The memoir recounts the experiences of Paul Hoffman, an Austrian Jewish refugee who arrived in Shanghai in 1938. Over 13 years, he navigated life in a city teeming with cultural diversity and foreign influence, capturing the essence of old Shanghai during its final years of foreign dominance. Hoffman's reflections provide a unique perspective on resilience, adaptation, and the vibrant community that emerged amidst the challenges of displacement.
