We are praying for a boy,’ says Petrus. ‘Always it is best if the first one is a boy. Then he can show his sisters – show them how to behave. Yes.’ He pauses. ‘A girl is very expensive.’ He rubs thumb and forefinger together. ‘Always money, money, money.’

《The Big Sleep长眠不醒（英文原版）》 — [美]雷蒙德·钱德勒
访宣南重话“戊戌政变” 从前，城墙尚未拆掉的时候，北京城包括内外城两个部分。 内城是明初永乐帝朱棣在元大都的基础上改造而成的，以皇宫为中轴，将城区分成东、西两半，也就是现在地铁环线所包围的整个区域。到了清朝，旗人全住内城，王公贵族的府邸自然也就建在内城里。外城紧挨着内城的南部城墙，修筑于明嘉靖年间（1553年前后）。由于是新城区，商业区和各种娱乐业、餐饮业在前门一带有较大的发展。居民住宅则集中在靠近前门和宣武门、崇文门一带。因此，历史上北京有“东富西贵，南城禽鱼花鸟，中城珠玉锦绣”的说法，不是后来人敷衍出来的“东富西贵，南贫北贱”，更不是现在某些北京人津津乐道的所谓自古以来南城“风水不好”云云。 清代汉族官员和士大夫大多住在外城，尤其住在宣武门以南一带区域。

《Things in Nature Merely Grow》 — Yiyun Li
Had I asked James the same question, I suspect he would have said yes. James would’ve called life “perfectly livable” just as he called the mediocre cafeteria food “perfectly eatable.
