She lives in Heilongjiang Province in Northeastern China near Russia and Korea. It is very cold there in the winter– if you’ve seen pictures of the Ice Festival where they make houses and lampposts out of ice – this is the place. She lives in the city of Mudanjiang. Mudanjiang has a temperate monsoon climate with an annual average temperature of 3.5oC and 126 frost-free days (Think about it)
In the summer, it is very pleasant and a place many people come to vacation in as there are some beautiful lakes nearby.For the last 7 years, she has been in the Children’s Welfare Institute there. Here are some pictures. Guohua is in the orange, Guoyuan is in pink shirt.
There are several hundred children who live here from small babies and including children in high school. There are many kind teachers and helpers who care for the children. All the children attend school. GuoHua also is tutored in English once a week.
