关于与沪成长

About GUWS

“ 与沪成长 ” 是一系列与上海年轻人一起完成的 “ 声音漫步之旅 ”。他们生于 80 和 90 年代，这些语音不仅记载了他们对成长之地的亲切回忆也从讲述者的角度对地理地点讲行过去和现在的对比。同时讲述者会通过本身的成长经历也反映了过去 30 年里上海的讲步与发展。这些实地录音由讲述人操沪语完成同时录音也捕捉纪录到当日真实的环境声音供世界各地的听者感同身受。

“Growing Up With Shanghai” is a series of soundwalks with young Shanghainese who were born and raised during the rapid modernization of their city in the 1980s and 1990s. These recordings capture not only their most intimate memories as they grew up, but, when contrasted with the present state of each location, also reveal the progress and growth Shanghai has undergone in the past 30 years. The current sounds of Shanghai, including that of the Shanghainese dialect, create a comprehensive present-day audio document that future generations can experience.

刚开始这个项目时，我不知道该去哪里，也不知道我会遇到什么样的人。我的第一次漫步之旅是和我的上海朋友 Maggie 一起去的，她告诉我她对参加这个项目很有兴趣。

一开始我就知道这次漫步之旅将是非常有趣的。我们从一栋废弃的公寓楼开始了。这栋废弃的公寓即将被拆除，将来用于拓宽徐家汇。徐家汇是上海新兴的购物中心及电子百货中心。这栋公寓楼很安静，只有几家人还住在这座废弃的楼房里。政府在 2002 年左右已经对大多数住户进行了搬迁，并拆掉了公寓内部设施，准备进行整体拆除。自从 Maggie 离开这里后，她还是第一次回到这里，看到现在的场景，勾起了她很多的回忆，她觉得非常有趣。我们继续沿着计划的路线前行，来到了附近她曾就读的语言学校。这里的街道熙熙攘攘，川流不息，可以听见餐馆忙于准备午餐的声音，还有从当地蔬菜市场买菜回家准备为心爱的人做饭的人们。走在这条路上， Maggie 的回忆很具体，也很温馨 —— 在当地的邮局买邮票，还记得她母亲经常光顾的蔬菜市场。随着我 3

Hong Qiao Lu [ 虹桥路 ] 289 Nòng. I am standing in front of a garage. A very old garage. There are a lot of bicycles parked inside. Right next to it is where my old apartment building used to be. This whole area is going to be demolished soon. There was a small room in our old house that was rented out to a young couple. I heard that there was an apartment that was almost like a little casino. You could call it a ‘mahjong room’ nowadays. A lot of people went in and out of this mahjong room, mostly men. My mother said that they played card games and mahjong there. These kinds of activities were forbidden before, and I heard that even the police came to stop people playing these games. My old apartment was on the second floor. When you stand next to the window you can see 2 doors. Standing in front of the big window on the second floor 6

