Shanghai Nights
Mian Mian on Chinese raves, cheap taxis and why nobody wants to fuck the queen
Her book might be honest and uncompromising, but Mian Mian seems more interested in her life as a story, endlessly told and larger than life. When asked if she’s resolved her love-hate relationship with Shanghai, she replies: “Shanghai is the only city I want to live in because the taxis here are really cheap. It’s safe. Shanghai is a fiction. And so many interesting people pass through here and they all want to see me. It’s like I’m the queen. The only downside is that it looks like it’s impossible for me to find a lover in this city. I guess nobody wants to fuck the queen. They all say you’re the lover of my soul, you’re the lover of my life.”
