In Chinese, there’s “kinda” 3 out of the 4 directions for melons:
- 东瓜 (dōng guā) - East Melon - Winter Melon
- 西瓜 (xī guā) - West Melon - Watermelon
- 南瓜 (nán guā) - South Melon - Pumpkin (although it doesn’t necessarily refer to south)
and there is no 北瓜 (běi guā) - North Melon (at least not to my knowledge)
Let’s not forget the one thing that remained inside: hope.
Although there’s multiple interpretations to this meaning. I want to be an optimist.