Xujiahui 多辰光才可以到阿拉屋里厢。后来第一家肯德基 1，在东方商厦旁边，（虹桥路）拓宽了，就侪部拆脱了。现在也没有了。生意大概不好了。勒了虹桥路边上还开过一间肯德基，应该是上海第一爿肯德基。这是我和我外婆第一次去吃的地方（肯德基）。我外婆那时候还是非常健勒了东方商厦旁边，现在也呒么了。康的，大概就六十几岁。带我去的时生意大概弗好了。箇是我畀阿拉外婆候我已经下课了，两个人很兴奋，走第一次去吃嗰地方（肯德基）。阿拉去那里一看有一个广告，广告上写了外婆箇辰光还是侠气健康嗰，大概就两个套餐，一个是送东西的，一个是六十几岁。带阿拉去嗰辰光，阿拉已不送东西的。我不懂，就随便点了一经下课了，两嗰人老兴奋，走到挨面个。因为看不清楚，我太矮了，看不一看有一只广告，广告上写了两种套清楚广告，结果买错了。那时候是送餐，一种是送物事嗰，一种是弗送物一个水壶，对孩子蛮有吸引力的，但事嗰。阿拉弗懂，就随便点了一只。是我没拿到，外婆又不识字，也对我因为看弗清楚，阿拉太矮了，看弗清没帮助。后来外婆老了，不和我们住楚广告，结果买错了。挨辰光是送一在一起了，在外面住了，所以这件事只水壶，对小囡蛮有吸引力嗰，但是我一直记得很牢。阿拉没拿到，外婆又弗识字，也对我没帮助。后来外婆老了，弗畀阿拉蹲这地方现在很脏，都是建筑垃圾，全勒了一道了，勒了外头蹲了，所以箇是蚊子。这个角落很荫凉，天很热，桩回忆我一直记得老牢。我听见知了的叫声，就想起夏天小时候自己一个人在家。我在这个房间和箇地方现在老龌龊，侪是建筑垃圾，奶奶一起住，我从小是弹古筝的，古侪是蚊子。箇只角落老早老荫凉，天筝就放在这个房间里，老房子的隔音老热，我听到知了嗰叫声，就想起夏不好。隔壁邻居和我们关系不错，什天小辰光自己一嗰人蹲勒了屋里厢。么话都会说。我从六岁就开始弹古阿拉勒了箇嗰房间畀奶奶一道蹲，我筝，一直弹到高中毕业，去其他城市从小是弹古筝嗰，古筝就放勒了箇嗰读大学之后就中断了。这些年之中我房间里，老房子嗰隔音弗好。隔壁邻是觉得蛮辛苦的，别人说学琴的孩子居畀阿拉关系弗错，啥闲话侪会讲。是没有童年的，我就深有体会。那时阿拉从六岁就开始弹古筝，一直弹到候我爸爸妈妈是双职工，都要上班， 7

you will be able to see an alleyway leading to Hóngqiáo Lù. The Gateway shopping mall and Eastern shopping mall are on Hóngqiáo Lù, which was not here before. All the houses near my old house were built in the 1970s. They are not high, about 6 or 7 floors. Now, no one lives here anymore. If you look out another window you can see the neighborhood’s gate. Yíshān Lù is right outside of the gate. If you go out from here it should be the ‘Liu Yuan’… Oh no, I think I made a mistake here… [Go up the stairs to the second floor, turn left, go to the apartment at the end.] Right now, we are in my old apartment. It is completely empty now, so you can hear the echos. The window frames are all taken out but you can still see where the curtains used to hang. From here you can see there are a couple of trees outside of the window [Looking west]. These were planted by the neighbors around here. I buried my pet tortoises here – those Brazilian Colorful tortoises you can buy on the street. These trees should be ‘pípa’ trees. When I was young, I used to love to see them blossom and fruit.

徐家汇

Xujiahui

徐家汇高中毕业，去其他城市读大学之后就中断了。挨些年当中阿拉是觉着蛮辛苦嗰，人家讲学琴嗰小囡是呒么童年嗰，我就深有体会。挨辰光阿拉爸爸妈妈是双职工，侪要上班，屋里厢里只有老人，老人是特别宠小囡嗰，弹弗弹是弗要劲嗰（只有老人勒了嗰情况）。伊拉会要阿拉休息一下，看看电视什么嗰。但是我老怕阿拉姆妈，伊老凶嗰，伊会逼勒我弹。当然了，花了嘎许多钞票，还请了老师，本来是十元一嗰小时，后来涨到了一百元，现在可能更加贵。我已经老长辰光呒么上过课了。阿拉嗰老师现在也应该有八十岁了，应该是想弹也弹弗动了。隔壁邻居听到阿拉弹琴，阿拉姆妈回屋里厢有辰光会去问伊拉 “ 阿拉屋里厢小囡有呒么弹琴？或者旁敲侧击一下 ” 邻居就会讲（弹或呒么弹）。因为隔音弗好，老房子了，墙壁就薄薄一层，箇琴声侪传过去了。可以整嗰走廊侪听得见。老房子夏天比较热，屋里厢里嗰大门总是开勒嗰，只有外面一扇铁门锁勒，箇样隔壁阿姨要是有啥物事吃，侪会叫声阿拉，西瓜咯什么嗰。阿拉蹲勒了箇搭直到阿拉高中毕业，阿拉屋里厢买房子勒了别嗰地方，实际上我是老喜欢箇里嗰。为啥好呢？因为虽然房子老了，但是交通侠气方

