As the Shanghainese novelist Eileen Chang wrote: "Shanghai thirty years ago on a moonlit night... maybe we did not get to seethe moon of thirty years ago. To young people the moon of thirty years ago should be a reddish yellow wet stain the size ofa copper coin, like at eardrop on letter paper by To-yun Hsuan, worn and blurred. In old people's memory the moon of thirty years ago was gay, larger, rounder, and whiter than the moon now. But seen after thirty years on a rough road, the best of moons is apt to be tinged with sadness."
