Features: This is a return to old Kunming. When you step into this weathered old city, it means encounters, coincidences, extraordinary opportunities, and unexpected rewards. The old city once again reveals its former simplicity and prosperity, tranquility and bustle, beauty and vicissitudes. This book contains historical content but is not merely a reprocessing of historical records or a trivial imitation. Within its rare folk sentiment lies the echo of rich history and the swaying, vivid details; it combines deeply emotional personal memories and narratives with grand, bustling scenes. The colorful, fleeting years are steeped in the strong sense of time in old Kunming. Another feature of this book is its illustrations. The photographs in the book are frozen moments of old Kunming, giving history a visual dimension. From these black-and-white photos, I see the years passed by our ancestors.
