About this Event
Mr Ma and his son Ma Wei run an antiques shop tucked away in a quiet street by St Paul’s Cathedral. Far from their native Peking, they struggle to navigate the bustling London pavements and numerous social conventions. Inspired by the celebrated author’s time teaching at SOAS, and originally written for a Chinese readership, this is an eye-opening, moving, compelling and at times very funny portrait of a Chinese immigrant experience in 1920s London.
