How many of you remember your favorite childhood movies? Isn’t it true that those old movies and so<\/em>ngs remind you of the old good times that you had? \u57ce\u5357\u65e7\u4e8b chéng nán jiùshì (My Memories of Old Beijing) was one of my favorite movies though I couldn’t fully understand all the spirit of the movie at that time.<\/p>\n

\u57ce\u5357\u65e7\u4e8b chéng nán jiùshì was the memoir of Taiwanese writer \u6797\u6d77\u97f3 lín h\u01cei y\u012bn’s childhood life in Beijing. The book was published in 1960 and a movie adaptation was done in 1984.<\/p>\n

Two things that I’m sure to remember for the rest of my life a<\/em>bout the movie are the face of little \u82f1\u5b50 y\u012bng z\u01d0 and the theme song that is so unforgettable. Overall, it would have been a pleasant movie if it had not related the fate of \u79c0\u8d1e xiù zh\u0113n and her daughter, who were both killed by a passing train. That scared me quite a bit while watching since I couldn’t understand why such terrible thing could have happened to them.<\/p>\n

Nowadays, an excerpt from chapter \u7238\u7238\u7684\u82b1\u513f\u8c22\u4e86 bàba de hu\u0101’ér xiè le in the book has been edited into Elementary Chinese textbooks.<\/p>\n

To this post, I added a video that captures some scenes of the 1984 version movie with its theme song \u9001\u522b sòngbié, playing in the background. It does bring back some old memories for me. Hope the song can bring some for you too. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Farewell<\/p>\n

Song in My Memories of Old Beijing (Shanghai Films Studio, 1982)
Translated by Feng Yuan<\/p>\n

Out-side the road shelter by the ancient trail,
Grasses are green and wild.<\/p>\n

Willows are waving with lingering flute,
The sun’s setting down the hill.<\/p>\n

To the ends of the earth,
Gone are the friends and acquaintances.<\/p>\n

Take a cup of farewell with kind wishes,
Leaves the heart with cold dreams.<\/p>\n

Out-side the road shelter by the ancient trail,
Grasses are green and wild.<\/p>\n

Hope you come back when it’s convenient,
Don’t hesitate to return.<\/p>\n

To the ends of the earth,
Gone are the friends and acquaintances.
Always remember the happy together
When you are far away.
