Living archive of an ever-evolving identity

By Li Qian | 00:01 UTC+8 June 10, 2025 | Print Edition

THE Huangpu River has borne witness to Shanghai’s transformation from a modest settlement to a global metropolis. Its waters have shaped not only the city’s skyline but its very spirit, reflecting the openness and resilience that define Shanghai’s unique culture.

For generations of Shanghainese, the river holds the weight of memory: the sounds of ferries crossing its waters, the quiet bustle of the docks and the skyline rising ever higher. Today, the river remains just as alive.

Along its banks — whether at the historic Bund, the modern Lujiazui or the scenic West Bund — people jog, linger and reflect. The rhythm of their footsteps on the promenade mirrors the steady flow of the Huangpu itself: constant, enduring, a silent thread connecting past to present.

More than just a river, it is a living archive of Shanghai’s ever-evolving identity, carrying with it the emotions and stories of a city that, like the river, never stops moving.
