It is called nostalgia. I’ve always wish I could have experience old Shanghai during that era. Now I experience it vicariously. I am a 73 ABC born in SF.

I was born in 1947 in Canton City, Republic of China . And lived in the then British HongKong from 1957 to 1969 . I am from an Cantonese-American family of Italian descent. Now I couldn’t say it’s my good old days because I am sad to see many of the very poor . But such songs do bring back many of the good old feelings from a different era. No matter when and where , life is having two sides and depends on your own way . ❤

these are the kind of songs that when you are Chinese, even if you were born in the USA or any other country outside of Asia that you hear, you immediately have a sense of belonging, warmness, and nostalgia.
Glad to hear you feel the same way . Oldies are like precious antiques and they are beautiful . Brings us all back to heaps of fondest old days memories. Thanks so much for organising this allowing us such an enjoyable moment listening to these songs.

are they really shanghainese? I just wander in the bigginging of XX century Putonghua wasn't common in Shanghai. What is the name of singer? I fall in love with this music and want to hear more
Chinese-Cambodian here. We have our version of "Smile At Me Last Night" sung by the legend himself, Sinn Sisamouth. I was born in 2000 and love listening to retro songs. Clearly, I'm in the wrong era haha.
Since somebody sent me this , I have not stopped listening to this every day. I live in Europe now but I remember during my childhood, these song were played very loudly in the neighborhood where I grew up. Not everybody had a radio those days and so people were happy to have that. I missed my motherland and hope to go back one day forever.

Wow, takes me back to 1988 when I visited Hong Kong and was introduced to Chinese culture and music. A never ending love for the Cantonese and Mandarin language. I love China 🇨🇳 and had always hoped to settle there one day but unfortunately never did and still living in South Africa 🇿🇦 谢谢 中国音乐很好听
@@joechan2118 please dont be overly flag-conscious in the most nonsensicle way. During 1920s to 50s hk was not the slightest bit "prosperous" and it was shanghai and guangzhou that were the most hip and chic. Local hk ppl couldnt even be roaming around upscale areas like central not to mention living there coz brits wouldnt allow it. In the early 1940s hk was even occupied by japanese for a lil less than 4 years. not until the 60s through 70s hk started to become a nice business city thanks to the blooming secondary industry. Of course there was profit for the uk to reap in a safe and sound business environment else who'd give a damn about average pooor undereducated locals livelihood under lion rock🤷🏻♂️🤷🏼♂️
@@MY-lk1ih Don't play ambiguity on this issue. Without communism China develop freely and well. But when that flag is hoisted China trapped into over 70 years of tragedies, one after another. Who told you HK is bad during 1920s to 50s? Is it largely base on the fiction movie of Bruce Lee which add provocative nationalism elements just for boosting box office?
@@joechan2118 no ambiguity just think it wasnt the party(with marxist ideologies) but the cultural revolution (tool used by politicians) that wreaked havoc. My ancestors of generations before could still lead comfy lives and enjoy art,music,culture,nice clothing well into early 60s when the ccp was ruling. If china had always adopted a more open door kind of policy(esp in those 2 or 3 decades) she wouldnt be a poor ass developing 2nd world country in the 90s. Btw im not a fan of the party but you gotta be objective and see from different angles. i didnt said hk was "bad" back then but the city was definitely not as literate and flourished in the roaring eras compared to the uk herself, and local folks just didnt have those privileges that we consider to be rights nowadays. There are figures , statistics , pictures and facts to loook into. And why do you think bruce lee's "nationalist" movies were so popular ? Because ppl can relate hmm? I believe its not only chinese but everyone who got/gets bullied, ripped off, insulted, humiliated and discriminated also like em flicks. And lol whats wrong with a chinese person doing nationalist movies? Only hollywood can? with discreet subliminal message instillations? one problem of ccp is that they do shit too obviously .
