A group of Chinese,
escorting myself and my
associate in China, visit the Great Wall
"tourist" section outside Bejing.
Centered on one
of the original portals in the Wall, this segment has
been authentically reconstructed using (mostly) original
materials gleaned from the surrounding countryside. Over
the centuries, local peasants carried away huge numbers
of the ancient stones which were used for homes and other
farm buildings. The Chinese government simply told them
"Too bad; those belong to the PRC so give them back
-- now!"
