Chinese back home after nightmare in Solomons – Xinhua

From Xinhua (link):

After a six-hour flight and nearly four-hours on a bumpy bus, Ma Peizhu finally saw her parents’ grey-brick house on the outskirt of Taishan, a southern Chinese city and the ancestral home of generations of overseas Chinese.

“Thank God I am home.” said Ma who burst into tears as she hugged her parents tightly. Her two-year-old daughter, understanding little of what was happening, turned on a beaming smile for grandparents.

Ma and the other four members of her family were among the hundreds of Chinese who have returned home from the Solomon Islands after escaping recent riots there.
