自從朋友把他在新天地的房子賣掉後，
我就比較少來這了。
以前他就住附近，
我們常常約這邊吃飯、喝咖啡；
偶爾喝個小酒，聽聽爵士樂。
白天還是中式場合，
晚上就變成西式生活了，
就如同新天地裡中西混搭的建築風格一樣。
當年這片區域，一邊是老破小的社區，
一邊是洋氣的步行街，
一條馬路，就隔出了兩個世界。
這幾年還增加了時尚一期、二期，
整片街區都變得更大了～
只是馬當路那家永遠都是人的星巴克不在了，
有些熟悉的餐廳和酒吧也換了招牌，
還好，
那些場景，都還留在記憶里。
而石庫門的外牆還在，
老弄堂的遊客也還在，
午後陽光灑在紅磚上，
喝杯咖啡，看著遊客拍照笑鬧，
忽然覺得，生活就是這樣吧。
有些地方會變，但那份情感不會散。

It’s been years since my friend sold his apartment in Xintiandi,
and honestly, I haven’t visited much since then.
Back in the day, we used to meet here all the time —
dinners, coffee breaks, or the occasional glass of wine with jazz music playing in the background. 🎷
By day, it felt like traditional Shanghai;
by night, it turned into modern chic —
just like Xintiandi itself,
a perfect blend of East and West.
A single street once divided two worlds —
one side old residential blocks,
the other, an international promenade.
Now, the area has expanded with stylish new phases,
but somehow, the old soul remains.
The familiar Starbucks on Madang Road is gone,
some restaurants changed their signs,
yet the Shikumen brick walls still stand,
and the laughter of tourists still fills the lanes.
As afternoon sunlight warms the red bricks,
I sit with a cup of coffee,
watching the world go by. ☕️
Maybe that’s what life is —
things change,
but the memories stay.
