Features: This book is a collection of selected columns written by Mao Jian in the past two years for the "Xinbao" newspaper, where the articles are all the author's impressions of the city of Shanghai. The writing style is fresh, the prose is fluent, and the articles are concise and powerful, forming a unique style of Mao Jian. The content is light-hearted and lively, making it a rare and insightful collection of realistic essays about Shanghai. A preface is also included, written by He Ping (Xiaobao), a well-known writer and host of the current reading program on Eastern Television, in the form of a cross-temporal novel. The classic works of the two living treasures of Shanghai are combined in one book, truly a rare gem. "When the world turns right, how do you choose? Left?" As a representative of modern prose, Mao Jian's pen is divinely inspired, focusing on the emotional experiences of modern people. Mao Jian lives in Shanghai and studied in Hong Kong. The red dust of these two places flows before her eyes, and after extensive experience, she naturally understands people and the world better than the local villagers. When she speaks, she is invincible. She also has a unique skill. She can connect seemingly unrelated topics and chat with you in a disjointed way, yet she has the ability to make you listen with fascination. The entire book collects the representative works of Mao Jian's prose, allowing readers to see the Mao Jian of words—a playful, clever, witty, and humorous lady. She skillfully operates with imagery, often revealing ingenuity. She satirizes the world with both soft and hard methods.
