This is not a story about a fancy-looking dock but about a typical old Shanghai residential area. Derived from an old dock, the place is known as "Dong-Jia-Du" originally. Despite the limited space, it has witnessed the most authentic and truest facets of the old Shanghai and provided a panorama of the city's evolution over the past 150 years: the old plants starting from 1850s, the catholic church established by Francisco Xavier in 1847, the underground theater, the long paths and alleys and houses carrying the historical myths.Today, in the same area, with joy and pain, people are still busy with their life in their own way - a pair of brother and sister who runs a barbershop, an old man who looks like a homeless wanderer but speaks fluent English, a young man busy with his fruit shop almost 24 hours a day.
