In nineteenth-century China, when wives and daughters were foot-bound and lived in almost total seclusion, the women in one remote Hunan county developed their own secret code for communication: nu shu (“women’s writing”). Some girls were paired with laotongs, “old sames,” in emotional matches that lasted throughout their lives. They painted letters on fans, embroidered messages on handkerchiefs, and composed stories, thereby reaching out of their isolation to share their hopes, dreams, and accomplishments. With the arrival of a silk fan on which Snow Flower has composed for Lily a poem of introduction in nu shu, their friendship is sealed and they become “old sames” at the tender age of seven. As the years pass, through famine and rebellion, they reflect upon their arranged marriages, loneliness, and the joys and tragedies of motherhood. The two find solace, developing a bond that keeps their spirits alive. But when a misunderstanding arises, their lifelong friendship suddenly threatens to tear apart |

Our next Garden Group day will be visiting:
Paddington Reservoir Garden The Paddington Reservoir was built in 1866 and served as part of Sydney’s water supply until 1899. It was then used by the Water Board, to house a garage and workshop from 1914 to 1934. A grassed park was added to the roof after the Paddington Municipal Council bought the Reservoir in 1934. It continued on with the Water Board leasing it as a workshop until the 1950’s and a leased service station operated until 1990 when the roof collapsed. A further roof collapse occurred in 1993. Refer to the photos for what it used to be. |
