Hi folks,

I want to give a big "thank you" to those who came to the dinner arranged on my behalf while I was in Beijing in late July - early August. 

The food was great, and the conversations were lively, even a little heated at times (but in a friendly manner). The two Zhangs (Zhang Longzhong and Zhang Xuexian) were no doubt the stars of the night. I especially enjoyed Zhang Longzhong's somewhat cynical and sarcastic parody (Or should it be called something else?) "Gan le ba!" (Drink it up!) But I don't remember the whole lines now. Does anyone at the dinner remember the whole piece and want to share it with all here? 

Attached is a photo for the night, and the people in it are:

Rear row: Hu Ping, Zheng Guijun, Shi Hailan, Lei Yonghong, Li Jianhua
Front row: Zhang Xuexian, Zhang Longzhong, Yu Rong, Liu Jun, Fu Zhigang

Also, I would like to vote for next summer for the reunion. 

Best,
Yu Rong
