The Shanghainese Next Door
by Shen Yilun
About This Novel
All kinds of people and various choices converge into the face and spirit of a city. Jin Yucheng, Cao Jingxing, Qin Yi... They tell you about the humanity, quality and legend of Shanghai; the last old Koehler on Baoqing Road, the relocated residents who left Hongzhen Old Street, the migrant workers who integrated into the city... The silhouettes of amateurs reflect the still water and deep currents of the city in the era of change. Shanghainese are strangers you are familiar with. Anyone who has illusions and good impressions of Shanghai, or anyone who has prejudices and misunderstandings about Shanghai, should go to the streets of Shanghai and take a look at the people living in Shanghai. Whether celebrities or ordinary people, old-timers or outsiders, what makes Shanghai unique is not the brightly lit landmarks of high-rise buildings, but the people who live among them. Stories about people, their helplessness, bravery, and kindness make this city a legend.
