anyone needs information about Changchun or China, you may post a message and it probably will get a response but not immediately.

Changchun Friends

a great way to get involved

I found Mary at my parents' graveside and took this amazing photo. Mary is a very spiritual Chinese woman and this photo made a lot of Scots cry with tears of joy and I just wanted to share it with you all.

I do not know how to translate this sentence“树欲静而风不止,子欲养而亲不待。” But Parents will know the happiness of our lives, we miss them.

Thank you for the beautiful comments. Mary is the best ambassador ever and has made such a great impression wherever she goes she is truly remarkable and Scotland just loves her. She is showing the Chinese to be so peaceful, charming and loving. Her Chinese name is translated to "a quiet knowledge" and she really is.

Profound and deeply moving.

Thanks. It was my first visit to mother's resting place. I was busy with Thomas when we arrived nearby in my sister's car. This is what I found when I arrived at the graveside. It was really moving. Mary had never met either of my parents but talked often by phone to my mother, they were very close and it was a great shame they never got to meet in person as they are so alike in so many ways.
