Abstract: | Ancient,but longing to be modern In most people's eyes,Xi'an,the capital of Shaanxi,a province in western China,is an alias for Ancient China,which is also what Patricia from Arizona,U.S.,who was sitting next to me on my Xi'an flight thought as well.My husband and I managed to spend one precious day there in our busy China trip schedule,just to have a look at the great Terra Cotta Warriors,Patricia's eyes were glimmering as we set off flying towards history. |
