Grungy and queer

and this too will be swept away

touch upon the nature of love

The Walls of Wuchang Gillian Clark Christopher Murray1926. Wuhan is in lockdown. Fourteen years ago, its heroes toppled Chinas last emperor, but at great cost. Patriots became politicians. Reformers became warlords. Now at Wuchang, the ancient walled city anchoring the metropolis to the Yangtze, they fight to the death. Former comrades and broken families watch each other through iron crosshairs. For Chiang Kaisheks unproven government forces camped outside, victory means a chance at national salvation.
