Residence
It's hard to imagine it now, but the French Concession was notorious for
being low rent, for its lawlessness and for the ease with which police and
French officials could be bribed - in contrast to the well-governed areas
dominated by the British. This made it ideal territory for gangsters, including
the king of all Shanghai mobsters, Du Yuesheng, t he right-hand man of
Huang Jinrong (see p.179). For similar reasons, political activists also operated
in this sector - the first meeting of the Chinese Communist Party took place
here in 1921, and both Zhou Enlai and Sun Yatsen, the first provisional
President of the Republic of China after the overthrow of the Qing dynasty,
lived here. The preserved former homes of these two in particular (see p.74)
are worth visiting simply because, better than anywhere else in modern
Shanghai, they give a sense of how the Westerners, and the Westernized, used
to live.
