A torrential rainstorm in the depths of winter, 2000. Half the sky was gray-black, the other half a vivid pink.
The evening breeze carried the damp scent of West Lake.
High schools across Hangzhou had let out for the day.

The radio in the shop crackled in and out,
playing "Lovely Woman" from Jay Chou's newly released debut album.
