Features: Shanghai, this city brimming with fashion elements and fresh novelties, always brings people surprises and delights. A poet once said: "A city is a woman's lover." A philosopher once said: "A woman is a city's mirror." The relationship between women and cities is a romantic and imaginative one. In Shanghai Women's Map, we meet Chunzi, the radio host; Cao Lei, the famous voice actress; Tian'ai Road; Zhuang Yong and the Grand Gateway; Xin Lili and her favorite Xintiandi. The connection between women and cities is intricate and inextricable. Women's footsteps are scattered like stars across the city's corners. Because of their movements, the city becomes more dynamic and charming. Lin Hua writes this book from the perspective of an "on-site observer," attempting to discover the city's many virtues through active exploration. Sometimes, she is a detached observer; at other times, she is an immersed participant. Completing this book was an unexpected joy for me. I am captivated by this feeling of joy. A friend curiously asked me: "What kind of book is this, after all?" And this is also the question I ask myself: "What kind of book is this, after all?" I think this should be a very young book. I think this should be a book for women. I think this should be a book about the city. In my heart, I have always harbored an unspoken dream: On some day in the future, someone will be searching for information in a library, and by chance, they open my book, and suddenly, they feel as if they have found a kindred spirit.
