I look forward to bringing educational and fun experiences in Asia to my granddaughter Mila, who lives in Oklahoma, USA. She can learn about the world vicariously through all my adventures. I got a flat stuffed toy to join me. She is reversible. One side is a little girl, with angel wings and the other is a ladybug. I call her LadyB. I sent the same toy to Mila, which she can name as she sees fit. My Chinese name is Gonggong (公公), which means grandfather in Chinese.

I want to also share my China life with other youngsters and adults, so enjoy the stories. Hopefully you can show them around.

I posted the first 15 on Facebook and got many complaints from fans who hate it, don’t use it or got banned, of which there are more than you realize. Not just them, but Facebook – not to mention Instagram, Reddit, Quora, SoundCloud, StumbleUpon/Mix, Substack, TikTok, X and YouTube – all heavily shadow ban/block me, as you can see below. Therefore, I decided to start posting them on China Rising Radio Sinoland, where I have the artistic freedom that you deserve to fully enjoy. Catching up with #11 here.

Typical Facebook censorship. All three of their explanations are utter BS. It’s there, but you have to dig to get to it.

ADVENTURES IN ASIA WITH LADYB AND GONGGONG
Story #11: Every street is a public park in Puli Town.
Puli Town, Nantou County, Taiwan Province, China

Dear Granddaughter Mila,

Puli does not have many public parks, but the citizens make the whole town a greenhouse to walk around in. House after house and businesses keep potted gardens in front, streetside, some simple and modest, others quite elaborate. So, LadyB and I love strolling in Puli, admiring all the beautiful flowers, bushes, trees and plants.

Nobody steals them. This is China!

Love, Grandfather Gonggong
