SARS, I’ll Overcome You
The first Chinese school I taught at in Hefei had English sayings plastered all over the inside and outside walls. As I’ve been looking through my old photos (’cause I’m bored), I came across this particular favorite:
SARS, I’ll overcome you!
As a bonus, I’ll let you in on a little secret. When I was getting ready to leave for my 2005 China trip, I’d been told about ILP teachers in the past being boarded up in their schools due to “SARS being in that city.” I thought they were talking about czars and was both excited and worried about the idea of foreign teachers having to hide from rulers passing through the area.
