What mostly impressed me aboutthe downtown of Shanghai when I was a young teenager was its vivid and lively sight． Iwas always fasclnated with
its texture， rhythm and charm． The old-fashioned lane community I used to live in never failed to touchme to the heart when I passed it later on． This was how I reallied that my childhood experiences were the origin of my interest in the city． And I enjoy my indulgingin this subjectivity, for it is the personalized experiences that grantthe citysuch genial attraction．
