A forbidden topic

A whole lot is going on in Chengdu now, in all of China actually, but I think it can be felt here more than many other places. Let's just say that due to current events there is a heightened threat level and therefore a police presence that is not normal here in Chengdu; heavily armed police guard the main areas and there are not many places you can go without spotting a patrol car or two. My friend has also been told to be careful, there has actually been a murder just outside his school. Scary things, this is all I will say.
