As you sip, I'd like you to meet Lawrence Pun. (The website's in Chinese, I know. And I'm ashamed to say I can't read a word of it, but you might be able to.) Lawrence is a gentle, charming man who lives in Hong Kong. His love story is as deft and delicate as the sulphur butterfly it features. And as tough as the child who dismembers insects out of ferocious curiosity.

I am so excited to read Lawrence's story! (I hope it's translated?) I have been to Hong Kong; it was a place that "woke me" from a deep sleep. Parts of me are still "awake" from that trip.

Interesting, isn't it, how some places have that 'wake-up' effect. For me, Fiji was the first. Not an intellectual awakening, something more basic, but potent And yes, fear not, Lawrence's story is in English. I think you'll like it.
I recognise that cup. So pleased that it still holds tea. And now it has a digital life, too. Ceci n'est pas une tasse.
C'est un demi coude en U.
