Abstract

If Modernity and Progress reside in the city, and if the city monopolizes modern culture, then the countryside is the city’s emaciated other. 1 Tu It is just like how other people say: you dress like this, you must have just arrived here [Shanghai] from xiangxia (“countryside”). To give an impression of tu is that you are coming from xiangxia . It is because people in xiangxia dress more tu . Actually, I do not agree that they are tu. It is just that people dress more comfortably there. The fact is that people in the cities do dress the same.
