Yingwen Laoshi - 2006-07-23

As a foreign teacher who has just completed a year teaching at Gannan college in Jiangxi I feel almost obliged to add something to this thread. I was present at the college during the whole of Doctor James Cross' time there, and got to know him on a personal basis.

I fully support Doctor James Cross' claim that he was harrassed. His privacy was GROSSLY invaded at Gannnan college! They did keep his belongings at the school for three months. I believe that action was totally unwarranted, if not illegal! James did not owe any money to the school. I don't feel obliged to give any more details about the matter than have already been given by James himself. I do feel, though, that the school was guilty of double standards. There was, apparently one rule for Chinese people/staff, but another for foreigners.

I don't know any details of his issues with the Nanchang authorities, as those affairs took place after he left Gannan college.

I understand other teachers being confused and perhaps a little bit frustrated at the lack of details in the letter, but of course James will, if at all, reveal those at his own discretion.
