Hutong Kite

Topic

Hutongs are an important historical and cultural symbol of the ancient capital Beijing; while the hutongs today are a microcosm of China's ongoing modernization. The "Hutongs" video series focuses on the intimacies of life in these old Beijing streets, including the plants, cats, transport, and courtyards, and the people connecting them all together.
