Were you already familiar with the Shanghai Tunnels and the practice of being crimped or “shanghaied”? What is the most interesting thing you learned about the topic?
I was familiar with the expression of being Shanghaied. I would be interested in visiting the tunnels. I wonder how many Chinese are still sent away for forced labor.
I was unaware of anyone being shangied or of tunnels.
I knew the expression “to be shanghaied.” The existence of the tunnels was the most interesting thing to me.
I did not k ow anything about the tunnels before reading this book. A fascinating bit of history that should come to light.
I was familiar with the term Shanghaid, but not the original meaning. And crimped was another thing I had t read about.
Yes, I was familiar with the historical stories about these tunnels. Ruthless!
I had never heard of the tunnels. Quite interesting to read about. I would have preferred to have less twists & turns in the plot and more focus on the historical part of the story.
