At 7:30 AM in Xintiandi, investment banker Li Yuxi adjusts her qipao-inspired power suit before reviewing blockchain contracts. By noon, ceramic artist Zhang Wei hosts a live-stream from her studio in a converted French Concession villa, her modern porcelain designs selling to collectors worldwide before the kiln cools. Come evening, retired ballet dancer turned tech VC partner Sofia Chen negotiates term sheets in Mandarin, English and emoji. These are the faces of Shanghai's feminine revolution - where silk meets silicon, and tradition gets a disruptive upgrade.
