Shanghai in the 1980s was a different world. When Tess Johnston arrived in Shanghai in 1981 - five years after the end of the Cultural Revolution – she encountered a “perfectly preserved, totally western city with an Asian population.” Tess is a legend in Shanghai, the woman who stayed for 35 years and pioneered the study of the western presence in old Shanghai - then unspoken, evident only in the mysterious western buildings. With her inimitable wit and wisdom, she will take listeners back to life in pre-high-rise, pre-Lamborghini, pre-shopping mall Shanghai on this fascinating historical tour.
Venue: Radisson Blu Xingguo Plaza Hotel Shanghai, Li Meeting Room 2, Lower Level, 78 Xingguo Road/Huashan Road兴国宾馆, 兴国路78号, 近华山路
