The writing is penetrating, China has been five thousand years, and the time has been long. Fortunately, there are countless authors' records, otherwise these lively markets will disappear forever in the long river of history.
I live in Chaoyang District and get off at Dongdaqiao Metro Station when I go to work. The place names mentioned in the book occasionally have the right numbers, such as Dongdaqiao, Jintai Road... The few books I have read recently are all related to old Beijing, and I like them inexplicably, even though I am just a Beijing drifter.
This book contains stories about big houses and alleys in old Beijing. It breaks the mystery of big houses and allows people to understand the trivial details of the lives of those little-known parents. Although people in big houses do not work hard for life, their pursuit of the joy of living is jaw-dropping.
The language is exciting and engaging
Ye Guangqin's writing is like tea, the more you taste it, the more fragrant it becomes. The characters in the book have distinctive personalities and come to life.
Everyone is everyone, the language is concise, and it is heart-wrenching to watch.
The work is very touching and makes people want to read it in one sitting. There are also aftertaste. There are various situations in life. Some people are ordinary people, but they have nobility in their bones.
The past of old Beijing should only exist in stories. Today's international metropolis can no longer find the things of the past. There are only endless Internet celebrity attractions, tickets that cannot be grabbed, and snacks that have changed their taste. Thanks to the author for leaving a detailed written record, allowing those who once lived here to have vivid images, and allowing this prosperous city to retain more of its fireworks!
I like Ye Guangcen's books very much. Every detail is full of childishness, helplessness, sadness, and warmth. It makes people see another era.
It is people of that era and experience who can write such works. The wording is rigorous and serious, which is not the style and attitude of ordinary authors. The work expresses no trace of the sorrow of educated people.
It's beautiful, has characters, and has more content. Have life skills and have a better culture. Sometimes life is not just a breath, but a belief and foundation. What we are looking at is people, but actually the living method and detachment. Understand and understand, avoid mistakes, save and wake up, who knows that apart from princes and generals, there are no happy and happy people. People live in transparency. In the life of a person who does nothing, greed, ignorance, and anger cannot take hold.
Flexible, simple and smooth! Great book! Recommend!
Well written and beautiful.
Works of real writers rather than words written by internet writers
Chinese women should never put their fate in the hands of others again
Everyone's efforts are extraordinary. Highly recommended.
Human feelings, sophistication, look at the life of Beijingers.
I really like this kind of books and stories with historical charm, and I have a long aftertaste.
This book has the flavor of old Beijing. Mo Jiang is a character I like very much. Her tenacity and kindness are touching. The descriptions of life details in the book are very realistic, which made me feel the living conditions of people in that era. Through Mo Jiang's story, the author allows us to see the suffering and beauty in life, and it also makes me cherish my current life more.
Great writing👏🏻It's so rare to read such a good article in Tomato Novels
I feel that the author's writing is quite good. It makes me feel the good and bad of that era, and the characterization is also very full-not black and white. It is worth recommending.
I really like Ye Guangqin's books and writing style, they are true and profound [laughs]
I really like Teacher Ye's works, they have a unique flavor.
Understanding history and folklore starts with this book.
As time goes by, extraordinary stories reflect extraordinary lives
Things about old Beijing, discussed thoroughly, looking back at history, comparing with the present, two words - happiness [OK][OK][OK]
It's great. I've read all four of the author's books. They are very engaging and rich in content.
The collision of different elements makes this novel a blend of classical and modern, ideal and reality, aristocrats and commoners, etc. It's very good~
Awesome, the delicacy, warmth and sensitivity of female writers are vividly displayed!
A series of short and concise articles, telling interesting things from all over the world.
