[quote=SHIRLEYPOPE ,8376]This Chinese phrase means literally "stone framed doors", the name given to the thousand upon thousands of western-style rowhouses built in the maze of small intersecting lanes which run off the main thoroughfares all over Shanghai. They were erected in the early part of the twentieth century to accommodate the masses of Chinese refugees who fled to western concessions for the law and order and the relative safety they offered. Later they housed other refugees, this time westerners: The Russians fleeing the Russian Revolution and later European Jews fleeing Hitler.[/quote]
