Randolf rented a nice studio south of the Pearl River near Hai Jin Bridge. It is a cheap location in a quite street. He had a lot of visiting artist friends. He played a lot of Chinese chess with his neighbors too.
One time he was using a Chinese prostitute to model for one of his studies, but an old lady who was a kind of neighborhood lookout must have informed the police. It all ended in a big laugh when Randolf asked the policeman to model for him. Guangzhou is a pretty free place altogether. "The further away from the mountain, the less chance to fall off." This is an old Chinese saying - meaning that Guangzhou is far away from Beijing (the political mountain) and as such, enjoys much more freedom.
