Once a small port, Shanghai became a hub of international trade and intrigue after the Opium Wars, with foreign powers controlling much of its industry. As civil war and Japanese occupation loomed, the city was full of both opportunity and danger. Join College of DuPage history professor Maria Ritzema for a look at this complex era—the dramatic backdrop of Chloe Gong’s Foul Lady Fortune.
