Features: This book combines the essence of "history" without merely processing historical texts or engaging in trivial imitation. Within its rare and precious folk sentiment lies the echo of rich history and vivid, fleshed-out details. It features both deeply emotional personal memories and private narratives, as well as grand, bustling scenes with many voices. The colorful and fleeting years are imbued with the strong sense of time in old Kunming. Another feature of this book is its rich illustrations. The photographs in the book capture old Kunming, giving history a visual dimension. From these black-and-white photos, I see the years passed by our ancestors.
