'If one were to trace the history of Taifeng Building, it could go as far back as the middle Qianlong Period. The founder was a Jiang surnamed Imperial Chef, who initially started Outside the Pass and then moved to Beiping during the Republican era. Due to the havoc wrought by the years and warfare, this restaurant's fame had never been prominent, perhaps only remembered by a few of the elderly. Taifeng Building had ceased opearation for over 70 years, and alas, I myself never had the chance to witness its former glory. I learned of this establishment a few years ago, during an idle chat with Master Peng Changping across the ocean.'
