Zhang Jishun

252K0

Has old Shanghai ever disappeared without a trace? Will Shanghai's local character continue? How does the "admission" of the state interact with the "presence" of the city? ... Just as the exploration of problems is inexhaustible, there is much to be done about almost every problem, and there is plenty of room for new problems to arise. Starting from only three research subjects: "working people", "intellectuals and cultural people" and "petty citizens", this book revisits the social culture of Shanghai in the 1950s, hoping to bring the distant city back to the historical reality during the great historical changes.
