Reunion at Yangcheng Lake: Warmth and Delicacies

in CCS10 days ago (edited)

Some people bring joy just by sitting together. Xiao Huai traveled from Urumqi to Changshu, and my best friend returned from Melbourne to Changshu, crossing 10,000 and 20,000 kilometers to reunite. We explored Suzhou’s Yangcheng Lake in search of crabs, savoring hairy crabs while watching a beautiful sunset. It was a long-awaited reunion with old friends. In the afternoon, we gathered around the stove for tea, played cards, and chatted. In the evening, each of us enjoyed an authentic Yangcheng Lake hairy crab. The crab roe and crab paste were simply amazing. There was also the massive "Yangcheng Lake No. 1" crab, and everyone brought different types of wine, drinking until pleasantly tipsy. Meeting all of you is such a blessing.
