wushijiao Posted May 15, 2006 at 01:12 PM Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 at 01:12 PM NPR story on the unique sounds of old Beijing. Interesting, especially if you haven't been to Beijing. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5402696 As the article says, a lot of these sounds might be lost because people now shop in malls, on the internet, and are "lost in supermarkets", as the Clash might say. It reminds me of another NPR story on the death of the unique sound tabacco auctions in the US. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5354369 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
