    EPIGRAPH: ACCORDING TO CHINESE LEGEND, AFFAIRS IN THE “OTHER WORLD” ARE MANAGED BY BUREAUS OR MINISTRIES. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT OF THESE IS THE MINISTRY OF THUNDER AND STORM, PRESIDED OVER BY THE MASTER OF RAIN. IN THE CLOSE, INTENSE HEAT OF THE SHANGHAI SUMMER, THE MASTER OF RAIN STANDS ABOVE THE DARK CLOUDS THAT HANG OVER THE CITY, BROODING UPON ITS FATE. THE RAIN IS IN HIS GIFT, AND THUS HE CONTROLS THE FERTILITY OF THE LAND AND THE PROSPERITY OF ITS INHABITANTS. HE IS AN OMNIPOTENT AND CAPRICIOUS BENEFACTOR—OR TORMENTOR.
