This book is meant to help Westerners who have no idea of what is going on in China. Compiled from the pages of the Shanghai Daily, the city’s largest English-language newspaper, it is full of snapshots of daily life, ranging from a man whose simple blog gets over 2 million hits a month to hairy crabs, weekend warriors, spending the day as an imperial concubine—it is all here, the pulse, the life, the breath of China.
