♦ Y is for #Yixing … (Uh … Who?) (4/10)

Almost 30 years ago, when I lived and worked in Miami, Florida, my co-worker and friend said that for her vacation she was going back home to visit her parents.  Where is home?  Home for her was China.  She asked if I wanted her to bring me back anything.  I said “Uuuh??? … Music!”  She brought me back 2 cassette tapes.  One was traditional Chinese music and the other, she said, was a popular singer in China, at that time.  His music was more modern, i.e. pop music.  We have relocated several times and those tapes got lost in all the moves.  Searching for tweets with the letter “Y” I found that this word “Yixing” had almost 200 tweets per hour.  Turns out this guy, Zhang Yixing, is a popular Chinese singer-songwriter, at this time.
