Reseña del editor:
Based on first-hand experience, this entrancing narrative of daily life in Peking in the first decades of this century makes vivid the milieu of a fictional family--the traditionally-minded, lower middle- class family of Wu. The author uses experiences of the Wu family's son from birth to marriage to convey in rich detail a vanished way of life, including children's games, nursery rhymes, and education; flowers and foods; street entertainers, folk amusements, and acrobatics; religions; jokes and poems; and a great deal more.
Originally published in 1983.

Descripción Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Cloth, 1983, xxii, 491pp. This one-volume edition is a facsimile of the original 2 volume work published by The Peking Chronicle Press in 1940 and 1941. The paginagion is identical to that of the original edition. Originally a series of articles published in The Peking Chronicle telling the story of a Chinese boy called Wu. The articles began with his birth in Peking early in the 20th century and ended with his marriage. The charm of the storytelling is given added importance because in narrating Wu's life the author also provided a great deal of information about day to day life in Old Peking: the city's festivals, the foods that were eaten, the games that were played, the teahouses, fairs, temples and so on.
