More than half a century ago, Lin Yingzi came to Beijing from Taiwan with her parents. They lived in a lane in the southern part of the city.
As a little girl from south of China, Lin Yingzi is curious about everything here: dilapidated city walls of the ancient capital, ringing of bells on a camel's neck, busy streets and side lanes... The mad woman at the door of a guild hall, her playmate Niuer who was mal-treated, the thief hiding himself in a deserted courtyard. Amah Song who was a wet nurse in her family and her loving father who was seriously ill and died in the end...all these people had either played, talked, laughed or lived with her. However, in one way or the other they had quietly left her one by one. Now they only live in her memory. Why is the world full of miseries? The naive girl Yingzi thinks hard but can not find the answer.
It is over fifty years since then. Yingzi is an old woman now. Though far away from Beijing, she never forgets this period in her life. Her heart is heavy and she is homesick again. |
