Come Dance With Me

Lai Lai Ballroom has gained its fame in the past two decades within Shanghai’s gay community. It is particularly popular among middle-aged and elderly gay men. This place opens its arms to men with all kinds of stories: a monk who yields to his own desire, an HIV-positive individual who hides from one hurting relationship to another, and a transgender person making a living with breast prostheses. They find a moment of comfort and understanding here, before returning to what life expects of them in the real world. In May 2018, this place was closed. Nobody knows whether it will ever re-open to those who miss it.

Flowers of Shanghai

At the end of the 19th century, Shanghai is divided into several foreign concessions. In the British concession, a number of luxurious “flower houses” are reserved for the male elite of the city. Since Chinese dignitaries are not allowed to frequent brothels, these establishments are the only ones that these men can visit. They form a self-contained world, with its own rites, traditions and even its own language. The men don’t only visit the houses to frequent the courtesans but also to dine, smoke opium, play mahjong and relax. The women working there are known as the “flowers of Shanghai”.
