"The world has lost old Shanghai. No one should think that its passing should be the cause of lamentations. Its presence for a century or more was evidence of oppression, of cruelty and unforgivable discrimination. The foreigners have left the scene of their debauches. Their spirits, I am sure, in ghostly forays must be seeking out the scenes of their earthbound joys - alas, in vain, as the Leninist-Marxist thoughts of Chairman Mao have swept away the last lingering whispers of a hundred years of sensuality."
