introduction 简介 When I visit Beijing, I usually end up in Zhongguancun or Wudaokou because I am visiting Peking University or one of the other institutions up in Zhongguancun. I take pictures when I walk around at night. Sometimes if I have more free time I go to Nanluoguxiang or Houhai. As a result, my best pictures are night scenes from those locations. 我驻足北京时候，一般说住在中关村或五道口，因为要访问北大或其他学校. 到晚上喜欢散散步拍夜景．偶尔去南锣鼓巷或后海走一走．因此，我较好的照片大多数是在这几个点拍的． Until about 2008, Beijing was the city in China that I visited most. I first visited Beijing in 1987, when I was an undergraduate and spent the summer at Peking University. I then spent several more months there in the first half of 1990. After a long hiatus, I began visiting regularly again in 1999. The city has been transformed completely in the time since I first visited, yet I still find it the most interesting and enjoyable place in China. 此1987至2008，我经常驻足了北京出差. 第一次，1987, 我还在念本科.本科毕业了以后，1990住了半年. 1993年待了三个月. 此1999年至2008年，每年跑了几趟. 最近少了一些. One of my regrets is that during my initial visits to Beijing, I didn't really take many photographs. The city that existed then is now gone, and I don't have anything except memories. Now when I am there, I make a point of spending my free evenings taking pictures in various neighborhoods to preserve some feeling of the city as it is right now, on the assumption that it will change again soon. I don't have much in the way of opportunities to shoot during the day because I am usually busy. Also, I find shooting at night more interesting because of the colors and the lighting. 很遗憾我2004年以前很少在北京拍照. 最近二十年的变化很大，发展很快，生活条件改善了很多，可惜没有我早期旅游的主体记载，无法给朋友，亲戚说明北京80年代的情况，只有我的回想. 因此，我最近几年每次驻足中国，我带相机，晚上走走拍照，希望能把一些景记下来，因为二十年后，又会变化. 我照片大部分是夜景因为我在中国时候，我晚上比较有空. 白天开会. 还好，到晚上不必应酬,可以随便在外面走.
