摘要

【正】 There is a delicious irony of buy ing Christmas decorations in the Western world with the tag, "Made in China," and then being present for the holiday in the land where they’re manufactured. They seemed oddly out of place on the store shelves in Beijing, but not in my apartment. Chinese New Year is celebrated and recognised globally by everyone, including me. But, a Chinese Christmas - well, that was something else to be reckoned with.