家里只有老人，老人是特别宠孩子的，弹不弹是无所谓的（只有老人在的情况）。他们会要我休息一下，看看电视什么的。但是我很怕我妈妈，她很凶的，她会逼着我弹。当然了，花了这么多钱，还请了老师，本来是十元一个小时，后来涨到了一百元，现在可能更加贵。我已经很长时间没有上过课了。我的老师现在也应该有八十岁了，应该是想弹也弹不动了。隔壁邻居听得见我弹琴，我妈妈回家有时候会去问他们 “ 我们家孩子有没有弹琴？我刚好出去一下 ” 邻居就会说（弹或没有弹）。因为隔音不好，老房子了，墙壁就薄薄一层，这琴声都传过去了。可能整个走廊都听得见。老房子夏天比较热，家里的大门总是开着的，只有外面一扇铁门锁着，这样隔壁阿姨如果有什么东西吃，都会叫上我，西瓜什么的。我住在这里直到我高中毕业，我们家买房子在别的地方，其实我是很喜欢这里的。为什么好呢？因为虽然房子老了，但是交通非常方便，想去哪里都行，我现在只需要走走路就到徐家汇了，现在徐家汇也算另一个市中心了。比较主要的商业区，像天文台测温度，这里都是要报出来的。我以前最喜欢去的是港汇，因为里面很大，非常宽敞，比起这种老牌，像 “ 汇

climb up to pick the fruits. This road in front of the window [Looking south] should be Hóngqiáo Lù. This road has been widened during the years. It used to be really narrow. There are many of these narrow roads around here. I would have to walk a long time and take many turns before getting home, but after [Hóngqiáo Lù] was widened, all those small roads are gone. The KFC on Hóngqiáo Lù, which should be the first KFC in Shanghai 1 used to be right next to the Eastern Mall but it is gone now because the business was not that good. This was the first fast food place I took my grandmother. My grandmother was very healthy then, I think she was in her 60s. We went one day after I finished school and we were both very excited. After walking in we were reading all of the menus. They had two set meals that we could choose from. One came with a free gift and one didn’t. I couldn’t really understand it and because I was so short I could not read the menu clearly so I just ordered whichever looked good. In the end, I found out that I got the wrong one. The free gift which was a water bottle and I really wanted it. Grandmother didn’t read the menu 10

Xujiahui 便，想去阿里侪可以，阿拉现在只需要走走路就到徐家汇了，现在嗰徐家汇也算另一嗰市中心了。比较主要嗰商业区，像天文台测温度，箇里侪是要报出来嗰。阿拉以前最喜欢去嗰是港汇，因为里厢老大，非常宽敞，比起箇种老牌，像 “ 汇金 ” 、“ 六百 ” ，挨辰光相当嗰宽敞畀舒适，有辰光屋里厢里弗开空调了，夜道一嗰人散步就会散过去，蹲一歇再回来。上海人有嗰习惯，喜欢勒了外头 “ 乘风凉 ”，不过阿拉屋里厢呒么箇种传统。阿拉姆妈以前是属于小资产阶级，伊觉着自己还是比较有身份嗰，她弗喜欢拿把躺椅摆了外头睡勒了外头。伊觉着老难看，呒样子，呒腔调。 [ 穿过马路有一扇小门侬可以穿过 ] 现在阿拉过了马路马上就要到乐山新村了，前头有新东方嗰学堂。箇嗰学堂阿拉侠气熟悉，从小上到大，自从伊开了之后我就一直去。阿拉以前是读英语学堂嗰，对语言老感兴趣，放寒暑假，除了弹琴阿拉侪会去挨面上课。

