I recently had the surprise of receiving an award at the 3rd Shanghai culture festival (第三届海派风尚节推行大使), for promoting Shanghai culture through Shanghailander blog.
I was invited as a guest to the 1st Shanghai culture festival (see post “Night out at the French Club“). This has developed to become a real event for Old Shanghai lovers. It is mostly attended by Chinese people an local interest in Old Shanghai has been steadily growing over the years. A great opportunity to use my Chinese!
I had alread received an award from the French Shanghai historic society in 2017 (See post: https://shanghailander.net/2017/04/french-award-for-shanghailander-net/). Since then, I have received another award from French online daily “Le petit journal”. Please see article: https://shanghailander.net/2025/12/award-from-le-petit-journal/
