"The man with the paper spoke Spanish. He had been a teacher in Cuba during Mao's time (in 10 years of travels he was the 4th Cuban trained teacher I met). The things he missed most about Cuba were the girls, the music, and the dancing. Apparently he had fallen in love, but "relations" were forbidden and when he and his girlfriend were discovered he was sent back to Yunnan.
"Nobody wants to learn Spanish here," he said, "only English." Years later he married a local Kunming girl. His wife forbids him from playing his Son and Changüi records, but he does anyway when she's out."
