Energy of Shanghai

Two overseas Chinese discuss moving back to mainland China.

Tsai: What’s your favorite city?

Mao: City, uh? For living or visiting?

Tsai: Both. Place where you might visit and like so much that you are tempted to fantasize about quitting your job, and relocating there.

Mao: Reinvent myself, reschedule my life?

Tsai: Place where you live and work is the anchor to your life, it defines how you think and behave.

Mao: How about Shanghai? Tell you why. It’s got a colorful history, it’s always changing, there’s variety in the culture, it’s got energy. It embraces technology, it has a green consciousness. It’s got a future.

How does the metropolitan character mesh with personal identity?
