Yesterday at the large Baolong City Plaza shopping mall in Fuzhou, Fujian province, I stopped to admire a karaoke club advertisement which included a slightly altered Statue of Liberty.
I then walked into a central courtyard area where a guitarist was either warming up or testing the equipment for a later performance.
As I made my way to lower levels, I realized the melody I heard was rather familiar. But simply recognizing it is not what caused me to do a mental double take.
After all, most days in China you don't hear a live performance of The Star Spangled Banner.
