Peking, the capital of the People's Republic of China and the cultural centre of the world renown, has a history of 3000 years. Over the ages, the city has seen many changes. But none have equalled the vast transformation that has taken place in the last ten years since the victory of the Chinese people's revolution, a transformation that is still under way." (Chapter 1).
