I'm embarrassed to admit that I follow a teenage, Taiwanese girl named Wei Han Xu. The girl, also known as Weiwei, exploded on the scene in 2014, when pictures of her in her McDonald's uniform went viral. The impossibly adorable fast food worker was first noticed by customers and local media, and her fame quickly spread. Weiwei has her own website, posts regularly on Facebook, and is active on Instagram and Twitter. She is a typically cute schoolgirl, and it's hilarious to follow her antics. It also provides a unique insight into another culture.
Today is Chinese New Year. Weiwei posted a picture of her and her mom at a New Year's dinner celebration. Her posts appear in Chinese, and the translations are rough. But when I saw this one, I was struck with it's inherent poetry. It's not quite Haiku, but it's still beautiful in its own way. So on behalf of Weiwei and her American fan, Happy Year of the Monkey.
No big fish big meat
I should be enough for you
After work indeed fortunate
Two of the world
Our New Year's Eve dinner
