| Summary | "Schen: Studien aus einer chinesischen Weltstadt" by Fritz Secker is a collection of essays written in the early 20th century. The work examines the cultural transformations occurring in Shanghai during a pivotal time in Chinese history, following the Xinhai Revolution. Secker captures the nuances of modern Chinese society, contrasting traditional customs with the rapidly encroaching Western influences. The opening of the book sets the stage by reflecting on the atmosphere in Shanghai during the 1912 Chinese New Year celebrations, which coincided with significant political shifts. Secker notes the juxtaposition of colorful Republican flags, military uniforms, and the traditional attire of the population, indicating a deep cultural tension. He describes the vibrant yet superficial life of the city and emphasizes the impact of Western fashion on local traditions. Through observations of street life, theaters, and festivals, Secker illustrates a society grappling with its identity amid modernization, hinting at the lasting effects of this "Shanghaiism" on genuine Chinese cultural values.
