Features: Liu Yida is a renowned "Hutong Reporter." His book Roots of the Hutong vividly depicts a group of "Class of '70" individuals who lived in hutongs, emphasizing their fates and their struggles against destiny. It can be said to be a portrayal of various life scenes and worldly sentiments. To savor its essence is like "sitting on a long bench, listening to the wind turning the windmill with a rushing sound, eating jiāoquan and drinking douzhi, accompanied by finely shredded water dumpling strips."
