Introduction
This book is full of small images of daily life. Ranging from a man whose simple blog gets over 2 million hits a month, to hairy crabs, from weekend warriors, to spending a day as an imperial concubine, it is all here - the pulse, the life, and the breath of China. Here you can find the fads, the fashions, and the hobbies of people on the move. It is no accident that most of these stories are about people in Shanghai. Shanghai has always been on the crest of the wave as far as China is concerned. Though the people of Shanghai are not exactly typical of everyone else in China today, these snapshots are windows to the future, to what China will become.
