What economy of expression in the poem!  This must be a feature of Chinese poetry?  I want to learn more!  Are the poems meant to be read in Mandarin only?  And Pete, I loved the insight into Chinses culture.

 

To me as a transplanted Californian, the sight of geese in the autumn in upstate New York is literally chilling!  The long, grim winter is ahead.

你好 wjeffereys,

谢谢你 我回写中文!

 

Thank you -- now I can start trying to write Chinese; I always wondered how it was done.

This is the most wonderful discussion!  I can't wait to try Vann000's recipe, the modified version with olive oil.  Although even with a free-range chicken I bet it won't taste as good as the chickens in Hainan.
