These sour grapes have long been fermented into Napa Valley sweet dessert wine.

As @Napoleon (the Little Corporal of Zimbabwe) declared on his high horse, "this isn't demolition one-upsmanship."

Granted I wholeheartedly agree with your last sentence, are you really going to compare Cuihui with the heart of the Dragon, let alone apartment v.s. land - of which the present value could eat up the upper bulk of 俊园 across from OP's former residence?

For what it's worth, please give my regards to your Chinese wife's Beijing classmate for her/his time ;)

@Trumpster

Before CPC rule, as insinuated ad nauseam and ad infinitum... apparently you didn't go back far enough.

For fear of China's deep learning algorithms running on Quantum architecture in five years - retroactively biting me in the arse, I'll refrain from disclosing specifics.

@Trumpster

What you and @Napoleon failed to understand, whereas @JanJal partially did, and @Geezer more so albeit sugarcoated a Disney version of history, was the the question of when. Persistently asking "where" our dispute land was the wrong question.

The "founding father" I was referring to predated the one aforementioned in your soliloquy... as was the status quo institution of law governing soil sovereignty, before the Imperial Japanese Army came knocking.

To your point of impermanence in ownership... civil wars or foreign invasion/occupation may likewise shatter America's "illusion" of true land ownership in a blink of an eye...

say, cannabis infused Californians hypothetically overthrew Trump 'Merica in a treasonous coup d'état, seizing all Trump Tower land deeds. The former First Family can try and sue the new, interim Cali regime to no avail. Vice versa in a parallel, alternate universe where the Confederates defeated the Union of the North.

Perhaps the Native American Indians, whom the early western colonists drove into near extinction got it right - the land was not something to be divided up, sold or owned by any one person... as @aienew alluded to.

Each to his own.

High school students in certain school districts in the U.S. are required to pass swimming exams prior to graduation. In many states, physical education classes are required in junior high.

Where we draw the line of bodily jurisdiction in academia is up for debate.

Notwithstanding, some Yunnan University students may take up this healthy lifestyle for their lifelong benefit.

I too hope the local district government accepts the Flying Tigers Research Institute preservation proposal, albeit the history of this Sino-US alliance gravitated towards the respective air forces of the U.S. and the KMT of China.

Praiseworthy historical reporting by Patrick Scally.

@Philou You're right, a typo. It ought to be called "胜利堂"... good research.

The actual station ought to be just north of Renming Zhong Lu. behind that modernistic Wuhua People's Government Building. Said empty lot under KRT construction used to be a school.

Across the Renming Zhong Lu. street to the South is the actual "胜利堂" monument. The south gate is known for selling puppies and kittens.

A garden landscaped park along Renming Zhong Lu has recently completed renovation, with a roundabout stone paved road connecting to Kunming 正义 Old Street, which is also being revamped in hopes of one day rivaling LiJiang's old street.

Nice to see Kunming spending money in realizing their 20-year goal.
