About this title
The video offers a nocturnal glimpse of Shanghai street life, depicting one of the typical neighbourhoods disappearing under the city’s urban development. The improvised sound track is a duet orchestrated for the ancient Chinese instrument the guzheng1 and for the cricket that sings only at night.
