The flagship store of Duoyun Academy on the 52nd floor of Shanghai Center
"Duoyun" refers to Duoyun Academy. The full name of "Sinan" is sinan literature house.
You can interpret the title of the article geographically.
So far, there are three colleges in Shanghai with the title "Duoyun", one is a flagship store on the 52nd floor of Shanghai Center in Pudong, one is a Duoyun Academy at the Guangfulin Ruins in Songjiang, and the other is a drama shop on Changle Road in the city center. The poetry shop on Gaolan Road in the city center is under the command of Sinan Bookstore. If it is a little reluctant to describe the flagship store in Pudong and the Guangfulin Ruins store in Songjiang as the neighbors of sinan literature house, then the sinan literature house with the house number of No. 505 Fuxing Middle Road stands between the poetry store and the drama store.
If this title were to sum up the reading activities I participated in in 2021, it would be appropriate. In this year, for those reading-related activities that I am enthusiastic about, although I have visited the Shanghai Library and Dayin Bookstore on Huaihai Middle Road, the Jiantou Bookstore on the Huangpu River, the Shanghai Bookstore and Shanghai Ancient Books Bookstore on Fuzhou Road, and so on, I have signed in the most" and "Duoyun" and "Sinan".
Small but beautiful poetry shop
Once, I was a drama fan. Thinking back to that year, I enthusiastically followed the dramas performed on the Shanghai stage, and the dramas of that year never disappointed me, such as "Anthony and Cleopatra" performed at the Long March Theater, "The Miser" performed at the Ruijin Theater, "The Physicist" performed at the Shanghai Theater Academy Theater, "The Left-behind Lady" performed at the Liberation Theater, and so on, all of which have become treasures in my memory. Later, for a long time, dramas were squeezed to the margins by film and television dramas that were more likely to attract audiences. When the play re-entered the room, I found that it was not what I liked, so I had not watched the play for many years. On the afternoon of April 10, 2021, Duoyun Academy Drama Shop held an event, "'The Dust Settles': From Literature to Drama, How to Reproduce History Poetically". I went to the event site for Alai's novel "Dust Settled", and the guests made me further understand the literary value of "Dust Settled" and at the same time made me realize that I may have misunderstood the shanghai drama stage. Listening to their emotional recounting of the adaptation of "Dust Settled" from a novel into a play, I immediately decided to go to the "Duoyun" theater store the next afternoon, because an event with the theme of "Our Distance from The Drama" would start there.
On the afternoon of April 11, the "Distance Between Us and Drama", led by Mr. Sun Huizhu, a professor at the Shanghai Theater Academy, completely reversed my attitude towards the Shanghai Drama Stage, so after that, I began to go in and out of the theater where the drama was performed. Interestingly, as if to reward me for falling in love with drama again, the last event of 2021 of the "Duoyun" drama store is about drama, called "Stage Presentation of Russian Works - Special Event to Commemorate the Two Hundredth Anniversary of Dostoevsky's Birth". Of course, I didn't want to live up to the beauty of "Duoyun", braving the belated but particularly cold winter days, I don't know if it was the first time in 2021, I went to the "Duoyun" drama store. The event, co-hosted by Mr. Qian Shijin, the first artistic director of the Shanghai Grand Theatre, and Li Xinmei, associate professor of the Department of Russian at Fudan University, is actually to imagine with us the musical "The Brothers Karamazov", which will be launched at the Shanghai Grand Theatre in June 2022. Mr. Qian Shijin can introduce famous musicals such as "Phantom of the Theater", "Cat", "Les Misérables", "Mamma Mia" and other famous musicals to Shanghai, and he is a literary lover of his age who has a special love for Russian literature, but nevertheless, Mr. Qian is also difficult to guess what "The Brothers Karamazov" will look like after it becomes a musical. So, how would Teacher Li Xinmei, who had already broken up Dostoevsky's original work and turned it into a part of his own thoughts, predict the musical "Brothers Karamazov"? Who knows, after being too familiar with the novel "The Brothers Karamazov", Teacher Li Xinmei was more cautious than Mr. Qian Shijin. As a result, the last event of the "Duoyun" drama store in 2021 ended with a big suspense.

