Dearest Readers:
It is the holiday season here in Taiyuan, which means a “temporary” truce with the hated Japs, bonus rations of vinegar for the troops, and a plenty of extra performances for my favorite qinqiang opera troop. Tonight they are staging, at my request, a “mash-up” of The White-Haired Girl and A Christmas Carol.
