Features: In this book, Mu Shiying focuses his gaze on nightclubs, cafes, bars, cinemas, racecourses, and other entertainment venues in the "Ten-Mile Waterfront," tracing the rhythm of foxtrot, jazz, models, neon lights, and capturing the sensitive, delicate, and complex psychological perceptions of urbanites. With his masterful use of montage, stream of consciousness, symbolism, impressionism, and other expressive techniques, he reflects the 1930s.
