Google is evil...
... in its ability to sap away valuable time and energy better spent on writing papers.
BUT I did find a picture online of an uncle I didn't particularly like (whom I haven't seen since puff paint rose up all over t-shirt bibs like a plastic pox).
George Orwell once said: "Everyone deserves the face he has at age 50."
Well corked, Orwell. Let's just say he is a rising Jiang Zemin impersonator (with tandem optician and slightly modernised barber). And appears to be quite important because he seems to be always making speeches (which makes the photos even less flattering because the eyes and lips are in what my friend Ve. calls the "dead cow" mode) and the pics are notably high resolution.
Still, his mouth is substantially less ambitiously scaled than Premier Jiang's, whose gape now makes me think of that line "flies enter a closed mouth". Is it Neruda or Sartre? Can't sort the mental soup at this hour, but the pretension just never flags :P
I also found some pictures of old classmates from elementary school. I'm not too sure it was actually them because it has been nearly two decades. Some look like they could be their namesakes. Some relatives I can't search for at all because I only knew their names phonetically. Funny how we come to know people and assign workable "names" to them that are not "official" in the eyes of objective documents and surveys.
How do you search for Auntie Zhang or Li, or Kim Lee if you're Korean?
I once searched for my childhood friend Peter Park, who is Peruvian-English-American and I got all these pictures of Hankook pastors. Honestly!
