A recent visit to Wuxi, Jiangsu province, has left a lasting impression on Singaporean public figure Tan Kin Lian – so much so that he recently wrote on Facebook: "I am now a friend of Wuxi, China."
The remark came after he read an article about his trip to Wuxi, published on the city's official English website. The story had been compiled from his own Facebook posts, photos, and videos, but what moved him most was not the publicity itself. It was the respect and sincerity behind it.
The friendship began only weeks earlier.
