One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I grew up in a traditional courtyard (四合院) near Houhai (后海) and lived there until I was junior high. It was once a quiet area and I still have a vivid memory of those days biking along the river band, with gentle breeze flying through my hair and warm sunshine kissing my face. That is the image of Beijing always imprinted on my heart.
