Clarisse Le Guernic is a girl from a city in western France. Before the age of 12, her only knowledge of China came from Disney's animated film Mulan. However, after beginning to learn Chinese in middle school, her curiosity about China grew day by day.
Clarisse admits that initially, due to a lack of understanding, she had no interest in Shanghai. But after truly living in the city, and because she had to participate in her company's cycling activities during an internship, she began spending a lot of time exploring Shanghai by bike. She also needed to research and study Shanghai's history to introduce it to tourists. Gradually, she not only developed a geographical understanding of Shanghai but also learned the stories behind the city.
"When I first came to Shanghai, like most foreigners, I thought it was just a very modern city and didn't understand its history. The history of this city requires deep exploration—the more you learn, the more you love it."
