Historical Fiction
The Moonlit Wheels of Shanghai
A Tale of Love, Deception, and the Rickshaw Men of Old Shanghai
It was a warm summer evening in 1935 when the city of Shanghai transformed into a vibrant tapestry of sounds, smells, and colors under the radiant moon. The streets were alive with the soft rustling of silk fabrics, the chatter of pedestrians, and the distant wail of a saxophone wafting from the jazz clubs. Amidst this bustling metropolis, a rickshaw carried a young woman, Mei-Ling, through the winding alleys of the French Concession. The soft moonlight cast an ethereal glow on the silent wheels as they glided effortlessly across the quiet streets.
