A subdivided storefront - a photo on Flickriver

53 Qingdao Rd., Shanghai

I photographed this storefront (flic.kr/p/2nzTDop) in the summer of 2022. Over three years on, there have been some subtle changes here.

The section on the right is for selling vegetables. The yellow lettering on the red paper in the shop says ‘Butterfly Crisp’, which means Palmier (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmier). Three years ago, at the end of 2021, a film based on life in Shanghai was released in China, and it was a big hit. Even I didn't see it, I know that one of the plot points of the film was that one of the female characters liked to buy palmiers. As a result of this plot point, palmiers became a hot item in many pastry shops in Shanghai, with many non-Shanghai tourists even queuing up for more than four hours just to buy a bag of palmiers, a food item that before then was virtually unknown in China except for old Shanghainese people. This in turn led to many businesses that didn't sell palmiers to start selling them, but three years on, the palmier craze has cooled off and this vegetable shop is now selling them.

The left side has not changed much from three years ago. There are two pieces of white paper taped to the glass door with a tip about selling tea - the tea should be in the cupboard behind the door. In addition, two pieces of paper on the glass window contain information about rental properties and the agent's mobile phone number.

The lintel of the shop is full of small adverts for roller shutters, which didn't exist three years ago.
