The Era of Reshuffle
by Jin Yucheng
About This Novel
Shanghai is like a sponge, absorbing everything cleanly, as if all the memories never happened. "The Age of Shuffling" is a prose classic by writer Jin Yucheng. The twenty-eight essays construct a blossoming landscape image: the changing people and scenes, the daily life of the city with the original accent of old Shanghai, the cold legends of Northeastern farms, the meticulous description of handmade utensils... When spread out, it is an old picture of Shanghai, a riverside scene during the Qingming Festival in a special era; when taken together, it is the eternal human nature and spiritual desires of the human heart. "The Age of Shuffling" is the source material of "Flowers", a collection of old Shanghai stories, from which many characters and stories in "Flowers" were born. It is also a volume of the material life history of Shanghai, which restores the past lifestyle of Shanghainese in detail and overlays the original appearance of the past. Underneath the images, colors, smells and sounds, the story is undercurrent, and the free, gorgeous, and moving details are like mercury pouring down the ground.
