WUSIH ON THE GRAND CANAL Tsung-meng lives in the industrial city of Wusih which is 50 miles west of Shanghai. It stands on the shores of Lake Taihu and is bisected by the Grand Canal. The delta region in which Wusih lies is known as the Land of Fish and Rice because rice is the chief crop and fish abound in the lakes, streams and canals which interlace the land.

The exaggeration with darkness imparted to the glooms of this region impressed Henchard more than he had expected. The lugubrious harmony of the spot with his domestic situation was too perfect for him, impatient of effects, scenes, and adumbrations.

Those who make the rest of the dead... to be the same with the remnant slain by the sword... to be consistent, ought to make the first resurrectionists the same with the armies in heaven.
