I feel very lucky to live in a hutong. Not many children around though.
Children playing in one of Beijing’s historic hutongs.

A monk reads sutras with a cat on his shoulder in Tibet.
Although animals cannot comprehend sutras, I do believe this would help with the cat's positive rebirth.

Just some of the 1900 sculptures in Xiaoxitian Thousand Buddha Temple. This site experienced a significant influx of tourism following the release of Black Myth: Wukong, which features this site.

Puyi and Wanrong in 1922, the year of their wedding.
Puyi was a big fan of everything western which shows in his many outfits.
He took on the English name "Henry," and Wanrong took on the English name "Elizabeth".

Puyi, the last emperor of China, is a fascinating figure who I will likely post about many times. Here he is talking with Edgar Snow in Beijing in the year 1960, less than 1 year after his release from the Fushun War Criminals Prison after a 10 year period of rehabilition.
