4.9/5 (28755 ratings)

Description:Infatuated with the glitz and glamour of 1940s Hollywood, Wang Qiyao - a girl born of the longtang, the crowded, labyrinthine alleys of Shanghai's working-class neighborhoods - seeks fame in the Miss Shanghai beauty pageant. This fleeting moment of stardom becomes the pinnacle of her life.

Surviving the vicissitudes of modern Chinese history, Wang Qiyao emerges in the 1980s as a purveyor of "old Shanghai" - a living incarnation of a new, commodified nostalgia that prizes splendor and sophistication - only to become embroiled in a tragedy that echoes the pulpy Hollywood noirs of her youth.From the violent persecution of communism to the liberalism and openness of the age of reform, this sorrowful tale of old China versus new, of perseverance in the face of adversity, is a timeless rendering of our never-ending quest for transformation and beauty.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
