About this year, the online circulation of a "mind map of China from Shanghai," Shanghai people to stir up xenophobic old topic.
Recently, the British "Financial Times" Chinese network as a freelance writer Wu Di combines the experience of second-generation immigrants and pointed out that, even if working as senior white-collar workers, there are some "regional fundamentalism. "

Wu Di said’’ the people of Shanghai Map of China" covers China's 34 provinces, municipalities and special administrative region. It is marked as "home" that is naturally Shanghai: The "beggar" probably refers to the northern Jiangsu and Anhui; "excursions and tome sweeping" in Zhejiang; small Wenzhou is labeled as "real estate corporation and manufacturing bases"; "bruiser" of Shandong; "Sandstorm" is Beijing; the northeast is the "crime of violence" of the place; "liar" is concentrated in Henan; a "thief" is in Xinjiang; "danger + a strange language" in Guangdong, Guangxi; "New Year's discount"is the Holy Land, Hong Kong; "tourist spots" in Hainan; "good eat + beautiful crush "should refer to Sichuan;
The so-called "Taiwan sub" means ‘’the rustic and poor countrymen." Many Shanghai people generally believe that the people with Taiwan's Minnan (FuJian) dialect sound like a countryman and behaves like from countryside.

Interestingly, the "heart of Shanghai China Map" spread openly on the Internet. The author before the arrival last year, there are more than a colleague warned the people of Shanghai exclusion, be careful not to be bullied. The mind map of exclusion does exist despite the fact that Shanghai is a city of immigrants, many of the older generation of Shanghai residents were born outside Shanghai, mainly from JiangNan Areas, and a few from Guangdong Province and Shandong Province, all chasing the same piece of land on their goals in life while keeping their own local culture.
However, many Shanghai people speak Shanghai dialect, it is easy to show a sense of superiority, and this sense of superiority in the middle and lower classes are particularly popular among Shanghai residents. Similarly more than one person told the author, the hearts of the people of Shanghai have double standards of measurement to outsiders, one is the "grass roots" category and the other to a "foreign category’’. This means that the exclusion depends on who they are in contact with, foreigners or non-shanghainese,
