This picture shows the Guinea (aka Napier and elephant) grass, which was grown in trenches 18” apart. The ecological cycle was such that the cattle ate the grass, processed and dumped it out the other end. This was then stored, liquified and pumped up the hills to form fertilizers for the grass. This grew only in the summer months.

I was on one of those one day trips to Macau and China in the summer of 1983. So it would have been taken just across the border from Macau.

Cover Invitation to Joint Declaration Signing

Submitted by gracehf on Fri, 2017-06-30 10:58

My father was a journalist covering the Sino-British talks, subsequent signing of the Joint Declaration, and finally presided over the coverage of the Handover. He sat at Table 36 in the Great Hall of the People during the banquet. This invitation comes from his box of treasures from his days as an young and intrepid journalist. This is the front cover of the invitation.

My father recalls that the food wasn't very good at all, but there was plenty of Moutai being passed around.
