As a result of introduction by blogger 梅卫平 in his article在科学网博客添加按国家区分的访客统计, I installed the flag counter on 12/27/2016. In 12 days my counter  registered  visitors from 14 countries with 420 different visitors. Of course, the fact I write my blog in English probably increase my flag and visitor count. Very gratifying. I wonder how long will it take for the counter to reach 30 (an ambitous but probably still realistic  goal).
