The Chinese translation of “The Last Days of Old Beijing” is finished, and the manuscript is now in the hands of the censor. The book is scheduled to be published on the Mainland in May by Shanghai Translation Press, and in Taiwan/Hong Kong by Walker/Gusa. I am thrilled by the houses, by the translator’s work (He Yujia, my best student at the University of Hong Kong), and the fact that this book will be read by the people it’s about. A book tour is scheduled at the release; I’ll post cities and dates soon.
