Jim was very excited about his audience with Chairman Mao at the Forbidden City. We tried to explain to him that the Chairman has been dead for several years, and he would only be seeing a picture of the man. His enthusiasm could not to be suppressed. He insisted that we take several pictures of the two of them together. When Jim saw them, he was disappointed that the Chairman did not smile as widely as Jim would have liked. Jim was also disappointed that the Forbidden City was, ironically, closed due to the upcoming 60th anniversary of the People's Republic of China.
