Attires for the new year of 2024 and 2025. Nothing special for 2026.

My essay “Genuine Country Folk” translated by Ana P. Fornieles will be published by Shanghai Literary Review. If you’re weary of “forty years of electric life and twenty years of electronic life in China”(in my words) , you’d like to step back and explore what came before.

Ha, good point. Here’s the good old hard Bell Tower of Beijing.

[Kaiser Kuo @KaiserKuo]

It's a fight I'll never win, but fuck it: "Beijing" is not pronounced "Bay-zheeng" with that soft, vaguely French consonant. It's pronounced just like aging, paging, raging, and waging, but with a B. The J is like jingle bells, jingoism. Good old hard J.

Here’s the poem “Crying in a Public Restroom” published last year in Mingled Voices 8 by Proverse HK.

@nine_pens @PoetBex @deborahfinding Twice I read the title as “Virgil for the Dead and Dying Girls”, and I was like “What an interesting story! Wish I had made a poem for that!”
