New Life Under Zhengyangmen

In Peiping in the 1970s, under the planned economy system, grain, oil, cloth and stamps were still necessities of life, and state-owned units such as steel rolling mills and cotton spinning mills were the main livelihood of urban residents. Siheyuan is a typical residence in old Peiping. Neighbors always look down and see each other. There is not only the warmth of helping each other, but also the disputes between parents and the calculation of interests.
