This is Wangwang's house.
It's about six feet wide and twelve feet deep. His kitchen is a hotplate. His bed functions as chair and bookshelf.
Wangwang is a friend in our community and invited Jacob and I over for dinner a few nights ago. I was humbled by his generosity and his humble abode.
After having dinner at Wangwang's, I don't think I'll ever complain about a living situation ever again. This minimalist lifestyle makes our American homes look like unnecessary monstrosities.
It's little lessons like these - taught without a whiteboard or lesson plan by teachers who don't know that they are teaching, which are tattooed in my mind forever.
