On this cold, winter night Huang, as official artistic director of the government-sponsored Shanghai Song and Dance Ensemble, is rehearsing at a practice hall in the outer suburbs of Shanghai.

Shir Mohammed's weaponless neighbors were robbed with blades to their throats. At 3 a.m. the thieves were at his house, tying up his guest and demanding cash. A businessman in a city of paupers, Shir admits "my guests have money, as do I." Shir's relatives fought back. They stirred into a one-family posse; the running gun battle lasting until dawn. The morning sun chased the robbers to their safe...
