The Auspicious Time is a novel focusing on life in Beijing before and after the founding of New China, observing the earthshaking changes around them from the perspective of a child named Auspicious. It is a children's novel with deep Beijing charm and Chinese feelings. With restrained and peaceful brushstrokes and poetic and tender narratives, the childhood stories in the old Beijing hutongs and courtyards are like live dramas, which are presented to contemporary children through the dust of history.
