About the author

Public information about Luo Zhenguang is limited, and his writing and editorial work centers mainly on history and culture. Three of his works are included here: Dusty Past: Jewish Refugees and Shanghai, Shanghai Culture Map: A Stroll Through the Western District, and Elegant Rhymes of Mountains and Seas. These titles show his interest in Shanghai's local history and urban culture. On the one hand, he traces the city's modern history and its connections with Jewish refugees, preserving memories of people and daily life in a particular historical period; on the other, he uses a walking narrative to set out the threads and charm of Shanghai culture across particular places. His writing tends to follow concrete places, events, and details, combining historical research with cultural observation in plain, readable prose. The books should appeal to readers interested in Shanghai's history and Shanghai-style culture.
