Abstract
As the hot sun of my last morning in Chengdu edged over the horizon, I waded through the dusty crowds to the bus station. People were clustered all around the small stands where they could buy long sticks of bread cooked in hot oil, slurp bowls of rice porridge and sip tea. I was in a hurry to get to the buses, however, so didn’t stop for anything.
