I loved this book. It's full of references to classic Chinese literature, like the Dream of Red Mansions, which is L.'s and my favourite book. It's a great detective story set in modern Shanghai. I've asked L. Wenhui newspaper and "shanggui" do exist in modern China. I'm sure if he read it, he would recognize the streets and places, maybe even the people. But the most charming part for me was not svn a compelling detective story set in modern China. Most charming part for me was the storytelling, such a beautiful, poetic prose. And when I finished reading the story I felt like I parted with an old friend, reluctant to let him go and willing to see him again immediately. I was smitten off my feet by this calm, beautiful, peaceful story.
