My Memories of Old Beijing

My Memories of Old Beijing (Chengnan Jiushi, 城南舊事) is an autobiographical novel by Lin Haiyin, first published in 1960.

Written in lively, evocative prose from the point of view of a precocious and impressionable young girl, the work records Lin's childhood memories of the city and the everyday people around her.

The novel consists of five "sections", or chapters: "Hui'an Guan" (惠安館), "We go to the sea" (我們看海去), "Aunt Lan" (蘭姨娘), "Ludagunr" (驢打滾兒)and "Dad's flower is falling" (爸爸的花兒落了).

In 1982, the novel was made into a feature film, directed by Mainland China director Wu Yigong.
