Features: This book is the Shanghai volume of the "Three Cities" series of novels, covering Shanghai, Taipei, and Hong Kong. It includes five short stories. Li Zhaozheng's "Urban Life" reflects on the imbalance of values in the process of urban modernization with a distinctly Shanghai-style writing style. Xue Shu's "Remembering Liuwan" is like a vivid, atmospheric old photograph of a traditional town, capturing a lively and culturally rich folk society with leisurely and exquisite brushwork. Wang Anyi's "Hair Salon Love Stories" and Peng Xiaolian's "On the Way Home" showcase the diverse and colorful aspects of urban life through a microcosmic approach.
