London, England
This 1993 trip to London marked a pivotal time for me as
I had just completed a massive train journey that began
months earlier in Hong Kong and took me through China,
Siberia, Russia, Eastern Europe to Paris and eventually
across the Channel to London. I had been reporting
for the BBC Chinese World Service from rural China and
came to the BBC's headquarters to produce finish
production on my series "Postcards
from China." In typical Chinese
fashion, my host zoomed me around the city just fast
enough so I could get a snap shot in front of every
major site.

""Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and
so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our
people, and neither do we."
"I want to thank the astronauts who are with us,
the courageous spacial entrepreneurs who set such a wonderful example for the
young of our country."
"Had we to do it over again, we would look at the
consequences of catastrophic success, being so successful so fast that an enemy
that should have surrendered or been done in escaped and lived to fight another
day."
