dì liù shí jiǔ kè zhù hè nǐ qiáo qiān zhī xǐ! 第六十九課 祝賀你喬遷之喜！ Lesson 69 Congratulations on moving to your new residence! Moving is a major and delightful part of life in China today as the nation enters an era of being a developed society. It is called "a happy occasion of moving into a new residence," involving moving from very cramped quarters into something more spacious and modern. The Chinese have never before had a chance to choose their ideal home and decorate it to their taste as they have today.
