A 20-minute walk south from Lu Xun Gongyuan (Lu Xun Park and
Memorial Hall) is Duolun Lu, Shanghai's culture street, an
attraction opened in 1998, angling off Sichuan Bei Lu in the
historic Hongkou District. This district north of the Bund was
the original American Concession but merged with the British
Concession to form the International Settlement in colonial
Shanghai. By the time the writer Lu Xun moved into the
neighborhood in the 1930s, the area had become a Japanese
enclave. Other famous progressive artists and writers (Mao Dun,
Guo Moruo, Ding Ling), many of whom were part of the League of
Leftist Writers, lived here as well during that time, making
this area around Duolun Lu (formerly Darroch Rd.) known as a
cultural and literary center. -- The New York Times |
