In the latest edition of Sexy Beijing, Sufei hits Shanghai and asks her psychoanalyst and historian dad if her obsession with Chinese men has anything to do with her relationship with him and his relationship with her mom. Turns out that they have a really fascinating family history! Sufei's grandfather was a practising psychiatrist in Hamburg and his brother was the Chief Rabbi of Augsburg and everyone was forced to flee Nazi Germany when her father was just a baby, so he spent the early years of his life in China (and he's got the pictures to prove it!). As we all know, many Jews chose to come to Shanghai because it was the best and safest place to go on about their business. Of course their party didn't last long but that's another story. But okay we'll quit talking for now so you can go back in time with Sufei into the Shanghai of 1930's.
