Summary "Bizarre Happenings Eyewitnessed Over Two Decades" by Jianren Wu is a collection of personal anecdotes or observations likely written in the late 19th century. The text appears to delve into a range of unusual, intricate events and experiences witnessed by the narrator over two decades, particularly focusing on societal changes in Shanghai. At the start of the narrative, the author introduces a bustling scene in Shanghai, highlighting the city's vibrant social life and the constant interactions that revolve around networking and personal connections. The narrator reflects on their own transformation over the years, having once participated in the lively yet superficial activities of society, to a more seasoned outlook marked by survival from past treacheries. The opening sets the stage for a series of bizarre events intertwined with personal growth, as the narrator stands on the brink of a deeper exploration into the complexities of human behavior and societal norms in a rapidly changing urban landscape.
