Features: "Through the ages, times change, moss covers the buildings of the city, and the gold on the utensils has long faded. But right before us, the past of Shanghai is like a submarine quietly sailing into its future." This is the modern metropolis as seen by the poet Wang Yin, where history and reality, material and spirit are intertwined and flow in the calm words. The Dreamscape is a selected collection of essays by the poet Wang Yin over a decade of creative writing. In this collection of essays, apart from expressing observations and understandings of the surrounding world through descriptions of urban history, cultural trends, and travel, the most frequently addressed subject is art. Numerous art reviews involving film, painting, music, and literature demonstrate the author's consistent elegance, sensitivity, and subtlety in short passages; while the sketches of famous figures from Chinese and foreign cultures are meticulous and vivid.
