Er Zheng has quickly became a good friend. Wang Dan introduced us a few weeks ago and we seem to spend most weekends with him. He can't speak English although this does not seem to matter.

His nickname comes from the traditional Chinese musical instrument called an "Er Zheng" or two string violin.

On Tuesday he invited us to his family home in Wenzhou to celebrate Tian Yi (his daughter) birthday.

We had a great time and met his extended family who all turn out to be very musical.

We got together again on Thursday night back in Qingtian for drinks and hotpots and organised a dumpling making party at our home this coming Sunday.
