Geocities! Mailing lists! Ah, those were the days. :-) I love how Guardian is bringing together fans from all ages of fandom!
I am so overwhelmed by all the amazing Guardian content
Me too! Truly an embarrassment of riches. So thank you for linking to that meta discussion about food, which is lovely to read. It is exactly the way I interpreted this scene, but the cultural context makes it so much more weighty and deliberate!
(Also, I am choosing to interpret the fact that both Zhao Yunlan and Da Qing sit on the table like cats to mean that Da Qing had a hand in Zhao Yunlan's upbringing...)
