"Mom, what brings you here?" Chen Qi was surprised.
It was the first time his parents had come to the Beijing Film Studio to find him.
"I came to tell you that your dad and I have finally found a suitable place for you. When you have time, come home, and we'll take you to see it."
"Finding a place can't wait! I have time now. Wait for me, I'll grab my bike!" He dashed back and soon returned, riding his old bicycle.
Yu Xiuli didn't waste any time either and immediately set off.
The Beijing Film Studio was located in the northern part of the city.
They headed south, passing through the universities in Haidian District, then turned east at the Second Ring Road, crossing Shichahai, and finally stopped at the southern bank of Shichahai.
From there, they entered a maze of alleyways.
Shichahai was a historic area where many famous figures had lived, including Zhang Zhidong, Feng Youlan, Wenxiu (Puyi's concubine), Guo Moruo, Marshal Hua, and Hou Baolin.
Old residents often reminisced about seeing Marshal Hua strolling by the lake.
As Chen Qi entered the alley, he first saw the famous "Baimi Xie Street" sign.
