Panxian, a town of hidden history

---

I have been in Panxian for nearly 18 years since I graduated from university and was allocated to work as an English teacher in a senior high school of a coal company. It was an attached school of the company, Panjiang Coal, which is the biggest coal and power company south of Yangtze River. The school is now being transferred to the local government, since the central government don't encourage state-run companies to provide services which should be provided by the government, such as hospitals, police, schools and so on. That's the general background of where, who and what I am.

Panxian is an old town dating back to the Ming Dynasty (1364-1683). It was once the frontier of Pu An, which was a prefecture in ancient times but now a county like Panxian.