金 ” 、“ 六百 ” ，那时相当的宽敞和舒适，有时候家里不开空调了，晚上一个人散步就会走去那里，待一会再回来。上海人有个习惯，喜欢在外面 “ 乘风凉 ”，但是我们家没有这种传统。我妈以前是属于小资产阶级，她觉得自己还是比较有身份的，她不喜欢拿把躺椅睡在外面。她觉得很难看，没样子，没腔调。[ 穿过马路有一扇小门你可以穿过 ] 现在我们过了马路马上就要到乐山新村了，前面有新东方的学校 2。这个学校我非常熟悉，从小上到大，自从它开了之后就一直去。我以前是读英语学校的，对语言很感兴趣，放寒暑假，除了弹琴我都会去那里上课。

[9:58] 现在对面开了间锦江之星旅

馆 3 ，以前我记得是间厂房吧？还是什么公司？这栋楼空着很长时间了，现在终于变成一座旅馆了。我还是第一次注意到。旁边是个卫生中心，它也是后来才开的。我记得去看过病的也配过药，感冒什么的小毛病都是在那里看的。锦江之星旅馆右边是个 “ 丽花皇宫 ”4 [Map #2]，好像是个夜总会。是很早前就有的，以前看它 [9:58] 现在勒了对面开了间锦江之的招牌还觉得挺好看的，现在看起来星旅馆，以前阿拉记得是间厂房吧？有点老（老土、旧），黄兮兮的都锈还是啥公司？箇栋楼空勒老长辰光了。了，现在好不容易变成一座旅馆了。 11

either. After that, my grandmother got older and moved somewhere else in town so I saw her less frequently. I never forgot this outing we had together. Our apartment is very dirty now, filled with construction garbage and full of mosquitoes. This corner is very cool even in really hot weather. I can hear the sounds of cicadas. When I was young and was home by myself I would stay in this room with my grandma. I started learning how to play the Chinese Harp since I was a kid, and the harp was put right in this room. Walls in old houses like this do not keep the sound in. We had a pretty good relationship with our neighbors so we could talk about anything to each other. I started playing the Chinese harp when I was 6 and continued playing until my high school graduation. I stopped when I went to another city for University so it was tough to keep learning the harp. They say that kids who played an instrument since they were young do not have a childhood, and I know exactly what that means.

Xujiahui

徐家汇阿拉还是第一趟注意到。旁边是嗰卫生中心，伊也是后来才开嗰。我记得去看过病嗰也配过药，感冒啥嗰小毛病侪是勒了箇搭看嗰。锦江之星旅馆右面是嗰 “ 丽花皇宫 ” [Map #2]，好像是嗰夜总会。是老早就有嗰，以前看伊嗰招牌还觉着蛮好看嗰，现在看起来有点老（老土、旧），黄兮兮嗰侪锈脱了。

[10:52] 这条路边原本有个公交车 My parents both had full time jobs so 站，原本是 26 路。这辆 26 路是条非常长的线路，可以通到老西门。小时候我非常喜欢去城隍庙，我妈妈就带我乘这路车，慢吞吞慢吞吞的才能到那里（城隍庙）。以前，没有地铁，就觉得乘公交车不错。有了地铁之后我就再也不原意乘这辆车了，非常慢，很折磨人的耐心。

[10:52] 箇条路旁边老早有嗰公交车 [11:50] 这里有个菜市场，是我不原站，是 26 路。箇辆 26 路是条侠气长嗰线路，可以通到老西门。小辰光阿拉非常喜欢去城隍庙，阿拉妈妈就带阿拉乘箇路车，慢吞吞慢吞吞嗰才可以到挨面（城隍庙）。以前，呒么地铁，就觉着乘公交车弗错了。有了地铁之后阿拉就再也弗原意乘箇辆车了，侠气慢，老折磨人嗰耐心。

