The Door Door by John Pasden in language 14 Apr 2020 Well, this one’s a little on the nose: Photo taken in Shanghai by John Pasden The character there is 門 (mén), a traditional character. It is written 门 in simplified Chinese. It means “door” or “gate.” I’m curious what the story is behind this door. And why no 窗 (chuāng) windows??

One day the door will open. Hard to see in the photo, but is the name of the place – 讲究 – translated as Mr. Sharp – good one.
Nice catch!
Also why is there a giant QR code next to it?
Not sure… I didn’t scan.
So did you find out? Don’t keep us in suspense!
It should be easy to scan the QR code from the picture — I tried two different apps on my Mac and got nothing meaningful — I got “http://weixin.qq.com/r/4kP17WLEGD9nrSaO9xbw”, but it goes just to wechat.
