If she was, say, 3 or 5 years old, then strangers everywhere would have been touching her hair for luck (or maybe just curiosity). They would mean well and wouldn't mean to hurt her, but I've known people who took young blond children to China and regretted it. The children eventually became scared and upset from strangers constantly coming up and rubbing their heads. It’s a good thing that their daughter is 11.

Can I get your permission to translate them into Chinese and post them in a Chinese non-profit blog? The original resource and author would be mentioned before the translation.

I spent a month there in '99 with my Dad on a Robinson Crusoe trip. (Abercrombie and Kent and all the good ones do the same trip). You cover about 10,000 miles inside China, do the Three Gorges cruise, etc. I completely agree that you can feel the hum of potential while you're there, but the extremes are very evident. I look forward to going back for the Olympics. it sounds like we had very similar experiences. I spent a month there in ‘99 with my Dad on a Robinson Crusoe trip.
