I was born and raised in Shikumen Tower and spent a total of 50 years. Most of my contact with family, classmates and friends took place in Shikumen and Should be considered Shikumen. I did write about Shi Kemen before, but I still want to say a few more words.Maybe someone like me, or someone more experiencedShikumen will find that the description in this book does not exactly match the picture in their minds. Regarding this, I can only regret to say that from different angles, things will never be the same. In the hearts of tens of thousands of people, there are thousands of sceneries in Shikumen. If readers can agree that what this book describes is the true part of Shikumen, I will be pleased. This is indeed a broad topic. For those who have limited knowledge of Shikumen, I would be very honored if this book can help them form a rough impression.
