I assumed they were Chinese for those names. Did I miss something?
No, you didn't miss anything. I just loved the Chinese names had been picked up by the (presumably) English speakers, and then worn down slightly. I like that kind of thing (like the whole of Riddley Walker).
Ooh, that opera does look interesting... wonder if I dare download the mp3s?
