FOR many native residents of Shanghai in their middle advanced years,the stampede at the Lujiazui ferry on December 10,1987,that killed 66 is a memory too painful to let go.On the morning of that fateful day,the ferry service on the Huangpu River,which divides the city into Pudong and Puxi,was suspended for hours due to heavy fog.When it resumed,tens of thousands of anxious passengers from Pudong who had jobs in Puxi jostled to take the boat,resulting in a stampede killing dozens and injuring many more.
