Of the thesis entitled: The Lady in Red: Spirit of the Historic Alleyways in the Ancient Capital
Abstract:
This is a record of a place in flux, the hutongs of Beijing. It is not a complete, measured, well-organized physical record, but a patchwork where the atmosphere and essence of place can be experienced. It is a journey of discovery. It is a document that, in the face of terms such as heritage and preservation, reminds us of the intangible beyond.
