Features: Reading Chen Danyan's articles feels like hearing the creak of a time gate opening: the jazz music popular in 1930s dance halls pouring out, the temptation of freshly baked French bread, or the varying lengths of cheongsam, the charming big waves or sharp E-shaped hairstyles, the trams without tracks. This book includes 23 essays, such as "The Scent of Opium and Sea," "Endless Old Affection," "Shanghai Salad," "The Tricycle on the Bund," and "Shanghai's Longing."
