2023 China Travel Notes: Beijing Theme [John Wei]
2023年中国行记：北京篇【卫高荣】

My 35 days 2023 China trip are Xiangyang, Hunan, Liaoning, Beijing 4 themes.
Here is the Beijing theme.
我的中国行有四大主题：襄阳篇、湖南篇、辽宁篇、北京篇。本文记录的是北京篇。
During the three years of the epidemic, I have been like a caged bird, rarely able to travel, let alone leave the country. Looking back on time, I visited Mainland of China on behalf of the Chinese American Economic and Culture Association in 2019, the year of China’s 70th National Day military parade. In 2023, when the epidemic was basically over and life gradually returned to normal, I was invited by relevant parties in China to start my overseas visits.
疫情三年，犹如囚笼之鸟，难得出行，更不说出境了。回望时间，我代表美中经济文化协会去中国大陆访问，已是2019年中国国庆70周年大阅兵那年的事情了。2023年，疫情基本结束，生活逐渐恢复正常，受中国有关方面邀请，我便开启了我的出访问工作。
