On Meeting “Lao Hsiang” from Xinyang in Ann Arbor (Around 2000):
“Oh, so you are Chinese – that is remarkable. Where are you from in China”, he asked. “Wuhan”, he answered, and he thought he might have some connections. Then he asked where I was from, and when I answered “Xinyang”, he said – “You’ll have to meet my mother – she’s from Xinyang, too!”. A small world indeed.
