2004年：它们还在吗? —— 勾勒老城厢
从“东方的塞纳左岸”出发，我们的主人公开始关注整个上海变迁之下的老城厢：在有文字印记的老石碑中发现昔日的上海，见证老城厢里的庙的沉浮变迁，发掘书隐楼背后的故事……一次次的寻访掀起了沉重的记忆之门，探访遗落的经典。
Starting from the "Left Bank of the Oriental Seine",
our heroine began to focus on the remaining old city
in this time of change :
making a discovery by reading the engraved stones,
witnessing the development and changes of old temples,
meeting the last ladies of Shuyin Mansion...
Thus opened the door of the heavy memory,
revealing the forgotten classic.
2006年文汇出版社出版的《从无声开始》之上部《海上绮梦》，详细记录了老城厢的寻访过程。
Her trips are recorded in "A Dream of Shanghai", the first volume of "It Started from Silence", published by Wen Hui Edition in 2006.
“当我开始触摸上海的历史沧桑，抚慰它正在逝去的遗迹，逐渐了解她蕴涵的神秘时……上海城市慢慢从我眼前远去游离，我如同在天上俯瞰一块海滩，朦胧地浮现她的变幻与变迁，一幕幕往事烟云，这是一个创造神话的奇迹般的城市，一个历来由外来人激活的城市，一个魅力与丑恶、骄傲与屈辱、风情与暧昧尽显极至的花花世界。撇开她的浮华，多少人间沧桑故事暗香浮动，如同不尽的漪涟，在历史长河中人的一生是如此的一瞬间。”
When I started to touch the history of Shanghai, and began to feel the existing pieces left from the old time, I tried to discover the secrecy of its beauty... The city, Shanghai, gradually departs in front of me, falling, vanishing... as if I was watching a beach from an outer planet, she shows up with a shape of her change and moves, so vague and unclear. The past, like a misty performance on the stage, ebbs and flows. This is a city which makes magic and mystery, a city which needs to be activated by aliens. It's full of beauty and ugliness; pride and humiliation. It's a vanity fair with consciousness or unconsciousness. Unearth it from the rubble of arrogance, and you will see there are so many life stories performed, like dimpled whirl pools, submerged in the river of history... A life of human being, is just a glimpse of the time...
