I was watching a television series with someone while sitting on the grass during a sunny afternoon. They asked me what the various Chinese characters that showed up throughout were and I had to admit that I didn’t know some of them. They continued talking about how they personally knew the producer of the show and met in person a few times.

A third person walked up to us and asked if it was alright to join. After yielding a seat, she pointed at something in the grass commenting, “how interesting.” I couldn’t tell what she was pointing at so I assumed she was talking about the white and black tufts of grass that were sprouting around the side of the pavement. It turns out she was looking at a wooden skewer that had a message scrawled onto it in red pen.
