Remarks: Stories abound in Beijing. The stone bricks of the hutongs around drum tower coexist alongside the glittering glass walls of Sanlitun. The trees providing shade in Ditan Park and Tiantan Park remain in perfect harmony with the urban forests made up of skyscrapers in the CBD. The smell of burning incense wafting from Yonghe Lama Temple pervades the air amongst the fashionable and avant-garde artworks in the 798 art galleries. However, none of these is as wonderful as the people who tell their own stories of this city. I regard all friends I have met in Beijing as family.
