Shanghainese

上海人 or Shanghainese is a project about the financial center of China: Shanghai, and more importantly, about the 26 million inhabitants of this always-moving megalopolis. It is said that there is always something new to discover, from a coffee shop on the corner of a street that replaces another one to another huge mall that no one visits anymore if it wasn't for the restaurants: everything is changing fast. Yet, there is a vibe of tradition and history, a feeling of peace despite all the "kuaidi" (delivery men) racing in the street when you walk in the city center. The old houses and residences and the elders of Shanghai let us glance at how it was a few decades before they disappear in this wish for perfection and modernism.
