I was born and raised in Beijing, as matter of fact, in the very apartment I am renting out.
Because this apartment is situated in a western style villa, I had a lot more space and friends when I grew up compared to many kids grew up in typical Chinese courtyard. I still have fond memories of the games we used to play in the green and spacious courtyards. We used to chase each other on top of the brick walls and climb the trees.
Now we have all grown up and left the villa. We only come back to visit once a while. The villa has far less kids nowadays.
Eventually I left home too. After college, I went to the United States for graduate school and settled there.
