If one's Chinese friends ever discover that one lived in a socialist country
they always forewarn one never to use the Chinese equivalent of the very
common word "comrade" - Tong Zhi, in its original meaning, because nowadays
it is used almost exclusively to describe gays. I saw that cake - these are
the right characters... So I wonder - since this is a new cake - what does
it name mean - an Old Comrade or an Old Fairy?
