Features: Shanghai, this city brimming with fashion elements and fresh novelties, always brings surprises and delights to people. A poet once said: "The 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 one, full of imagination. 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. Women's footsteps are scattered throughout the city's corners. Because of their movements, the city becomes even 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 an active walking approach. Sometimes, she is a calm observer; at other times, she is an immersed experiencer. 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, it should be a very young book. I think, it should be a book for women. I think, it should be a book about the city. In my heart, I have always harbored an embarrassing dream: On some day in the future, someone is searching for information in a library, and by chance, they open my book. Suddenly, they feel as if they have found a kindred spirit.
