“Remember that tall white paper hat his father wore during the Cultural Revolution? That was the worst luck imaginable, casting a shadow onto Fu as well,” Old Root commented during the evening talk of Red Dust Lane. “He had to have something to cap it. Now look at that British cap.

In June and July, inflation hit double digits and prices soared. Shanghai, like some other large cities, experienced a wave of panic buying.

This year also witnessed the beginning of the normalization of Sino-Soviet relations.
