Abstract: Abstract When I first visited Beijing in the early 1990s, my impressions were of a grey, drab industrial city teeming with poverty-stricken beggars seeking alms from foreign visitors. The historic great commercial cities of Shanghai and Guangzhou were rather derelict shadows of their former heyday as commercial and financial hubs, with rotting edifices of beautiful but long-neglected colonial-style buildings from the early part of the 20th century.
