We have settled back into life in China and to celebrate our return, the powers that be attempted to throw a middle aged woman under my car on the Tianbei Highway yesterday. Luckily I was paying attention as she cycled casually and without looking, on a path that was to intersect the front grille of my jeep. I swerved around her and it was only then that she looked up and saw me pass by within a centimeter of her. I wonder if she realised that she almost died. I’m sure she wondered something, becuase she had a look of consternation on her face as she hopped off the bike in the middle of the busy road and watched me drive off into the haze.
