Memories of Peking: South Side Stories, an Audiobook in Chinese.
Author: Lin Haiyin.

Lin Haiyin (Chinese: 林海音; March 18, 1918 – December 1, 2001) was a Taiwanese writer of Han Chinese ethnicity. She is best known for her 1960 book My Memories of Old Beijing (城南舊事, Memories of Peking: South Side Stories), a novelistic tribute to her childhood reminiscences of Beijing.

Lin was born in Osaka, Japan, where her father (of Jiaoling, Guangdong origin) worked as a merchant. Lins parents moved first to Taiwan, before settling in Beijing when she was 5. She spent her next 25 years there. In Beijing (later Beiping), Lin graduated from the News and Broadcast Institute and became a journalist for Shijie Ribao ("World News Daily").

In 1948, Lin moved with her husband and family to Taiwan, where she became the editor of several important literary periodicals and newspapers, including the literary section of the United Daily News and The Literary Monthly, before eventually establishing her own publishing house. She would reside in Taiwan for the rest of her life.
Altogether, she published some 18 books, including novels, short story collections, radio drama and childrens literature, many of which deal with the feminine experience. Her most famous book remains My Memories of Old Beijing (1960). In it, Lin records in lively, evocative, first-person prose her childhood memories, ending with the death of her father, from the eyes of a precocious, impressionable young girl.
