For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community.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 The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date.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.

a great way to get involved

Unfinished Business - a poem by South African John (Howard)

John has generously sent me this poem. Hope you will all enjoy!

Unfinished Business

CREATES AN ENERGY
OF LINKING
PAST TO FUTURE

INDECISION
INSECURITY
AND FEAR
ONLY SERVE
TO DELAY
WHAT WILL
BE ANYWAY

OUR TIME IS UP
IN CHANGCHUN
TO DRINK FROM ANOTHER CUP

IT IS BEGINNING
TO DAWN
IN MY HEART’S
MIND THAT
LOVE HAS
EVERYTHING
TO DO
WITH
ETERNITY

A BIT OF HEART
AND LOTS OF LOVE
WILL ALWAYS
REMAIN IN CHANGCHUN

John John Howard
