I used to maintain a website about Shanghai, shanghaisoup.com, from which I constructed my screen name, Gary Soup. For a number of reasons, I have let that website expire. However, the site had one popular feature, a collection of Zhou Xuan song files, which I have decided to keep on-line because they have brought joy to quite a few people and hopefully, will to more. Consider them authentic Shanghainese dinner music!

I haven't come up with reasonable translations for these titles, but here are some more songs anyway. If any can provide me with a good translation for any of the song titles, please email me at garyATeatingchineseDOTorg..
