Which is exactly what I have been doing for 27 years - teaching students. Many students have come back to me years later and told me how much they learned from my classes. I have had a great time everywhere I have been,too - with the exception of Nanyang.

Some of what you wrote was about me and some of it might have been. Of course, I will defend myself in such a situation - isn't that what you just did here? I believe that there are two sides to every story - and you told one in a scathing way. I simply responded with the part of the story that you either could not know, chose not to know, or ignored(which of these apply, only your conscience knows). The fact that the people in Nanyang were willing to accept your blatant disregard of Chinese law and custom only adds to my complaints against them.

I notice you didnt respond to the difference between 27 years of success and one year of success nor to the difference between being qualified and being unqualified. I would not have expected a response because you have no argument. apparently, one post enabled you to learn that. There is hope for you yet.
