I do hope that will be an English term being the counterpart of "freezing cold" to express the hot summer in Hangzhou - maybe somewhere it is "frying hot" or so. But I do awear the notorious "dog days". Despite the overwhelming heating waves, it is a nice experience that I can indulge myself in the beatiful sunset on the Qiantang River while riding back from work. It seems that people feel the same. All walks of people, along the riverbank, are dring in and taken away by the beauty of the river view.

       I've always been believing that the very beauty of nature comes in dawn and twilight when big transition is taking place. While the first sun rays give people hope and aspiration, the last sun rays reminds people how to treasure the good thing that is ticking away.
