How I yearn for thee.
The great era when the Chinaman was coolie…Hop Sing…and Charlie Chan.
Chinagirl was cigarette poster whore and lascivious sing-song lady to entertain me.
We can make these days happen again, no? Rent a ramshackle dump in what was once respectable. Put out my repro RCA gramophone.
Yearn…dream the China dream…
