The Great World Shanghai / 大世界
The Great World / 大世界 is an amusement arcade and entertainment complex located in Shanghai. Built in 1917 on the corner of Avenue Edward VII (now Yan'an Road) and Yu Ya Ching Road (now Middle Xizang Road), it was the first and for a long time the most influential indoor amusement arcade in Shanghai, so much so that it spawned imitations all over China. It had gained a reputation as the “No. 1 Entertainment Venue in the Far East.”
While the traditional style entertainment offered by the Great World today faces great competition from newer forms of entertainment and electronic media, it remains an important tourist attraction popular with visitors to Shanghai from other parts of China.
Such is the influence of Great World, that its Chinese name (Da Shijie) has become the name of a locality in its vicinity, Dashijie. Dashijie Station, on Line 8 of the Shanghai Metro is located nearby and is named after Great World.
The Great World opened on 14 July 1917, the brainchild of Shanghai magnate Huang Chujiu. It was built as an integrated entertainment complex featuring amusement arcades, parlour games, music hall shows, variety shows and traditional Chinese theatre. Great World was rebuilt in 1928 in an eclectic style borrowing largely from European baroque, topped by a distinctive four-storey tower which quickly became a landmark. In 1931, Great World changed hands, bought out by another magnate, Huang Jinrong.
On 14 August 1937 it was the site of the Great World bombing, or Black Saturday. It was the second day of the Battle of Shanghai between the Republic of China and the Empire of Japan. Great World had thrown open its doors for refugees fleeing the fighting in the Chinese and Japanese zones of the city for the relative safety of the Shanghai International Settlement (where Great World was located). Two bombs from a damaged Republic of China Air Force bomber were accidentally released and exploded in front of Great World. The pilot, fearing the plane would crash, had intended to release the bombs into the large uninhabited space of the nearby Shanghai Race Course, but the bombs were released too early. About two thousand people, made up of shoppers, passers-by, and refugees who were standing outside Great World, were killed or injured.
After the Communist takeover of Shanghai in 1949, Great World was renamed People's Amusement Arcade, but reverted to the old name in 1958. Closed during the Cultural Revolution, in 1974 the site became the Shanghai Youth Palace. On 25 January 1981, Great World was re-established, and renamed Great World Entertainment Centre.
The basic layout of the complex has remained the same since the 1928 rebuilding. While the entertainment options have been updated over the years (with motion pictures early on and karaoke more recently, for example), some elements remain the same. One legendary feature is the series of distorting mirrors near the entrance, which have provided simple entertainment to visitors for close to a century.
In its heyday, Great World's main attractions were vaudeville, various regional forms of traditional Chinese opera, and Chinese folk art forms. It was also famous for the twelve distorting magic mirrors imported from the Netherlands in the lobby area.
Writing of his visit in the mid-1930s, Hollywood film director Josef von Sternberg described, On the first floor were gaming tables, singsong girls, magicians, pick-pockets, slot machines, fireworks, birdcages, fans, stick incense, acrobats, and ginger. One flight up were… actors, crickets and cages, pimps, midwives, barbers, and earwax extractors. The third floor had jugglers, herb medicines, ice cream parlors, a new bevy of girls, their high collared gowns slit to reveal their hips, and (as a) novelty, several rows of exposed (Western) toilets. The fourth floor had shooting galleries, fan-tan tables, … massage benches, … dried fish and intestines, and dance platforms. The fifth floor featured girls with dresses slit to the armpits, a stuffed whale, storytellers, balloons, peep shows, masks, a mirror maze, two love letter booths with scribes who guaranteed results, rubber goods, and a temple filled with ferocious gods and joss sticks. On the top floor and roof of that house of multiple joys a jumble of tightrope walkers slithered back and forth, and there were seesaws, Chinese checkers, mahjongg, … firecrackers, lottery tickets, and marriage brokers.
Now there is theater, music hall, Guinness hall, movie hall, video hall, magic world, dancing hall, KTV, tea house and ski field and so on. There is also the new Shanghai flavor snack corridor, restaurant and boutique market and so on. The Shanghai Great World is a playing center with entertainment, performance, viewing, food and sports and so on.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

Communists, Nationalists, and China's Revolutions: Crash Course World History #37
Don't forget! Crash Course posters and t-shirts at
In which John Green teaches you about China's Revolutions. While the rest of the world was off having a couple of World Wars, China was busily uprooting the dynastic system that had ruled there for millennia. Most revolutions have some degree of tumult associated with them, but China's 20th century revolutions were REALLY disruptive. In 1911 and 1912, Chinese nationalists brought 3000 years of dynastic rule to an end. China plunged into chaos as warlords staked out regions of the country for themselves. The nationalists and communists joined forces briefly to bring the nation back together under the Chinese Republic, and then they quickly split and started fighting the Chinese Civil War. The fight between nationalists and communists went on for decades, and was interrupted by an alliance to fight the invading Japanese during World War II. After the World War II ended, the Chinese Civil War was back on. Mao and the communists were ultimately victorious, and Chiang Kai-Shek ended up in Taiwan. And then it got weird. Mao spent years repeatedly trying to purify the Communist Party and build up the new People's Republic of China with Rectifications, Anti Campaigns, Five Year Plans. the Great Leap Forward, and the Cultural Revolution. These had mixed results, to say the least. John will cover all this and more in this week's Crash Course World History.
Crash Course is now available on DVD!

上海故事 - 快乐的大世界(上)
大世界曾经是上海最大的室内游乐场,始建于1917年,新中国建立后,大世界一度曾改名为“人民游乐场”,1958年又恢复了原名,大世界有演出剧场、影剧院,每天不间断地轮流上演南北戏曲、歌舞、杂技、魔术等节目,而且,演出的节目丰富多彩,极具民族性、观赏性和娱乐性,许多市民至今依然记得,只要买一张门票就可以尽情地在里面游玩一天,在那个文化娱乐生活匮乏的年代,大世界成了众多上海市民和外地游客娱乐和游玩首选地,而像王志文一样的文艺青年也通过大世界走向了更大的舞台。

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
With stellar goal-keeping and a mighty kick from Steel Leg (Stephen Chow), Team Evil is blown away.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
One of Hong Kong's top screen comics, Stephen Chow, co-wrote, co-directed, and headlines this three-way blend of sports, action, and humor. Sing (Stephen Chow) is a modern-day Shaolin monk who has become a master of traditional fighting skills, and is renowned for his leg of steel. However, these days there isn't much call for a Shaolin warrior, and Sing and his fellow monks earn their keep working menial jobs until a soccer coach gets the bright idea of translating Sing's talent for kicking to the soccer field. Sing becomes the lynchpin of a team playing in a tournament that could net them a $1 million purse, but even with Sing's footwork, beating the steroid-fueled champions will be no easy task. Shaolin Soccer also features Man Tat Ng and Vicki Zhao.

How To Fold Fancy Wonton Dumpling In Shanghai, China
I had a bowl of big and plump wonton soup in Shanghai, China. There are big and small wontons but try the big ones. They are filled with chopped veggies and minced pork.

WONTON DUMPLING IN SHANGHAI, CHINA
The broth is delicious too with with fragrant spices. To get here, take the subway and get off at Dashijie Station. Follow Yunnan Rd. food street all the way until you reach Renmin Street. Renmin Street just extends from Yunnan Rd., so you just keep going for another minute. It's on your right. I'll be doing a recipe for this wonton in the future. Just need to figure out what some of the spices are. Enjoy!
