They joined before 1949. Because of the sensitive nature of the situation, politics cannot be brought up at all when I meet them, but that does not stop my excitement! I’m posting here because I have nowhere else to talk about this. I’ll see if I can post about it again in a few weeks to let all of you know what kind of person they are or if they had good life advice.
I have also had the chance to meet a pre-new china member of the cpc. He was my grandpa actually. Unfortunately he died a couple years ago and the last time I was back in china I didn’t know what a marx was…
I wish you the best of experiences though.
