天气一天比一天寒冷。北海公园的湖上已经结了厚厚的冰层，马路两旁树木上的叶子已经落尽了，只有光秃秃的树枝在寒风中瑟瑟颤抖着。北平已被强大的人民解放军包围，城门紧闭，粮食、蔬菜、鱼肉都运不进来。我们吃着早已准备的酱萝卜，有时也用黄豆泡豆芽。

It was getting colder with each passing day. The lake in Beihai Park was covered with a thick layer of ice. The roadside trees had been stripped oftheir foliage, leaving their bare branches and twigs shivering in the biting wind. Peiping had been besieged by the powerful PLA forces. The city gates were shut tight and supplies of grain, vegetables, fish and meat were cut off. We had to make do with the pickled turnips we had laid in longbeforehand and sometimes ate home-grown soybean sprouts instead.