意来的地方。大家都知道，菜场就是非常臭，特别是夏天。夏天在我的印像中除了知了声就是西瓜（腐烂后）的臭味。上海人有种习惯不太好，喜欢乱扔东西，垃圾箱外面和里面，西瓜都要放了很久才会清理掉。非常臭，我最讨厌的就是走过这种地方的旁边。

[11:50] 箇里有嗰菜市场，是阿拉弗 [ 开始哼哼 ]

原意来嗰地方。大家侪晓得，菜场就是侠气臭，特别是夏天。夏天勒了我嗰印像中除了知了声就是西瓜皮（腐烂后）嗰臭味。上海人有种习惯弗太好，喜欢乱厾物事，垃圾箱外面畀里厢，西瓜皮侪要放了老长辰光才会清理特。侠气臭，我最讨厌嗰就是走过箇种地方嗰旁边。 [ 开始哼哼 ]

[12:55] [ 乐山路上右转 ] 现在我们来到了乐山新村，它附近现在还没有怎么变样，还是有很多卖小吃的卖水果。还有一个老邮局 5，曾经我们家集过邮。我妈玩花样，我也不知道为什么要集邮，每个月都有邮票，每个月就要拿本本子，去邮局领邮票，就在这间小邮局 [Map #3]。

they were always at work. Only my grandparents were at home with me and they spoiled me, so they didn’t really care if I practiced hard or not. They would let me relax and watch TV. But I was always scared of my mother. She was very tough on me. She was always forcing me to practice because she had already spent money for the harp and also the lessons. It started at 10 yuan per hour then it slowly went up to 100 yuan per hour. Maybe it’s even more expensive now. I have not had a harp class for a long time. I am pretty sure my teacher must be in his 80s now, and has already retired. All my neighbors could hear me practice, so when my mother came home she would check up on me by asking the neighbors, “Did my daughter practice today?”. The neighbors could always tell her the truth because the harp could easily be heard through the thin walls. I bet the whole hallway could hear me practicing. During summer it would get really hot in the apartment so we would always keep the windows and front door open but the iron gate closed. The Ayi 2 from next door would come to call me whenever they had 14

[12:55] [ 乐山路上右转 ] 现在阿拉来 [14:32] 我有很多同学，都住在这 good food like watermelons, etc. 到了乐山新村，伊附近现在还呒么哪能变样，还是有老多卖小吃嗰卖水果。还有一嗰老邮局，曾经阿拉屋里厢集过邮。阿拉姆妈孛相花样，阿拉也弗晓得为啥要集邮，每嗰号头侪有邮票，每嗰号头就要拿本簿子，去邮局领邮票，就勒了箇间小邮局 [Map #3]。

[14:32] 阿拉有交关多同学，都蹲勒了箇搭。小学同学，初中同学，阿拉侪勒了一道，伊拉就蹲勒了乐山新村，两栋绿色嗰楼里。以前还觉着绿颜色老鲜艳，现在已经暗脱了，变墨绿色了。

[14:56] 箇搭旁边就是徐汇区乐山菜场 [Map #4] 。箇嗰菜场侠气老，阿拉姆妈就经常畀邻居阿姨跑到箇搭买菜，侪拎着老多物事回去。阿拉姆妈以前有段辰光手受伤了，就是因为拎了太多菜，比方两只西瓜畀老多嗰菜拎回去。后来经过我多次提醒，伊终于放弃，弗再拿嘎西多菜回去了。现在老多老阿姨侪推一种铁车子（折叠嗰有滑轮嗰篮），我觉着蛮好。不过阿拉妈觉着弗好，伊讲拎上楼弗方便。难么阿拉就放弃了，算了（弗畀姆妈买了）。 15

Local Shanghainese have this habit, they go outside and ‘chéng fēngliáng’ [ 乘风凉 ] 5 in the summer winds, but we didn’t have this kind of tradition at home. My mother was considered a little ‘bourgeois’ and she thought it was tasteless to put a chair out and enjoy the wind outside.

