Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Moment In Peking is a novel written by Lin Yutang, and published in 1939. Because it was aimed at the Western readership, it was written directly in English, but it was later translated in Chinese under the title "京华烟云" (Jinghua Yanyun). It has been adapted into TV series in China on three occasions; the 2005 version features Zhao Wei as the main character.The story follows the life of an extended upper-class Beijing family from the time of the Boxer uprising in 1900 to the beginning of the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937. It is both a depiction of the daily life of a Chinese family, and a chronicle of the political and social changes sweeping China during that period.The main character is Yao Mulan, who is introduced as a little girl, and becomes a middle-aged woman by the end of the novel.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Anachronism Stew: In the Live-Action Adaptation, male characters wear modern hairstyles even before the fall of the Qing Dynasty, a time when men were required to wear their hair in the customary pigtail on pain of summary execution.

comment
Arranged Marriage: Nearly every marriage that takes place in the story is arranged by the respective spouses' families. Truth in Television insofar as it was indeed the norm in Chinese society at the time.

comment
Armies Are Evil: The good characters repeatedly find themselves on the receiving end of military violence: from the corrupt warlords in the 1920s, and from the invading Japanese in the 1930s.
