Old Wuhan Cong Tan
by Xu Mingting
About This Novel
A city needs to have its own folk memory, recording the birth and growth of the city, luck and disaster, laughter and tears; recording the changes in the streets, festivals and customs; recording the anecdotes of past celebrities and the warm and interesting stories of ordinary people; recording the endlessly memorable famous snack shops and scenic gardens, as well as the poems and songs of poets and literati. Since most of this kind of folk memory was personally experienced by the author, embodying personal feelings, cordial and vivid, it cannot be replaced by official historical records. Over time, the accumulation of memories may become a part of urban culture. Whether a city has a rich cultural heritage is often closely related to whether its folk memory is long and rich. "Old Wuhan Series" introduces the origins and anecdotes of eating, drinking and having fun in old Wuhan.
