Tips

culture
From Louis Sachar's 1998 novel 《洞》 (Holes) and the 2003 Disney film: a desert detention camp in Texas where boys are forced to dig holes every day in a dried-up lakebed, the warden's hunt for buried loot. The bone-dry irony is in the name itself: '绿湖' (green lake) for a place with neither water nor green.
