Meyer's writing brings 2.          back to the old days of Beijing. In 2005,Meyer moved 3.        a home with a shared yard in one of Beijing's oldest neighbourhoods. There he 4.         

English at a local school and lived among local people. He knew more about Beijing by getting

5.          to the local culture, especially hutong.

Meyer saw great changes in the neighbourhood.The old houses made way for high buildings,shopping malls and 6.           symbols of modern life. However, in the face of rapid changes,some parts of old Beijing's culture stayed strong. People 7.         kept traditions like hanging fu and Spring Festival couplets. Meyer showed us how these traditional customs helped people hold onto their 8.            as old buildings disappeared around them.

  The Last Days of Old Beijing showed new sides of the city. 9.              touching it is

when those small details of daily life in the old neighbourhoods came to me! It made me think about how we can keep our traditions 10.          while also moving forward with changes.
