But before you go, thank you and your wife for all

that you have done to build links between our two countries.

Madame Xie has been tireless in her efforts to twin towns.

One she must be particularly pleased with is the twinning

of Leicester with your own birth city, Chongqing.

Now sad duty to bid you farewell and let you return to

home province, Sichuan. Done our best to make you feel at

home. Understand "The Sichuan dog barks at the sun" is a

proverb testifying to unpredictable weather there. Hope

therefore you have at least felt at home in our weather of

last few weeks.

Safe journey home.
