Visit to Sam Yu's Family
in Huoshan, Anhui, China

11. Sam's Mom in her Kitchen

This shows the Yu family kitchen. You can see the bottled gas bottles that the mother uses for cooking. A typically Chinese kitchen but somewhat larger than many. Remember this family sits in the upper-middle class of Chinese society. The home, quite large by Chinese standards, had very nice and comfortable furniture. This family had purchased a very nice home in the city of Huoshan. We visited it while it was still being built. The new home cost about 105,000 Yuan ($12,700 US). This gets you the shell and you hire another contractor to finish off the inside. This can be about 40,000 yuan ($4,800 US).
