Missing a boy like him - Jiang Bo - Nantong


Bobo from Nantong in Jiangsu Province joins us as the next participant in Connecting China.
Half a year ago her first boyfriend got jailed for four years, for dealing in soft drugs. That was also the end of three festive years in Wuxi, where Bobo studied business. Now she works in the toy factory of her father in Nantong - Jiangsu province, where one day she might be in charge, or not. "At the university in Wuxi, I could always go to parties, even in Shanghai." Nantong is at the other side of the river and it takes more than three hours to get to Shanghai; in 2009 a new bridge to Suzhou will be reading, reducing travel to 1.5 hours.
"My father wants me to study business in Australia, but I do not want to leave," she says. Having parties and going to disco's are still higher on her agenda. At work she surfs the internet, looking for business opportunities for her father. "Of course I'm much better on the internet than he is," Bobo says. "The toys we make are so lovely." She is since 1997 online.
"People in Holland are allowed to use soft drugs isn't it?" she asks. "I never use drugs, but I do drink too much beer."
