Elsia Chu looks out over Xintiandi from her home, bought in 1921 by her father, a successful paper merchant. Her family was evicted during the Cultural Revolution in 1966, and sent to perform manual labor in the countryside. She was given back three tiny rooms in her old house in 1984. "We can never forget what happened," she says. "Everything was turned upside down."
