This is a typical Beijing experience. Who knows how many times it rouses a person from slumber; how often it lifts a person's eyes toward the heavens; how many times it brings joy to both adults and children. When we hear this music, it restores to us a lovely memory of this ancient city. Beijing once suffered devastation, and the distant music was heard no more. The silence only evoked anger and despair The music has penetrated our lives and has become a symbol of Beijing. It has also left a deep impression on foreigners who used to reside here. An American, Mr. H.P. Hoose, wrote on this flute-like sound some fifty years ago and introduced it to the West. A person ignorant of where the sound comes from may not know that it comes from whistles attached to pigeons' tails.
