Mysse said she left the country im- pressed with the internal cohesion of the Red giant. "In terms of Communism, it's not so bad," she said. "Everyone is for the collective. collec-tive. That's what they know; that's how they function. It would be much more difficult dif-ficult for us." Still, she confesses, con-fesses, she wondered if the near-Utopian conditions she saw were typical. Mysse was a working tourist studying the Chinese systems of social health care. Her hosts told her that her particular field, drugs and alcohol, no longer is a problem in China. "Before the revolution, 15 million people had an opium problem," she said. "Now it's virtually disappeared. The only problem now is with the new Western drugs barbiturates, librium." Beer, wine, and whiskey are served with meals, but social drinking by itself isn't a custom. What are their vices then? "They drink a lot of tea, and they put. an extreme ex-treme amount of sugar in . their pop," Mysse said. . Sex education is taught in the communes or the" factories, fac-tories, she said. A couple must seek permission to have more than one child; parents with unauthorized t children will be fined or have their workpoints raised. Mysse found this kind of discipline in every aspect of Chinese life even in a Shanghai hospital for schizophrenics ' Patients were not sitting idly or pacing; they made dolls, clothes, played ping-pong, or wrapped drugs in paper containers. con-tainers. She did spot two recent admittees wrapped in sheets, like straitjackets. The treatment was a mixture mix-ture of Western drugs like Thorazine and an Oriental determination "to make every effort to get the person back into daily life," said Mysse. Doctors trace a patient's progress on the outside through an "assessment" process, which means talking with the- person's family, coworkers, co-workers, and supervisor, et al. Medical service is free, or given for a nominal fee of about one or two yuans (less than a doller). In a general hospital, Mysse got a look at the much-discussed procedure of acupuncture.

The doctors, doc-tors, she said, must be careful to insert the needles in the proper "channels." They don't think in terms of nerves. Herbs placed in the tips of the needles burned slowly. "The smoke just drifted away," she said. "We didn't understand how that worked." The tour group was a little hesitant about invading the . patients' privacy. But no one told the patients to be em-barassed. em-barassed. "They didn't pull the covers up over their heads," Mysse remarked. "They were pleased to show us their X-rays. And here, you even had this guy lying under acupuncture with his bare rump exposed ! " Mysse got a first-hand taste of Chinese medicine-no medicine-no bare rumps required! due to the very humid, overcast over-cast weather. "Most of us had some kind of cold. One lady with phlebitis missed several trips," she said. A Chinese doctor treating Mysse's cold gave her a pill "something with eucalyptus in it.". He prescribed 1Q pills a day for five days. The tourists also saw a Red Chinese schoolroom a simple collection of wooden desks, with a slogan like "Be Red and Expert" looming over the scene. Students are taught to love the motherland, and to help each other," she added. When a teacher breaks up a classroom fight, he does not demand, "Who started this?", but stresses quietly, "Honesty is what is important." impor-tant." Then he waits for his students to divulge the truth. "Everyone is a social worker in China," said Mysse. A teacher talks about a student's problems with the youngster's parents. If a man has problems with his wife, all the neighbors know about it, and eagerly interject inter-ject advice to keep him out of trouble. Tourists were allowed to leave the group, jump on a rickshaw or cab, and rubberneck, rub-berneck, as long as they notified the local guide ahead of time. "They're very conscientious about counting heads," she said. Tours still are the preferred mode for visitors because the Chinese receive a million visa requests annually.

"You walk into one of their department stores, bend over to see what they've got, and behind you, they're all looking at you," Mysse said. "We had this very obese woman on the tour, about 300 pounds, and the Chinese were just blown away by her. They're used to these small, flat-chested women. She had a sense of humour about it, but got a little tired of it by the time we got to Canton. "The people like to practice prac-tice their English on you," she said. They asked about the Presidential elections, and expressed shock at the current American custom of living together. "The Chinese have a basic belief in the family or extended family." The people are held together by a government structure that assigns them a job and cares for them. They work together to fulfill the Four Modernizations in industry, agriculture, science, scien-ce, and defense. Construction Construc-tion is going on everywhere, Mysse said, in order to meet the 1985 goal of an individual dwelling with electricity for each family. The streets are often littered at night with Chinese reading under streetlamps their most practical source of light at the present time.

How do you do it?" she asked one Chinese. "It works out," was his answer. Their culture includes ballet, acrobatics, and a heavy daytime schedule of educational TV. Books like "Roots," and magazines such as "Life" and "Time" are available to tourists. The look of the clothes is mostly unisex, said Mysse, though she did spot some Levis in southern China. Western influence in-fluence was spare a Coke machine at the border, and some rumors about a Peking Hilton being built. "What really surprised me was to find Max Factor being sold in our Peking hotel," she said. A few traces of capitalism may be creeping into the Communist structure. The government issues food rations, Mysse pointed out, but a citizen with food left over from his portion can sell it on an open market. West to East! And East to West! Mysse said her China experience "reinforced the idea that we must educate the American community in terms of mental men-tal health, and work as a community to help people adjust.'-' - ' She was sorry the trip allowed only a short impression im-pression of China.
