‘seasonal greetings’ from shanghai
The city was Shanghai. The street was Tibet Lu. The song was “Frosty the Snowman.”
The reaction was a shrug.
Nothing here surprises me anymore. Not even the fact that the most populous city in the world’s most atheist country seems to be so jazzed about the birth of Jesus Christ. Not even the fact that a street named after an autonomous region brimming with Buddhists was rocking out to a song about a jolly, happy — and very likely Christian — man made out of snow.
