Shanghai Neighborhoods
Shanghai Neighberhoods: A Daily China Photo
Today’s photo from Ken Leaf was taken in the Jewish Quarter of Shanghai, an often-forgotten portion of Shanghai that once was a booming portion of the city. Jewish migrants originally came to Shanghai in 1942, creating a small and vibrant community,only to leave a few years later before the massive changes that would take place in China.

A Canadian artist and group of investors have taken on the preservation of the neighborhood and are continuing to develop and add the neighbor with respect to its local culture.

今天我们看到的这张照片是Ken Leaf所拍摄的上海犹太人区,一个曾经繁荣但早已被人遗忘的城市一角。这些犹太移民最早于1942年来到上海,创造了一个狭小却又活跃的社区群体。他们只待了几年,还没等到中国翻天巨变的开始便离开了那里。
一个加拿大的艺术家和一群投资商承担起了对老宅区的保护工作,并逐渐唤起了本地居民对他们所住地的尊重。
