About the author

Shi Yunlun is an author whose writing centers on Shanghai-style culture. Public information about him is limited, and details such as his dates of birth and death, native place, and professional career remain unclear. Judging from the two works held in the collection, "Seaside Famous Gardens: Zhang Garden and Shanghai-Style Culture" and "Jing'an Shikumen," his interests lie in Shanghai's urban history and architectural culture, with particular attention to shikumen lanes and modern-era gardens that carry memories of the city. Such subjects typically require consulting local documents and surveying historic neighborhoods, weaving architectural forms into narratives of changing urban life; his writing therefore tends to combine documentary research with on-site observation. Classified as cultural works, these books are aimed at readers interested in Shanghai's local history, Shanghai-style culture, and the city's modern urban landscape, and may serve as reference reading on the history of Zhang Garden and Jing'an's shikumen.
