Shen Hanqian played until she collapsed with exhaustion and fell directly into slumber.
It was not until nightfall, when the stars in the sky began to twinkle, that she found the strength to get up!
Soon, a Filipino maid came in, holding a paper box containing a black evening gown!
The maid spoke in English, "Madam, this is the evening gown prepared for you by the sir; he is currently waiting for you downstairs!"
Shen Hanqian had a moment of disorientation. Was this a characteristic of a capitalist country? The maids wore navy-blue dresses and white hats on their heads. They were also adorned with white lace aprons and wore white socks with blue leather shoes on their feet!
Dizzy, Shen Hanqian felt like she had walked into an old Hollywood movie!
She replied in English, "OK, I'll get up right now!"
"The bath water is already prepared," the maid added!
