The signs of the old Beijing disappear daily as the last remnants of the traditional houses and neighborhoods are scraped away to make room for high-rise apartment homes. One stanza of the poem from the new book, 10 Stories Down, states:

The houtong, we call them ghetto, 
but there are no fences.
This is not the Beijing of outsiders.
This is the phoenix’s lair from which life springs.
