It was Sunday after Valentine's Day.
Because many had partied hard the night before, most were still sleeping even by noon the next day.
The Imperial Capital Hilton Hotel was located east of the North Third Ring Road and also known as the oldest international hotel in the city.
In modern times it was no longer the most expensive or luxurious, but it's acclaimed history far exceeds the pricier and more fancy hotels. Discreet and particular business people, as well as foreigners traveling to conduct business all chose to stay at the Hilton Hotel.