In fact, every activity of the "Duoyun" drama store can stir up ripples in the hearts of the participants. The event about Japanese writer Tatsuo Hori's novel "The Wind Rises, Naeho" reminded me of the "Wind and Snow Dusk" starring Momoe Yamaguchi and Tomokazu Miura; the premiere of the simplified version of the "Crazy Adam Trilogy" Chinese, queen of Canadian literature and Booker Prize winner Margaret Atwood, made me really feel the cautionary role of literature... In particular, I can't forget a movie I watched there in the summer, a film based on the novel of the same name by the Irish writer Correy Barrett, "The Young Man of Granbee", the pain of adolescence caused by the gray sky, the ruined neighborhoods, and the "joint" of the murderous people, I can't let go of it for a long time, and the so-called artistic charm probably refers to this effect.
The "Duoyun" drama store in 2021 gave me many unforgettable moments! The "Duoyun" flagship store and sinan literature home, which also left my whereabouts, have never failed me.
"Top of Shanghai Book Club: What Young People Writing Novels Are Thinking" made me see that a group of young writers such as Zhou Jianning and Wang Zhanhei were trying to use their records to leave the Shanghai they saw at this moment for the future Shanghai.
Mr. Zhongwei, a senior inscription expert at the Shanghai Library, gave a wonderful speech, and used the kung fu practiced by "the bench to be cold for ten years" to build a 2-hour high-altitude "golden stone room" for the listeners.
Novelist Zhao Song and poet Hu Sang are so eager and eager to share with readers the joy of reading from the 90 best short story collections in the world published by The Shanghai Jiujiu Readers.
The event, named after the launch of Mr. Liu Zheng's new book "The Established Collection", allowed the readers present to see the cuteness of literary critics in a pleasant atmosphere.

In addition to gaining insights in the activities of "Duoyun" and "Sinan", I also gained one touch after another. Mr. Xu, who is too old to be old, is a loyal fan of Sinan Literature House. Since February 2014, the Sinan Reading Club of Sinan Literature House has held 381 sessions, and Mr. Xu has almost participated in it without landing. Mr. Xu, who has retired, also likes to travel, and in order not to miss the Sinan Reading Club, Mr. Xu will try to avoid being out of Shanghai on Saturday afternoons. That time, the plane back to Shanghai arrived at Hongqiao Airport on Saturday morning, and after getting off the plane, Mr. Xu simply dragged his suitcase straight to No. 505 Fuxing Middle Road.

The movie "Love Myth" is being screened across the country. A small-budget art film written and directed by a post-90s Shanxi girl with a Shanghai background unexpectedly received wave after wave of praise. I watched the film for the first time after the release of the film, and I also liked to recommend this Shanghainese film to my friends all over the country online and offline. The little girl who has only lived in Shanghai for 6 years has taken full advantage of "watching the fire from the other side", and expressed the Shanghai style that we have lived in for a long time and become insensitive in a trickle. Yes, the film's important scene Yongkang Road is very Shanghai, and the main characters of the film, Miss Li, Gloria, Bei Bei, Lao Bai and Lao Wu, are all very Shanghainese men and women. However, just as Shanghai women cannot all fail in marriage like the three heroines in "Love Myth", this film that makes the Shanghai screen so real can only "record" one side and one aspect of the real life of Shanghai citizens. As long as it is a reading activity, whether it is in the flagship store of Duoyun Academy in Pudong, the Duoyun Academy in songjiang Guangfulin Ruins, or the Drama Shop of Duoyun Academy and the Poetry Shop of Duoyun Academy, not to mention the reading club of Sinan Literature House with stronger appeal, it can always recruit enough loyal listeners - I want to say that the reading enthusiasts who share joy and sorrow with the guests on the podium in "Duoyun" and "Sinan" are also a scenery in Shanghai.
