The book Old Things in the South of the City tells the story of a girl named Eiko who came to live in Beijing.

In the book, I think Eiko is very brave, curious, smart and naive. The most impressive passage is Hui An Ting, because it shows the bravery of Eiko and how great Xiuzhen's maternal love is. All this surprised me very much. I thought: If I disappear, will my mother be like Xiuzhen?

The students in "Look at the Sea" made me realize the hardships of that era.

When reading this book, I saw Lin Haiying's beautiful and vivid writing style. Through the story of her childhood, she wrote "Old Things in the South of the City", telling the scenery of Beijing in her childhood.

I like the old things in the south of the city because it tells me the story of a famous female writer.
