In the 1920s and 1930s, the Shanghai French Concession authorities wanted to create an "Oriental Paris" in the center of the French Concession.
People don't know what Paris looks like, but they know that Shanghai is bustling with traffic during the day and singing and dancing at night.
It is a paradise for rich people and a paradise for adventurers
It is also a place where people from the lower classes struggle to survive.
Pain and torture are hidden under the skin, family and national disasters are shrouded in the dome
Lu Xiaosi was an orphan who followed the Tian family and his son from Siping, Jilin, and drifted all the way to Shanghai, where he later became a waiter at the Fulai Inn.
She would have been just a ghost living in a turbulent era, but on an ordinary day, she met the person who changed her destiny.
He took away her only relatives and family, wiped out everything about her, and at the same time gave her a new name, a new home, and an elusive, bitter and difficult-to-swallow love.

Everything can only be seen temporarily in those fragments of chapters and sentences.
