PRESS REACTION

There's a new cultural revolution going on in China, at least in Shanghai. Young people in Shanghai are rejecting communist attitudes and turning the city into a hip urban center. The PBS program Frontline World will broadcast a segment called Shanghai Nights tonight. Correspondent Nguyen Qui Duc says he found there are so many neon lights in downtown Shanghai that you need your sunglasses at night. His guide through the underground city was a controversial young writer there named Mian Mian. She took correspondent Nguyen Qui Duc to night clubs and introduced him to her artist friends. Duc met the members of "The Lanterns", an Indie-rock band from Shanghai.
