Snobbish, shrewd, and vain were the impressions people had of the people in Shanghai in the past, while now, modern, bourgeois, busy, and lacking warmth have become the labels for young people in Shanghai. Even with the strongest personality, living in Shanghai for a long time will lead to assimilation. The other three seasons in Shanghai may be ordinary, but its winter is famous for its coldness. Its winter makes newcomers unaccustomed, as the cold in the north is straightforward, while the cold in Shanghai is gloomy and penetrating, with occasional winter rains that seep into one's bones. Perhaps for those who come to live in Shanghai from other places, the city can be somewhat inaccessible and difficult to integrate into, living on the fringes of the urban surface, unable to see the true face of the city. Shanghai is a mysterious city, even the "natives" and experts cannot fully explain it. If you want to understand Shanghai, you should come and experience it for a while.
