Liao says that the influence of famous Chinese novelist and dramatist Lao She is the main reason why he uses hutong as a medium to reflect the city's changes. "I greatly admire Lao She. His drama Teahouse is still popular and will undoubtedly endure. A standard hutong seems to me the perfect showcase for Beijing's twists and turns," Liao said.
