Because I live in Beijing, I wanted to see this old Beijing city.

The opening article and a few short stories saw the difficult but affectionate life of the lower-class people in Beijing in the twenties and thirties of the last century. It's hard to tell, and the picture in my mind seems to stay in the movie "Old Things in the South of the City" when I was a child.

Because I jumped to read it, I directly saw a few reminiscence articles written in his later years. In the past, I only knew that Xiao Qian was a literary master, but I didn't know much about anything else. Through his memories, especially the experience of the ten years after liberation, we can see that he is open-minded by nature, loves and hates clearly, and always maintains a humble nature.
