Zhang is such a pleasure to read — the best writer of xiaopin I know of. It’s kind of wild that there isn’t a full translation of Tao’an mengyi already.
This is so real. Where I jog, there are two karaoke blasters right next to each other by the side of the bay. A northern (Mandarin) and southern (Minnanhua) farrago is often heard.
It rarely silences the insects, and I’ve never been entranced by the last singer at 2am, but I assume that’s because of the lack of rakehells.
You're back!!!!
每逢佳節倍思親 <3
Oh, I love this!

sounds like someone could use some roustabouts, rapscallions, &c.!
