The Red Thread runs through Memphis
I didn't realize there was much of a Chinese community in the Bluff City, but there is. There is even a Chinese Baptist Church in Cordova! I met a woman named Dee Dee yesterday who is from Guangzhou. She and her husband have lived in Memphis for 12 years. She is also a Shelby County employee (she works for the assessor's office--I work for the D.A.'s Office). We met at a party for our friends, the Martins, who recently adopted their second daughter from China. Dee Dee offered to help Brett and me with any translations we may need. She was very excited for us, and excited that we will be traveling to her hometown. (The U.S. Consulate is in Guangzhou and that is where we will go to make the adoption final before traveling back to the U.S.) It seems that the Red Thread is running through Memphis.
