Features: "Humanistic Shanghai" is a highly valuable book. In fact, it is a collection of two books: one part consists of pictures and captions from the pictorial album "Old Shanghai," supplemented by several articles by Dr. Li Tiangang. The entire book revolves around the community life of old Shanghai, summarizing the characteristics of Shanghai before 1949. One of the main arguments of the book is that Shanghai once had a decent civil society and public spaces.
