star light, star bright, first star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight. This simple childrens rhyme is always the first thing that pops into my head - whenever i see a visual representation of "the communist state" (the irony is very strong for me.) such as this one in Huaihua, above an entry to a "revolutionary headquaters" probably built circa the 1949 revolution.
