When I was a young boy growing up in West Germany, I bought a magazine called China Reconstructs (now China Today) every month. It was available in the bookstore at the train station in our small town. I would save up my pocket money and buy that magazine and read it from cover to cover. The format was something like A3, quite a bit larger than other local magazines.

    Now, 50 years later, I live in Shanghai. And I'm happy to be reading this magazine again to refresh and relive my memories.
