About My Memories of Old Beijing
It is the late 1920s when six-year-old Yingzi and her family move to Beijing. As Yingzi explores the busy streets and alleys, she befriends a widow who, driven mad by grief, stands vigil at the entrance of her hutong, waiting for her missing daughter to return.
Directed by Wu Yigong, My Memories of Old Beijing leans on a strong ensemble — Shen Jie, Zhang Fengyi, Zheng Zhenyao — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1983.
