It is an old saying and generally true in the northern hemisphere where this English-language saying originated and weather patterns typically travel from west to east. Stormy skies are more red than usual at sunrise and sunset. So if I was sailing from America to England, west to east with the prevailing wind, and saw a red sunrise, a “red sky in the morning,” I could expect that storm to travel towards me and I towards it since the sun rises in the east.

FYI - Apparently they’re traditional Chinese characters for “tears” (top) and “city” (bottom).

I didn’t see any translations here so I plugged this into Google Translate.

I would also be concerned. Add that most plastic doesn't magically shrink when heat is applied; like that bottle does.

There's a reason I don't use short form content for educational purposes... F that.
