50 years ago I travelled from Guilin to Yangshuo by sampan. I was enchanted with the fantastic beauty of Lijiang scenery which fully proves the truth of the chinese saying: "Lijiang shanshui jia tian xia". I got acquainted with the boat people and the trip in this beautiful land inspired me to write a romantic story,"Daughter of the river", about the life of boat people.I am sure it would be interesting for the tourists who are coming to see the wonders of Lijiang river, especially in view of the fact that the transportatiion by sampans ceased long ago and they can get a glimpse of the life of boat people in my story.I wrote about this also to Guilin tourist association. I hope that that the story might be published in China, in English, for foreign tourists and may be also translated.
I published another story, in Yugoslavia and in Canada "Documents of the Taishan pilgrim" after my pilgrimage to Taishan in 1959.
