Memories of Old Peking portrays the adult world in Peking of
the 1930s as seen through the eyes of a little girl. The five
sequential stories in the book are well constructed in terms of
theme and character development and, as such, can be read as a
novel. 
　　 
　　The stories differ greatly from many other books on life in
China, whether they are about the olden times or the present day,
in that they do not dwell on politics, nor do they try to make any
statements regarding set beliefs of any kind. The stories are
simple and direct. Through the eyes and innocent mind of the child,
we are let into her world and her feeling and cannot but be
moved. 
　　 
　　The author is well known for her perception and humor, and both
these qualities inform her stories. The sense of loss and
bewilderment which arouses the child's awareness of the
uncertainties of human relationships, even of life itself, and
which finally catapults the child away from childhood joys into the
sorrows of the adult world is handled with great sensitivity and
lyricism.
