Features: This book is a collection of special column articles written by Shanghai young female writer Shi Lei for a local Chinese newspaper in Japan during her time working there. It is a Tokyo through the eyes of a female journalist, a city entangled with both the old and the new. Diverse MIX is liberation after too long of being bound; young, modern, and free; multiple relationships; still gentle towards Japanese men; a strong urban brand obsession; art and architecture; visual style; overseas youth cooperation teams; environmentalism; more traditional ceremonies throughout the year; nostalgia for Chinese people scattered across the world; the alienation of hands and feet; embraces of backs against backs; the road not taken.
