Postcard from Suzhou, China ...























Many thanks Xu Wei for this very nice postcard, sent from Old Post Office (老年邮局), in Suzhou, China, on Mid-Autumn Festival ;-))) The special postmark (中秋节连体戳) of Mid-Autumn Festival from Old Post Office was fantastic as it came with a Chinese poem, written by Wen Zheng Ming (1470-1559, Ming Dynasty). I'm really interested to know how does the Old Post Office in Suzhou look like ...


横笛何人夜倚楼,小庭月色正中秋。
凉风吹堕双桐影,遍地碧阴如水流。

——— 明•文征明《中秋》
