the jews in shanghai
From 1933 to 1941, Shanghai became a modern-day "Noah's Ark" accepting around 30,000 Jewish refugees fleeing the Holocaust in Europe. In the "Designated Area for Stateless Refugees" in Tilanqiao area of shanghai, 25,000 Jewish refugees lived harmoniously with local citizens, overcoming numerous difficulties together. By the time the WW2 ended in 1945, most of the Jewish refugees had survived. In the "Tilanqiao Historic Area" , the original features of the Jewish settlement are still well preserved. They are the only historic traces of Jewish refugee life inside China during the Second World War.
these historical buildings may be about disappearing.

There are various Hot Wheels castings you'd expect to be copied by scores of lower end Chinese toy companies and there are some which are very unexpected! I was definitely rather surprised to see a knock off of their Tesla Cybertruck and one which has been done to a credible standard.
That absolutely unmistakeable triangular styling has been captured very well for an unlicensed effort and even runs to plastic being used for its strip headlights!

Despite its rather odd SUV style appearance and proportions i'm probably right in saying this is supposed to represent a Porsche 917 KH and is almost certainly a Hot Wheels copy. Made by a company called Chang Yang Toys its part of a series of low end unlicensed castings, mainly copies, though of fairly decent quality. Proportionally challenged it might well be its still well finished in metallic silver and does feature a very basic interior.

Very likely to have been copied initially from the original Hot Wheels Ferrari 488 GTB Liberty Walk though in typical cheapo Chinese fashion its probably been copied directly from a similar casting currently made by Zhongqun!
Not as bad quality wise as you might expect from something which cost so little with a nice glossy metallic bronze finish plus a basic interior and a little bit of detailing.

Clay seals for letters and documents; Qin and Han Dynasties (221 BCE - 220 CE); inscriptions read "magistrate of Changyang 昌陽丞印", "seal of guard of Qi 齊衛士印", "minister of marquis of Yingling 营陵侯相", "superintendent of Dongping mausoleum 東平陵丞". Marks of knots and bamboo slips on the back.
Even non-Chinese readers would be able to compare the strokes of the characters with contemporary versions shown above. Remember the columns read from right to left.

Thanks to its unmistakeable outrageous styling it was easy to identify this unlicensed cheapo Chinese casting as being based on a Lamborghini Terzo Millenio. According to the packaging it was made by Chang Yang Toy Factory, a company more known for their Hot Wheels copies though in this instance this may well be an original.
Its certainly not the most accurate of 1/64 Terzo Millenio diecasts but its certainly the cheapest and unlike the licensed Maisto equivalent it does actually possess an interior!

Until this model arrived recently the only G29 generation BMW Z4 in my collection were the ones made by MSZ for their Cool Chic Auto range. Whether this example made by Chang Yang is a copy or original i've no idea though the company does have a reputation for making Hot Wheels knock offs!
You won't be surprised to read that its an unlicensed casting but that doesn't mean it isn't quite realistic, the front area is particularly well cast and accurate with painted lights and grille. Finished in a metallic blue paint colour which is both glossy and well applied.

Almost certainly a cheapened chunky copy of the original Hot Wheels 2017 Ford GT and a casting which fits in well with the other copies made by Chang Yang. Its unlicensed so don't expect full accuracy or badging but unlike a lot of similar priced no names from China it does possess an interior and a high level of fit and finish.

Whilst a lot of my cheapo Chinese knock offs still come from AliExpress I've now returned to Temu in search of more interesting ranges not available on the former website. My recent purchase was a 12 vehicle set which appears to consist mainly of unlicensed Hot Wheels copies like this rather crude Audi R8 LMS.
According to the packaging its made by a company called Chang Yang, yet another new brand for my collection, and in all fairness its quality and build are acceptable for the very low price point.

Another new Chinese diecast brand to add to the collection and yet another one which has gone down the route of blatantly copying Hot Wheels castings. In all fairness Chang Yang have done a decent job in replicating the original Hot Wheels Lamborghini Centenario Roadster, its easily recognisable without the need for badging due to being crisply cast.

I'm sure Zhongqun probably copied another toy manufacturer for their unlicensed Koenigsegg One : 1, i've no idea which one though, but it seems their version has now been copied by a company called Chang Yang! The sheer and blatant levels of copying just makes things really confusing for the small amount of collectors who are into such things.
This Chang Yang product does differ slightly from the Zhongqun equivalent by being slightly more crude in its execution and different wheels though again quality and realism is more than acceptable for its low price point.

Take your pick on what this casting is copied from though my gut feeling tells me its probably been "inspired" by the Hot Wheels Mercedes-AMG GT on account that Chang yang do have various other HW knock offs in their arsenal.
Lightweight and unlicensed but strangely appealing thanks in part to its painted external detailing and glossy metallic green finish which is leagues ahead of cheapo Chinese diecasts of old.

...on Changyang Lu. Also known as the Tilanqiao Prison.
Side view only. Photos of the magnificent art deco main entrance are forbidden. I found it very cool to walk around this old building. It's actually a complex of buildings right in the middle of the former Jewish quarter and just a block from a Buddhist Nunnery. There is (on the Saturday I was there) a bird and flower market in the shadow of the prison.
The prison itself has that great Art Deco entrance and many of the buildings are in a minimalist deco style. Guards, with guns visible, man the corner watch towers and inmate's laundry hangs from/in the cell windows.
We walked up to the main gate and asked to see the prison museum or take a tour. We were politely told that tours are for "official tour groups only". Hmm. It's possible.
More weird and wonderful Hot Wheels copies courtesy of a company called Chang Yang Toys based in China. Despite its fairly crude appearance i'm confident this casting is supposed to represent a McLaren Senna and one which wears a colour scheme which reminds me a little bit of the GULF livery.
Lightweight but robust its a typical disposable toy and unlikely to be EVER considered collectible.

You see them almost immediately as you emerge from the Dalian Road Metro station along Changyang Road, a jarring picture against the late afternoon sun.
Two men were perched precariously on top of a roof ledge, swinging their thin hammers to break up, brick by brick, yet another old house. Hongkou is a very old district in Shanghai and is largely known as the former Jewish Quarters as a result of a flood of Jewish refugees into Shanghai during World War II.
What was immediately disconcerting was the way the demolition was taking place. It was incredibly manual and alarmingly dangerous. Most building construction (ground up) have basic scaffolding and even if they seldom meet onerous Western standards in the same industry, attempts are made to provide basic safety beyond a rickety plastic helmet.
Demolition is altogether a different matter. They are often outsourced with little proper supervision or regard for basic safety since the objective is to just flatten everything and have the debris carted away. An engineer would have surveyed the land to identify public water or sewage pipelines to avoid but otherwise, the task is left to workers with instructions to hack from morning to night.
