Memories of Old Villages

Chi Zongping

34K0

This book is a collection of essays, including images and neighbors. It tells about the corner of Shaanxi where the author lived when he was a child, including folk customs such as cave dwellings, wheat fields, waterlogged ponds, hot kangs, ravines, old ladies with small feet, running water mats, open-air movies, Qin opera, shadow puppets, social fires, bellows, and stove firesides. In my memory, I remember the voices and smiles of the ordinary and great, small and tenacious villagers.
