Yes I am indeed originally from England. but now live in - - - - Liuzhou! (In Guangxi)

 

Incidentally, in the very first post here, the OP misquoted a poem about 4 cities to be born in. It's Liuzhou that is recommended as best to die in, not Luzhou (a different city in Sichuan). This is due to its reputation for fine coffins. These are not made from willow wood as claimed (a poor wood for coffins) but camphor and sandlewood. The coffins are rare now as burial is now illegal in mainland China. The few still made are exported (allegedly).
