The Silicon Bund: How Shanghai Invented "Tech-Confucianism" and Became the World's Most Livable Future City
At precisely 7:30 AM in Xuhui District, retired calligrapher Wang Zhenyi begins his morning ritual - not with ink and brush, but with a neural interface that translates his strokes into blockchain-authenticated digital artworks.
