SUZHOU, China -- The struggle between the old and the new in China --
a tug of war affecting family life, the economy and the whole society
-- comes into focus in the office of Du Guo-Ling, the vice mayor of
this city and keeper of its cultural heritage.
Suzhou, a city of almost 6 million residents, is west of Shanghai in
the delta of the Yangtze River. It is famous for its gardens, which
combine limestone rocks, water, bamboo and other plants in a landscape
that changes at every turning. The canals that give the city its
special look go back to the sixth century, when it was known as the
kingdom of Wu.
