The Shanghai Fuzhou Road Huile Li red-light district in the late Qing Dynasty of China.









清末的十里洋場,洋人買辦川流不息,
石庫門外的世紀末華麗與弄堂裡的貧賤卑微互相擠兌共存。
上海福州路會樂里紅燈區,
一個個少女被龜奴掮在肩上出堂差,
她們叫的是花名,做的事兒童不宜。


In the late Qing Dynasty, while foreign compradors in Shanghai enjoyed their luxurious lifestyle, the people who lived in Shikumen were facing great difficulties. In the Shanghai Fuzhou Road Huile Li red-light district, young girls were carried on rickshaw pullers’ shoulders and forced to work. Girls with aliases did erotic services like their matured counterparts.
