 (p [A few weeks ago I accepted the offer to perform a song at this
     year’s Niuren Competition.  As I was notified just two days
     before the event, I couldn’t make arrangements for taking the
     Stick, so ,(ref "/posts/2010-06-24-2010-niuren.html" "I just
     played a well-known song on the guitar").  After the performance,
     I chatted with a woman on site who had an awful lot of questions
     for me.  Turns out she is a reporter for the local newspaper
     ,(ref "http://www.yesqiaobao.com" "“Overseas Chinese News”").
     Later the journalist asked me to send her some photos of myself
     playing an instrument to illustrate an article they were
     preparing.])

 (p [The article is now available online, both as a ,(ref
     "http://www.yesqiaobao.com/qilinzhoukan/epaper/linfen/html/2010/06/30/C1/images/back.jpg"
     "newspaper-styled image") and a ,(ref
     "http://www.yesqiaobao.com/qilinzhoukan/epaper/linfen/html/2010/06/30/C1/C1_40.htm"
     "text version").  I am very happy that they chose the photo of me
     playing the Chapman Stick at home.  Thanks to Sandra Yan for the
     article!  (Careful: the newspaper’s website seems to be optimized
     for the Internet Explorer.)]))
