For two years before and after the 1948 Communist Revolution, David Kidd lived in Peking, where he married the daughter of an aristocratic Chinese family. "I used to hope," he writes, "that some bright young scholar on a research grant would write about us and our Chinese friends before it was too late and we were all dead and gone, folding into the darkness the wonder that had been our lives." Here Kidd himself brings that wonder to life.

還是挺還原風貌的

作为美国人可以在1947-1950年间在北京呆过，确实是一段非同寻常的经历，作为一个外人见证了北京解放前和解放后的社会变迁。更加不同寻常的是他娶了大户人家的中国太太。80年代再次回到北京，看到巨大的变迁后，他体会到的更多是悲伤吧。
