Shanghai is just like a human being

In Shanghai, Princess 2000 is based on the true story of an Australian-Chinese woman's journey who across more than 80 years of Shanghai's history which is from 1917 to 1998, Lili had ample scope for documenting old-world vocabulary and traditions. But given the fast pace at which Shanghai seems to be morphing, "it's hard to tell people about the past from the present, a European from an authentic Chinese, when both might be dressed identically and speaking the same lingo", Lili says.

Lili thinks shanghai is just like a human being, it has its own life and thought, its own erratic behavior, failures and shortcomings," she presented another reading of contemporary Shanghai in her forthcoming novel, which follows the tumultuous and dramatic history of the Cathay Hotel, from 1929 to the present. Lili says, "I can only attempt to clarify, explain and reflect on the way it is. I don't even like it in certain respects but it is not my place to change anything. I want to read and understand Shanghai for myself, not just imagine it."
