Last Tales From the South China Seas: 1: Shanghai

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

A new series of six programmes about the themes and variations of the lives of the British in South-East Asia, in the days of the Empire: in the words of some of those who were there.
'There were no less than 400 nightclubs in Shanghai.... It was a place where you could see anything, do anything, get anything.... I never felt it was a wicked city, it was an exciting city... There was something about the air of Shanghai. You didn't need much sleep.'
