The Chinese smog Charles encounters upon his arrival is symbolic of every expectation Charles Wang has had, turned on its head. For his entire life, he has envisioned a China that is pastoral and almost magical in nature, but when he actually encounters the reality of China it is through the lung-choking smog brought on by industrialization.
