Natong: 13 July 08 - Day 8

Today took a 1 day “orientation” trip for Nantong. Glad to have this trip, it allowed me to know more about Nantong. Want to know about Nantong’s history, 2 people (father and son) must know: 张謇 (died at 70+) and 张孝若 (died at 30+, murdered).

Since Qing Dynasty, they developed Nantong (economy, education, museum, park, traffic..etc). It looks like same situation as in Singapore.

张謇 张孝若 The house They opened a bank. Issued cash note with 张孝若’s picture. (thinking of open a bank and issue cash which has my picture on it. Hmmm, sounds like I am dreaming again).
