This essay shows the description of how the commercial aspects in the news propagating and the materialistic dimensions of modernization since 1870’s have shaped the intellectual circles in Shanghai and the culture of “Shanghai-style.” Analyzing: how the images of Paris, as are presented in the “exterritorial” novel of literary monthly of Shen bao press ---Night and Morning--- have injected brand new elements and variables to the place-based writings of Shanghai urban, and they created the translating modes of multiculture and intertextuality. From the issues shown, we are made to “re-evaluate”: the modern urban space and the female self-realizations in these writings of “Yangchang Caizi” (talented intellectuals in the Shanghai International Settlement) have reflected the novelty of international city; and also how the modern signs of the changes of female positions have both made new place-based imaginations possible and completed the changes and variations of Late-Qing Shanghai-style literature.
