A Postcard Journey

On Monday, December 18, 2017 a “新时代 新征程” (“New Era, New Journey”) Development Summit was held at 天宝花园 (Tiānbǎo Garden) Hotel in 兴化 (Xīnghuà), 江苏省 (Jiāngsū province), China to solemnly commemorate the 30th anniversary of the founding of the city of 兴化 (Xīnghuà) – which happened in December 1987 – through a series of accounts attesting to its economical and urbanistic growth. Four-time Women’s World Chess Champion 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán) (pictured above with pink jacket) – actually born in 兴化 (Xīnghuà) – was among those who attended the symposium. Photos: tianbaohotel-xh.com.cn.
