Hm, seems you know a lot about China, you even know the Ancient Wu, actually the Ancient Wu is just part of today's Jiangsu, that is the south area of Changjiang River in Jiangsu province, more accurately, I think, the area of Suzhou and Wuxi, do you know the two cities?lexico said:Hi, Quiet Sunshine!
Welcome to the forum!
Jiangsu province is a familar name for me.
The land of the Ancient Wu, right?
Great to have you here.
We have many Chinese members.
Some even speak Chinese.
I hope you make many friends here, and practice your Japanese!

I was born in Jiangsu, in the city of Wuxi.. Then I moved to Canada when I was two years old. I've been back to Jiangsu a couple of times. Beautiful place. It's where my mother's side of the family is from. (My father's side is from Yunnan.)
I only know what I know. But my passion often excceds my ability. I've been to Suzhou and Wuxi in 1992, I think. We started from Beijing, dropped by Jinan, climbed Taishan, continued on train southbound, and got on the Grand Canal all the way down to Suzhou, I think. We finally ended up in Shanghai, but I forgot what happened after that.quiet sunshine said:Hm, seems you know a lot about China, you even know the Ancient Wu, actually the Ancient Wu is just part of today's Jiangsu, that is the south area of Changjiang River in Jiangsu province, more accurately, I think, the area of Suzhou and Wuxi, do you know the two cities?

My best part of the trip was between Jinan and before Shanghai. I liked the culture that hadn't been tainted by city life. I think this was in Wuxi, where we went to the silk factory. We really didn't spend that much time there, because of the short tour schedule. But I often use maps and references to the Chunqiu and Zhanguo period, and the competition between Wu, Yue, and Chu to seize the sea board region is quite interesting...Anyway, thanks for replying. We can talk more later.
