Andrew Bennett talked for the first time about the night his wife was killed. The judge thought it was he who killed his wife. Now he wrote to a magazine from the prison about what happened on the night of November 23.1995.
“I had to stay late at the hospital that night to do an operation. I left at about 11 p.m. I drove home slowly because the weather was terrible. The wind was blowing and it was raining heavily. I was turning into our road when a man suddenly ran in front of my car. I almost hit him but I stopped just in time. I was frightened and the men looked frightened, too. I got out of the car but he ran away before I could ask if he was all right. It was very strange. When I got home, the lights were on but it was very quiet. I called to my wife but there was no answer. Then I remembered that she was out at a concert.”
“I was still very upset about what happened on the road. So I went to have a bath. Then I saw that the window in the bathroom was open. This was strange because my wife always locked the doors and windows before she went out. She was afraid of burglars. When I went to close it, I found Ellen lying there, blood everywhere. I rushed over and felt for her pulse but she was dead. I sat on the floor beside her body and was too frightened to do anything.”
“The next thing I knew was the sky was getting bright. I can’t remember a thing about that night. In the morning I phoned the police. They arrived half an hour after I phoned them. But it seemed like a few hours. During that time I tried hard to remember anything I could about the night before. I couldn’t stop thinking about the man in the road. What was he doing on that night in our quiet neighborhood? Why did he look so frightened? Why did he run away?”

The Dong People(侗族人) and Their Indigo cloth(靛蓝色布)
Yang Xiuying, 74, sits at wooden loom (织布机). As her fingers pass the shuttle (梭子) back and forth through the cotton threads, the old machine comes to life.
Ever since she was a young girl, Yang has been making indigo cloth. “This type of handmade cloth is extremely rare. You h1. buy it at the market,” she said.
For the Dong people in Guizhou, making indigo cloth has a long tradition. The s2. has been passed down from mother to daughter over generations. Nearly every family makes its own cloth.
This traditional way of making indigo cloth, unfortunately, is now in danger. It will disappear slowly in the modern industry society. Young people show little interest in it. Some of them have m3. to big cities to find better jobs.
Local officials want to save the tradition. They are trying to change young people’s a4. towards it. One program has set up several cloth-making factories in Guizhou. After learning how to make indigo cloth, young Dong people can find jobs easily. They can also work closer to home.
The Dong people consider indigo cloth as i5. as rice. Many Dong women spend countless hours making the cloth. They rise and start working very early in the morning. To make the cloth shiny, it must be rubbed (搓) and beaten hard. The noise of cloth being beaten often w6. the whole village up.
Almost every Dong women over 40 has a tub for indigo dye (染料). The cloth has to be put in the dye for many rounds to gain the rich color. The p7. of coloring usually takes two weeks.
Yang holds out her purple and wrinkled (有皱纹的) hands. “They say she who has the darkest hands makes the best cloth,” she says proudly.
