Here you can see an article about the walk in The Beijing News that was in print the 4th of July.
There has been quite a lot of interest for the walk lately, and while I remain fairly close to Beijing, I hope to meet some more journalists to talk about the walk. As the interest for the walk seems to grow in China, I am considering contacting a Chinese cancer institute to ask if it would be possible for me to start raising money in China for them on the remainder of my walk.
These coal bricks on your today’s photo are called Bee Hive Coals (Feng(1) wo(1) tan(4)) in Chinese. You can clearly see why ;-).

“See an article” is a perfect description – Russian is more than hard enough for me to read, so Chinese – well, yes, I can see the signs and I’ve heard before that the signs do resemble their meaning in some way. Though I have no idea what e.g. a ‘5’ written the opposite way minus a roof on a pole and then a tent by a road light means… So all I perfectly understood was 4, 15, 2 and 1989 (was that when you walked England and started dreaming about the Chinese wall?). Which Chinese cancer institute are you thinking about and how do they work? Keep on the good walk, Robert.
