One other, very interesting thing we wdiscovered about NingDu is that 99% of the people in the county are Hakka, a small subsection of the Han. About 15 million Hakka are living in China and abroad, with the largest concentration otside of China being in Malaysia (1 million) of all places. Something to do research on, but it explains the difficulty many people have with the local dialect.
We now refer to mae as Hakka Girl, and I think it suits her beautifully.

I saw a link for your blog on APC. I found this post particularly interesting, as our daughter is from Tonggu in the Jiangxi province, and that area also has a majority Hakka population.
