The first piece of literature I had to learn in my middle school literature class was “Jianjia” from the Classic of Poetry: “Jianjia, so hoary, so gray / White dew as frost.” Unfortunately, there isn’t much white dew in Hong Kong normally, so we can only go look for the reed.

中學時文學課第一篇學的文章,就是《詩經》的《蒹葭》。「蒹葭蒼蒼,白露為霜。」可惜在香港,白露不太常見,那只好去找蘆葦好了。
