Features: In this book, Mu Shiying focuses his gaze on nightclubs, cafes, bars, cinemas, horse racing halls, and other entertainment venues in the "Ten-Mile Waterfront." He traces the rhythms of foxtrot, jazz, models, and neon lights, capturing the sensitive, delicate, and complex psychological experiences of urban dwellers. With his skilled use of montage, stream of consciousness, symbolism, impressionism, and other expressive techniques, he reflects the 1930s.
