前言

　　I was extremely delighted to accept the job of writing the booklet when senior editor Su Yiming from Shanghai Peoples Publishing House approached me with the request. I was born and brought up in a Shikumen building， where I spent a total of 50 years. Most of my contact with my family， classmates and friends took place in Shikumen and ！ should be counted as a Shikumen man. It was true that I had written about Shikmen before， but I still felt like saying more about them.　　Perhaps， people like me or those who have even more experience in　　Shikumen will find that the description in this book do not fully match the picture in their hearts. And to that， I can only say with regret that things are never the same when viewed from different perspectives. In hearts of ten thousand people， there are ten thousand views of Shikumen. I will be gratified if the readers simply agree that what the book describes is a real part of Shikumen. It is indeed a broad topic. As for those who have only a limited knowledge of Shikumen， I will feel greatly honored if the book helps them form even a rough impression.

章節(jié)摘錄

　　Zou Taofen， the famous patriot， lived in No. 53 Wanyifang from 1930 to 1936. The building is now the Taofen Memorial. Quite a few other celebrities also used to live there： Hu Dunfu， famous mathematician and founder of Datong University， lived in building No. 13; Qian Xingcun， a notable writer with a rich collection， lived in building No. 38; Ding Ling， the famous writer， lived in No. 60， where she gave birth to her child with Hu Yepin and received the terrible news that her husband had been murdered.　　The name of Zhu Zhiyao might not be familiar to the people of todays Shanghai. He was once a man of great fame. Enterprises like Qiuxin Shipyard， Tongchang Textile Mill， and Tongchang Oil Plant were all founded by Zhu. After the 1911 Revolution， he became Chairman of the Labor Party of the Republic of China， which was founded by him and another famous socialist， Xu Qiwen， who served as the Vice Chairman and was later killed by Yuan Shikai. Zhus fame didnt stem merely from his identity as a devout Catholic. His ancestors had been faithful Catholics since the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty， and so were his relatives. His uncle was Ma Xiangbo， who founded Zhendan University and later Fudan University. After the Opium War， the Catholic Church built Dongjiadu Cathedral in Shanghai. The Zhu family moved to live next to the Cathedral and was known as the Zhu family of Dongjiadu. In 1946， Zhu Zhiyao spent his fortune on almsgiving—— a Catholic concept whose Buddhist equivalent is "making a contribution" and is often known to people as "doing good deeds".
