Features: Women love beauty, and old Shanghai fulfilled all their fantasies. Its prosperity and solitude, tradition and modernity intertwine like a net, making it impossible to escape once trapped in it. Life and death are tied to the rise and fall of old Shanghai. The beginning in chaos is an endless eternity. The charming figures of ten women appear and disappear amidst the gunfire, and the years of the isolated island forged their fleeting brilliance.
Old Shanghai was once a poem, and these ten women were its rhymes; old Shanghai was once a song, and these ten women were its melody; old Shanghai was once a necklace, and these ten women were its shining pearls. To say the legends of old Shanghai are captivating is simply to recite the poem a hundred times, sing the song a thousand verses, and leave the necklace for the world. Decades have passed, and old Shanghai has been sealed as the most beautiful memory. The frowns and smiles of these ten women have all returned to the earth, but this is certainly not their fault—it is just that life is a little shorter than memory.
