Shanghai has been demolished and rebuilt into a gleaming megacity in recent decades, now ranking with New York and London as a hub of global finance. But that transformation has come at a grave human cost. This compelling book is the first to explore in detail the stories of neighborhoods destroyed, families uprooted, and life patterns lost to make way for the new Shanghai. Here we find the holdouts and protesters, men and women who have stubbornly resisted demolition and demanded justice. Qin Shao follows a reticent kindergarten teacher turned diehard petitioner; a descendant of gangsters and squatters who has held out in his home for a decade and become an amateur lawyer for other evictees; a Chinese Muslim who has struggled to recover his ancestral home in Xintiandi, an infamous site of gentrification dominated by a well-connected Hong Kong real estate tycoon. Highlighting the wrenching changes spawned by China’s reform era, Shao vividly portrays the relentless pursuit of growth and profit by the combined forces of corrupt power and money, the personal wreckage it has left behind, and the enduring human spirit it has unleashed.

评分Intro+Xintiandi,看不下去瞭不是因為寫的不好而是因為太真實。想來自己還在淺薄地討論“為什麼城市設計的結果與最初的設計不一樣”這種沒什麼意義的問題時有多少人不明不白地就被趕齣瞭自己的傢園,心裏就很想嗬嗬瞭。藉的書裏,前麵一位讀者批注瞭滿書的bullshit,hehe以及f*k xxx,也是很有共鳴的批注瞭。