[18:32] [ 在番禺路十字路口停下 ] 一般我就是走这条小弄堂去上海影城看电影的。上海影城是我最熟悉的一个电影院，第二是衡山电影院 8。这两间的早晨票都非常的便宜，我还记得衡山电影院的一个录像厅，那个录像厅叫什么我忘了，反正（电影院里）一共两个，里面经常会放些香港的老片子，枪战片。小时候我不敢看这种片子，因为妈妈说这种片子不好。后来大了，我还是蛮喜欢的，里面就有张曼玉，很早拍的一个片子，它的主题歌我还记得很清楚，是张学友的

[Directly across the road, there will be a small gate to a residential area you can go through, continue to Guǎngyuán Xī Lù.] When we cross this road [Yíshān Lù] we will be at ‘Lèshān New Village’ [ 乐山新村 ], and the ‘New Oriental School’ [ 新东方的学校 ] 6 is right here in the front. I am very familiar with this place because I took extra classes here when it first opened. I used to study English as a major in my school so I was very interested in languages. Every winter and summer holiday, in addition to my harp lessons, I would come to class here.

[9:58] [Turn left on Guǎngyuán Xī Lù.] Now they have opened a ‘Jǐnjiāng Star Motel’ [ 锦江之星旅馆 ] 7 right across from the school. I think this used to be an empty factory or some kind of office building. This building had been vacant for a long time and now it has finally become a motel. This is the first time for me to see this place. Right next to it is a health center, which also opened after I left this neighborhood. I remember coming here when I was

“ 吻别 ”，这首歌够老了，（看电影的时候）是我第一次听到。还不是他专辑里的，那时候是 1990 年。我不知道为什么我会记得这么清楚，那也是我第一次看比较血腥的香港枪战片。后来就一直不大敢看。我在上海影城看的我最喜欢的动画片 “ 狮子王 ”，我有个妹妹，后来她也去看了，那时候应该只有七八岁，她妈妈和我说她看完后很害怕，看得哭出来了。但是我那时候看得非常投入，（觉得）非常好看，很推荐小朋友们去看，是我的动画片启蒙片，相当于。和这种 “ 葫芦娃 ” 都不能比，人家是做的更加的精致许多。

sick sometimes to get medicine. For things like colds or other small things, I would come here for a quick check–up. There is a ‘Lí Huā Palace’ [ 丽花皇宫 ] 8 [Map #2] on the right of the ‘Jǐn Jiāng Star Motel’, maybe some kind of night club. It has been here forever. I used to think the signage was very pretty but now it looks so old fashioned and out of place. It’s all yellow and rusted now.

[10:52] There used to be a bus stop on

the curb here. It used to be a stop for bus #26. Bus #26 has a very long route. It passes by the ‘Old West Gate’ [ 老西门 ]. I used to love to go to the ‘Chéng Huáng Temple’ [ 城隍庙 ]. My mother would take me there with this bus. It is very slow and takes forever to get there. This was when there was no subway in Shanghai yet, so taking the bus was the best way to get around. But after the subways were built, I would not take this bus anymore. Riding a bus was too slow and took a lot of patience. [Starts humming.]

[11:50] There is a local food market

here and I don’t like it here too much. Everyone knows that the food markets 18

Xujiahui in Shanghai stink – especially in the summer. My only memory of summer around here was the sound of cicadas and the smell of rotten watermelon. Local Shanghainese have a kind of bad habit – they throw a lot of garbage on the street. Whether it is inside or outside of the garbage bin, the garbage usually takes a long time to be collected. It stinks like hell and I hate walking by here.

