Midnight in Peking at the Beijing International Literary Festival

We’re having a Midnight in Peking night during the Beijing International Literary Festival (which just seems to get bigger and better every year). It’s going to be quite a glam affair I think at the lovely and very trendy Opposite House hotel (below)on Sanlitun. Their foyer exhibition space will be taken over with Midnight in Peking ephemera and exhibits, there’ll be cocktails, canapes, a talk and a general party I think. If you’re in Beijing do come along.

Sunday, 18th March – The Opposite House Hotel – 18:00

Paul French’s true-crime page-turner, Midnight in Peking, delves deep into Beijing’s sordid demimonde. On the cusp of WW II, the murder of Pamela Werner, a young British girl, shocked and paralysed the city. Join us for a special event as French takes us up close and personal to the seedy and fascinating characters of the Badlands and Legation Quarter. Plus, don’t miss a special display of archival photographs, recordings and more that French unearthed. 100 RMB
