One afternoon just before the Chinese New Year got underway, we took a walk over to the school where my Wife (and all her siblings, and her parents) attended middle school (which is essentially the same thing as junior high + high school in the U.S.).
She remembers it being “a lot smaller,” with just a couple or so buildings, but now it’s expanded and has the feel of a small campus, maybe akin to a junior college back in the States (with Chinese middle school characteristics).
Here are a few pictures and a video from the center of the sports field to give you your bearings, and note that you’ll see a temple roof across the wall in the middle of the video. That’s the temple we visited that I described in this post.
Update P.S. This is also the school field where townspeople, including my wife and her siblings, and her parents’ generation when they were schoolchildren, were “strongly encouraged” to show up to witness public executions (1950s-1980s) as civic lessons in “what happens when people break the law.”
