Putian; Sea Gods, Sneaker Jokes and a City Shifting Gears

Frank Hossack -
Salt reaches Putian before the arguments do. On Meizhou, the ferries bring pilgrims, tourists and family groups in the same tide; back on the mainland, the air changes into factory dust and rubber. The city has lived with both...
