...yuan a month ($39.50), and his wife earns an identical amount in a nearby cotton mill. Their rent, however, is under 10 yuan per month for bedroom, living room, kitchen alcove and toilet-all unheated. Twenty-five years ago, such accommodations were beyond the reach of anyone but white-collar or professional workers...
...main part of Chung Shan Road pulsates with exercisers: sword dancers, slow-motion shadowboxers practicing the ancient art of tai chi chuan, joggers, tumblers, wrestlers and a few elderly gentlemen who simply lean against a tree and let one leg swing free. The skilled performers draw a great collar of spectators around them. Study the faces.

She shows the owners how the collar works: a downward jerk on the leash tightens it without choking the dog; release slackens the collar immediately. Next, each dog is paraded into the front of the class to show the owners that simple commands ("Heel," "Sit," "Stay") can be taught in five minutes. Trainer Woodhouse's commands and corrections rumble steadily, and the choke collar comes into play. "Heel!" she commands, slapping her thigh...
