About the Author
Wang Miao is a celebrated Chinese author renowned for his evocative portrayals of Beijing's cultural heritage and the joys of childhood in the capital.

His works capture the essence of a bygone era, blending nostalgia with humor and warmth to paint vivid pictures of family life, street festivals, and the simple pleasures of youth amid China's rapid transformations. Through his storytelling, Wang Miao preserves the timeless spirit of Beijing, offering readers a heartfelt window into a world where peace and prosperity, or 'tian xia tai ping,' reign in the everyday moments of childhood innocence.
