My Memories of old Beijing is a feature film based on Lin Haiyin's novel of the same name and directed by Wu Yigong.
The film shows the society and the miserable life of the people in the 1920s in Beijing through the eyes of a naive girl. The film is uniquely arranged. Instead of organizing the plot with a beginning, development, climax, and conclusion, it features a keynote of sorrows and yearning for the past and a string－styled plot that links three separate stories.
Like a multi－faceted mirror, it reflects the historical scenes from different angles. The film has a prose－like style, with the content centering on the characters' psychology and supplemented with music； an artistic form of expression featuring a gentle rhythm, symbolism, implication, comparison, and repetition； and a tranquil, concise conception similar to a Chinese wash drawing. In 1983, the film won the Best Director Prize at the Third Golden Rooster Awards and the Best Feature Film Golden Eagle Prize at the Manila International Film Festival.
