Contexto
On our return, at the station, before leaving China, all the French people, men and women, came up to kiss her. The young girl, surprised on the spur of the moment, went red as a beetroot, stood as still as a statue and let herself be kissed, not knowing what to do. The young girl was embarrassed because in China, the act of men and women kissing has a connotation of love.
