past, and continues to be that way. I believe this character will last,
into the future”. And is the city a good fit for a simple but refined
personality? “Yes, I like it very much. It is comfortable, both old
and new, inviting, fresh, and energetic. In Shanghai, there are many
events year around. New places are constantly opening, and I think
this keeps people excited about the city. I go out, I explore,
I observe the new developments in the city, and during this process
I slowly find myself discovering clues about the objects and events
of the past”. The past is not even past, Faulkner said, because
the past is part of who we are. It had a role in the world we have
inherited. It has a role in the present and our existence. The past
only represents the illusion of no longer being, but somehow it
remains in us, in our lives, our faces and in the buildings we inhabit.
This was true in Faulkner’s America, and it is still true today,
in Shanghai, an ancient city in total transformation, with its eye
on the future.
