Your webpage is quite nice.

It seems that the answer to whether the meteors we saw came from different
revolutions might be derived quite precisely from the photographic and vedio
multi-station observations during the expeditions. I can not help but
thinking how the final result will look like.

I was thinking about observe 2002 Leonids somewhere in US. However, from
your statement, perhaps I should think about staying in China for that? :-)

Clear skies for the Geminids.
