Sharing Tea in Beijing

by Cora Campbell

Golden late afternoon light slants through the dense canopy of a hutong courtyard, illuminating a worn wooden table where a retired couple shares tea. A chipped enamel kettle sits beside two blue-and-white porcelain cups, steam curling into the warm air. The man adjusts a faded floral chair cushion on his bamboo seat, while his wife arranges a small stack of papers secured by a heavy stone paperweight. Nearby, a woven cane basket holds fresh scallions, and a single taper candle rests unused on the table’s edge, its wax pooled from previous evenings. Weathered grey brick walls and a glimpse of a tiled roof, capturing a quiet, lived-in moment of daily routine in the heart of Beijing.
