An Aside
The waves lapped softly as the boat plied its way north with an almost imperceptible motion. We had left the lights and hubbub of Hong Kong behind, and the moon shone brightly on the calm water. As we entered the Pearl River delta on our way to Guangzhou (Canton), I settled in for the overnight journey, waiting to arrive early the next morning. With a traveling distance of about 75 miles, we were definitely on the slow boat to China.- October 1986
