The Romance of Shanghai
by Chen Danyan
About This Novel
How can the lively and flowing romance of Shanghai be transformed from the dust and smoke of history into the charm of the present? The changes over the decades in the cafes that have been regarded as urban living rooms, the streets that have never been widened to protect the memory of the city, the smells of Zhang Ailing, Bai Xianyong, Ke Ling, Fu Lei, and He Youzhi floating in the former residences of celebrities whose lives have changed, those foreign literary classics that are regarded as treasures by literary youths in the white paper era, the embarrassing past of the white paper era, those that have stared at us through the lens of French missionaries for more than a hundred years In the Shanghai of the past, there were still those fashionable women who quietly competed for beauty on Huaihai Road in the name of walking... The endless emotions of the vicissitudes of the world, the past and present lives of ordinary alleys, the contentment of worldly life...
