Hello little plumblossom.

Liked your book, I used it as a guide to Dashilan!

China/Beijing is definately misunderstood by a lot of the west. I think your book will help educate us.

I read the book a few months ago and found it to be very moving and honest account of Mike's view of life in a Hutong and how that is important to preserving traditions. Those traditions however are under threat of extinction as China's obsession with "everything new" grows at an ever increasing pace. Also gives very good insights in to the Chinese culture. Respect to you Sir (Mike that is!); its a sterling job you have done.

英国肥佬怎么又跑这现来了,居然敢称自己是喜剧演员,他以为,最 可乐的玩笑就是管陌生人叫鸡是吧。
最讨厌英国式的刻薄,让人浑身不舒服。
希望Michael Meyer的关于北京的著作顺利出版,有人知道他的性取向吗?

my fav was after the British comedian said "the night is young" the old lady used Chinese and said "uagh, you're an old man already" , then she point to Mike and said "he should be married too" but the conversation was cutted off so it wasn't translated
