Fly away on my zephyr
I feel it more than ever
And in this perfect weather
We’ll find a place together
Fly on my wind
I feel it more than ever
And in this perfect weather
We’ll find a place together
Fly on my wind
-Red Hot Chili Peppers
Beijing experienced a pleasant autumn this year. Every few
days, the breezes would blow through the streets, along the hutongs, polluted
canals, and up into the sky chasing the grey smog away. Sometimes the breeze
was gentle and soothing. Sometimes the wind was fierce and unpleasant. But
Beijingers do not mind a few days of blustery weather. That blustery weather
augured at least a few days of crisp air and blue skies.
This time last year, winter had already arrived with an
early November snow storm (see Winter Wooskie). The heavy snow choked the glory
of the newly turned yellow leaves. The fragile leaves heaved under the weight and
fell too early, leaving the trees naked.
But this year, thankfully, winter slept in and let autumn
enter and exit with grace.
