Answer 2

It means petty urbanite. Xiao Shimin is associated with the lane-alley dwellings or Lilong of Shanghai residential spaces

Explanation:

• In Shanghai, China, chronic housing shortages & rapid rise in population all thru the 19th century produced 2 of city's "prominent urban forms"; "shack settlements" or Penghu qu and "lane-alley dwellings" or Lilong. A significant number of industraial workers had resided in Lilong side by side with people of  different social types
• To reside in an lane alley had become an "identifying" marker of an authentic "Shanghai Resident". A Xiao Shimin or "petty urbanite" was a term which comprised secretaries, office clerks, housewives, small merchants, and the elderly with whom they had resided.
• To be a Xiao Shimin in Shanghai and to live  in a Lilong indicated "authenticity" as a "Shanghai person" and had accorded status as an "urban citizen"
