Gee, I wonder whether Anna S. remembers that long ago in a different life, I used to phone her in a state of mind similar to that of milum. I don't think I ever said anything as profound as "I am so much an unremovable part of life", but it wasn't for want of trying.

Yeah, I got the Hu thing from a few sources, but it still makes me laugh. They could have done that back in '86 or some year, when Hu Yaobang and Hua Guofeng were major officials. Or maybe that's just so much bull deng.
