The Fairy Tale in Hutong
The book got 9.5 points out of 10 on Douban, a Chinese popular review site, and five stars on Amazon with its amazing water color paintings of Beijing. Life in a hutong was illustrated with smooth lines and bright colors. It tells a story about wishes and hopes shared by three generations of people, which conveys a message that love will be eternal despite the changing outside world.
"The book bears a style that all Chinese picture books should have, and we still have our dreams and hopes," user MuzijiadexiaoVV commented on Amazon.
