The smell of chilli and sewage in the winding alleys augurs rain. Dongshan will flood again.
The rim of the luoguo hot plate brings pain. The pat on a stray cat’s little head - joy.
The taste of bean hotpot is never quite the same without putting exactly two pieces of fermented bean curd in the sauce bowl.

If this is the way to solve her great mystery, then it must be done. The city must be dissected.
