The project theme is " Precious jewel 1930". This project’s thematic conception is display vintage photographs of the city's women of the early 20th century.
The myth about Shanghai women as material girls endures, both in popular imagination and the realm of fiction. On one end of the literary spectrum are Eileen Chang's passionately individualistic heroines, who are both powerful and vulnerable when they use their sexuality to get ahead with men.
Shanghai is - in the imagination of the non-Shanghainese - inextricably linked to sleaze, shadiness and materialism. And when you add sexuality to this heady concoction, it often gives a whole new twist to the city's already dodgy image.
Shanghainese women in an image that might - from the perspective of old-school believers in the idea of romantic love - look less than flattering.