[12:55] [Turn right on Lèshān Lù.] Now

we are in the ‘Lèshān New Village’. Its surroundings have not changed much. There are still a lot of vendors for snacks and fruits, and an old post office 9. My family used to collect stamps. My mother loves these kinds of things. I had no idea why we did it but every month when new stamps were issued we would take this little book to go to the Post Office to collect the new stamps. It is this little Post Office right here. [Map #3]

[14:32] I have a lot of classmates who

live around here. During Elementary School and Junior High we used to hang out together all the time. They mostly lived in the “Lèshān New 19

[14:56] Right next to the residential

area is the Xuhui District ‘Lèshān Vegetable Market’ [ 乐山菜场 ] 10 [Map #4]. This market is very old. My mother used to come here with our neighbor Ayi to buy vegetables everyday. They would take so much food home. My mother’s hand hurt for a while in the past and I think it was because she was carrying too much food from the market. She would sometimes take home two watermelons and a lot of vegetables so I would have to keep reminding her not to carry so many things. Finally, she gave up trying to take so much home at once. Now a lot of older people use a little cart when they go shopping. I think those are great but my mother doesn’t want to use those. She said that they are hard to carry when going up the stairs. I gave up trying to convince her about it in the end, oh well.

[15:48] [Turn left on Xiùshān Lù [ 秀山 22

Xujiahui 路 ]] If you continue down this road is Pānyú Lù [ 番禺路 ]. This is where the ‘New Oriental’ School is located. Right next to it is the ‘Jiāotōng University’ [ 交通大学 ] graduate school dorms . I have been there once and saw it was very clean inside. I remember ‘Jiāotōng University’ had very bad lunch boxes. When I used to study at the ‘New Oriental’ School I had a full day of classes so I had to go and buy my own lunch. On the first day, I did not know where to go eat so I bought something from the ‘Jiāotōng University’ canteen. One lunch box cost me 10 yuan. That was considered very expensive at the time and on top of that it tasted horrible. They also had a very small selection. Perhaps all the school’s lunch boxes were like that. As time passed, I found more and more places to eat in the area. I even found places like ‘Xiǎo Lè Huì’ [ 小乐惠 ] 11 and would go in for a meal. When I did not feel like a formal meal, I would go to the supermarket next door for some bread and yogurt. I love to eat yogurt. When I was young, I used to eat it a lot in the summer because it would cool me down. I found out recently that yogurt is actually better than milk for 23

[17:31] If you walk out from here there

is a spa. There used to be a lot of buses parked here. Sometimes government workers and small business owners would come here for massages and such. I have been told that going to these places was considered a bad thing because they were probably using company or government resources for personal enjoyment. Nowadays, we are used to these ideas.

[18:32] [Stop at Pānyú Lù Intersection.] I

would walk down this alleyway to go to the ‘Shanghai Movie Theatre’. I am very familiar with The Shanghai Movie Theatre. The second one I know well is the ‘Heng Shan Movie Theater’ [ 衡山电影院 ] 12. Both of them have matinee specials. I remember in the ‘Héngshān Movie Theater’, they only had two different theaters and one of them would always play old Hong Kong movies, such as movies with gun fights, etc. I was afraid to watch those movies 26

Xujiahui because my mother would tell me they were a bad influence on me. But now that I am older I am starting to love them. I love Maggie Cheung in her old movies, and I still remember the title song of one of her movies was Jackie Chan’s ‘Kiss Goodbye’. This song is very old now and I remember that I heard it first from this movie and not from her album. This was sometime around 1990. I have no idea why I remember it so vividly. Maybe it was because that was my first bloody Hong Kong movie with a gun fight. After I saw it, I was afraid to watch anything like that for a while. My favorite movie at the ‘Shanghai Movie Theatre’ was the animation ‘Lion King’. I have a little ‘sister’ and she watched it with me, she was only 7 or 8 then, and her mother told me afterwards that she was really scared watching it and even cried. I really love that movie, it is very amazing and I would recommend all kids to watch it. It was one of my first animation films I have seen in my life. The classic Chinese Animation films ‘Húlu Wá’ 13 is no comparison. The animators of the ‘Lion King’ did a lot more delicate work. 27
