"For instance, in Shanghai in the 1940s, Chinese and Westerners were intermixed. If you just count the Jews in the Concession district, there were half a million of them. Everyone had plenty of contact and naturally there were more opportunities to coexist 'normally,'" says Ah Cheng.
「例如四○年代的上海，華洋雜處，光是租界區的猶太人，就有五十萬人，大家接觸多了，自然有較多機會『正常』相處」，阿城說。
