Based on first-hand experience, this entrancing narrative of daily
life in Peking in the first decades of this century makes vivid the
milieu of a fictional family--the traditionally-minded, lower
middle- class family of Wu. The author uses experiences of the Wu
family's son from birth to marriage to convey in rich detail a
vanished way of life, including children's games, nursery rhymes,
and education; flowers and foods; street entertainers, folk
amusements, and acrobatics; religions; jokes and poems; and a great
deal more. Originally published in 1983. The Princeton Legacy
Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make
available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
