Pipa Player on Moon Stage by Chongqing Harbor

by Wayne Greene

Cool blue twilight settles over the Chongqing harbor as the city's first electric lights begin to flicker in the distance. A musician sits center stage on a crescent-shaped platform, fingers moving rapidly across the strings of a traditional pipa. The wooden instrument gleams under the soft ambient glow, its curved body against the dark water below. Reflections of the performer and the instrument stretch perfectly across the harbor's surface, creating a symmetrical mirror image. Lanterns dot the nearby promenade, casting small pools of warm amber light that compete gently with the dominant cool blue of the sky. The midsummer air holds a quiet stillness, visible in the glassy texture of the water and the sharp, unblinking clarity of the stars emerging above the clear horizon.
