As is usual with anybody corresponding from China, please remove attributions... :-( On my most recent trip back, I had a chance to talk with some people about the September bombing. They refer to it as "nine one one". Some time ago, somebody had made a prediction that 2001 would give China "four happies". The first three were - China is approved for the WTO - Beijing gets the 2008 Olympics - China qualifies for the (Soccer) World Cup and many people belive that the fourth was - WTC bombed. The saying quoted to me was "behind the WTC is a yellow ghost" referring to Wang Wei, the pilot killed in the surveillence plane collision. Wish I had better news...
