Today, Rachel is still living in Chengdu, helping handicraft producers in remote areas for ten years. What makes her keep the original desire to help others for the past decade?

China never forgets its true friends. Like Edgar Snow, Norman Bethune, David and Isabel Crook, Alfred Bosshardt, etc.

雖然我不知道他們是誰,在此我向他們志敬!謝謝!

Always the common people touched the most! She looks so calm and determined. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Wish you good health and happiness.

Rachel, thank you for the good work you are doing and the sacrifices you've made to make lives better for a lot of people around you. God bless you and keep you in good health.

A noble and moral person. We will always remember you, Rachel.

谢谢这位英国女士！ 我相信很多中国人会衷心的感谢您的付出！

[@hihi-pd6wy]

能不能先讓英國把從中國皇宮御書房搶劫的超過70萬冊科技哲學典籍，數百萬件器物包括科技儀器實驗設備藥物試劑儀器儀錶等退還給中國啊。忙著找尋西方面孔來感動自己的物種，就不看看中國有多少跑到國外扶貧的嗎？十字軍唱屍班的低貝戔種群。每個嘴皮感動姿勢都令人作嘔。
