Liu Guangzu
hurries home, handlebar in
one hand,
the other clutching a box
of takeaway
Canadian food – hot, delicately
spiced and
tasting like nothing so much as
the
pristine air of the Yukon, with hints
of caribou
breath, pine and Aurora Borealis.
As always,
Liu’s family will linger over the
aroma of
the great white north, but for sure
they’ll be
hungry again in an hour or so.
