Synopsis
In a Western-style house located in Shanghai’s French Concession in the 20th century once lived the Lin family. In the early 1930s, after the family’s decline, the house was purchased by an opportunist and converted into a maternity hospital, where many stories unfolded. In the early 1950s, following the founding of New China, the house was repurposed as a factory workshop, bustling with workers and technicians. By the early 1990s, the old house had transformed into a mixed-use commercial and residential building, where new stories once again took place among the people who came and went.
