John is visiting Xiao Li’s hometown, Shenzhen. They haven’t seen each other for 10 years. This is the third time John has visited there. He thinks Xiamen is one of the most boring places he has been to. Xiao Li loves living by the roadside. He and John are walking around Xiamen, talking about the weather, the apartment block, the business district, the western district and Gulangyu Island. At last they are too hungry (starving) to drive on. So they park the car and go over to a beef restaurant for lunch.
