Jenevieve Chang discusses her memoir, a true story of cultural clash and hedonism gone awry, as a good girl from a conservative Chinese-Australian family becomes a Shanghai showgirl at "Chinatown" - China's first Vaudeville, Variety and Burlesque club. Woven into the memoir is the story of her parents and grandparents, in whose footsteps she is following in unexpected ways.

Vibrant, bold and raw, The Good Girl in Chinatown is a story about Shanghai's heady pre-Expo years, a story about identity, the boundaries we choose to cross and the roles we choose to play. And it is a story about family and the ways we try, but sometimes fail, to be good for them.

RMB100 includes drink or RMB300 for workshop and talk.
