Here is a scene that we came upon during our second week in Changzhou, parents and grandparents at a set of school gates waiting to pick up their children at the end of a school day. When we came upon the scene in September, 2006, we didn’t recognize the situation at all. Not being able to recognize the word school (学校), we were quite puzzled as to what was happening with so many motorbikes and scooters gathered in front of locked gates. Of course, not knowing what was happening only opened up the door for our imaginations to come up with their own wild ideas. Eventually we finally realized that it was a school and not a protest or workers being locked out of their place of employment or visiting hours at a local prison. Yes, imagination can supply all kinds of explanations for unknown situations. That is why it is best to keep the contents of one’s imagination to one’s self rather than sending them out to family and friends and giving a false picture of China.
