Weng had never been to Ningbo, but had seen it on the news
when the twenty-two-mile-long Hangzhou Bay Bridge was
first opened to the public.
The news team had been reporting from the middle of the
bridge at a service center called
THE LAND BETWEEN SEA AND SKY.
Weng had also seen a history program on Ningbo,
and knew there had once been two lakes inside the city,
but only Moon Lake remained,
and Weng imagined people going there at night
to see their faces change in the water.
