7-Hour Delay
by Jing Liu ~ September 23rd, 2009. Filed under: Experience, Libraries in China, National Library of China.Just thanked my friends for the ride to YVR and then saw the notice about my flight’s delay. Seven hours! Kids were happy seeing me back home so soon. Had to email Beijing right away.
When I received the reply from the National Library of China (NLC), I was so moved and relieved. I was picked up from the Beijing airport by NLC staff around mid-night Beijing time. Mr. Yin even helped me with my luggage and hotel check-in. He had to start working at 6:30 am.
A few hours later, I dressed up and started meeting with all the overseas attendees of the NLC cenntenial celebration.
