This track was recorded in the Hong Kou Area of Shanghai on July 7, 2010.
Sally moved to Canada when she was 5 years old and had recently returned to polish up her Mandarin and get back to her roots.
She shares with us memories of her old neighborhood and takes us along a local street where the local life helped recall lost stories of her childhood. She wonders about why her memories of Shanghai were still so vivid while her time in Canada seemed to be so easily forgotten.
It seems that Shanghai is finding alot of young adults coming back to reconnect with their memories. Some stay, some go, and some realize they never left.
We are grateful and pleased to document and present this walk to you.
This updated release includes the new Shanghainese character transcription.
