Here is a sophisticated urbanite walking through the old hutongs of Beijing. Sai Sai studies music and focuses on playing piano. I’m a great fan of the coat, though maybe not the jeans. It must be clear by now that military style is alive and well in China. I’ve heard some complaints in the West about it having lasted a bit too long. He was walking down Nanluoguxiang with a friend from Xiamen who was also taking pictures of stylish locals and snapped me, though I was looking rather mangled that day.
