Island of Individualism

About This Novel
This novel takes personal destiny as a clue and runs through the historical dimension. The warp and weft are intertwined and densely woven, recreating the three-dimensional picture of life in Shanghai 90 years ago with different shapes, sounds and warmth. From it, you can get a glimpse of the intertwined maps of past lives in Shanghai's urban cultural genes: traditional Chinese Jiangnan, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Judaism, and Japan; old feudal autocracy and republic, ancient times and modern times, scientific democratic civilization and ignorance, darkness and violence... The rich and vivid details reshape the historical reality, and everything that has disappeared in the past time has been salvaged again and reappeared in front of readers.
