Prophet Jonah and the Whale of Yangtze River
Tuesday, June 14, 2016
A heated discussion took place in the second-floor sitting room at Tong Hu Li's house in mid-April. The 53-year-old farmer had been relocated because his village in Fengdu, China, was drowned following the construction of the Three Gorges Dam. Fengdu sits on the banks of the Yangtze River.
Before him, some 15 American tourists sat in a circle on plastic seats. Unable to speak English, Tong was assisted by Three Shi, another river guide.
