I am a local Shanghainese, staying with my hometown for 30 years. My overriding impression of Shanghai is the Dramatic Life Changes since the reform& opening-up. I am always curious about how Shanghai be the Shanghai like today. So i started my research these years,visiting other big cities to find the similarity, like Tokyo/Paris/Copenhagen/Sydney/Vancouver, searching the Shanghai’s history recorded in literature by the authors from all over the world, chating with the old generations in family for past memory. If you have dozens of question of Shanghai , I’m willing to answer the call!

I was born in the 90s, the period Shanghai was undergoing big changes when China started reformed and opening ups. I grew up in the 21st century and I witness the fast transformation of the city.
