Chinese New Year’s Eve family dinner in the 1980s. It states that nowadays many people have this important dinner at restaurants instead of at home. In the past, this special dinner was usually served on a “round table”, which was folded up during normal days and unfolded only for this special meal. Many families would prepare 10 cold dishes and 10 hot dishes.
The book also explores daily life in Shanghai. Li Ting, an official, shares her memories of the city. Shanghai is known as a coffee capital with many coffee shops. But Li says the city once had a rich tea culture. Local teahouses were popular in the 1930s.
