Dear Traveler, Welcome to the WanderStories™ History of Shanghai as told by the best local guide. Welcome to Shanghai, the largest city proper in both China and the world. It is one of the major financial centers for Asia and home to one of the world’s busiest ports. Its history goes back for thousands of years, though it is perhaps not until the last thousand or so that Shanghai has been of any significance except to its inhabitants. For centuries a major administrative, shipping, and trading town, Shanghai grew in importance in the 19th century due to European recognition of its favorable port location and economic potential. The city was one of several opened to foreign trade following the British victory over China in the First Opium War, which allowed the establishment of the Shanghai International Settlement. The city then flourished as a center of commerce between East and West, and became the undisputed financial hub of the Asia Pacific in the 1930s. Today, Shanghai is a popular tourist destination. It has been described as the showpiece of the booming economy of China. There is only one thing to do now – visit! We, at WanderStories™, are storytellers.

Excerpt from Some Pages in the History of Shanghai, 1842-1856: A Paper Read Before the China Society on May 23, 1916 Thirty odd years ago, life at Shanghai was, perhaps, not so strenuous as it has since become, and the British Vice Consulate was not so busy but that there were half-hours in which other work than that of the day could be taken in hand. As much of the ordinary work, related to the tenure of land within the Settlement, this subject naturally excited my interest, especially owing to the existence of two counter-forces, of which the one impelled natives to acquire land within the Settlement intended for foreigners, While the other drove foreigners to live outside their own Settlement. In the one case, the cause was the desire to secure the immunities and advantages which were to be obtained by living in territory controlled and policed by foreigners. In the other, the motive was to get away from the bustle and stir of the busy port, and to enjoy a country life outside of office hours. In both cases there was added the excitement of the knowledge that the purchase of property was an} extremely good speculation, and that the tendency was towards a constant advancement of values in spite of occasional waves of depression.

Word Origin and History of Shanghai:"A port in east China, capital of Shanghai municipality (traditionally in southeast Jiangsu) near the estuary of the Yangtze; the largest city in China and one of the largest ports in the world; a major cultural and industrial centre, with many universities. Population: 12,665,000 (2005 estimate)."Chinese seaport, literally 'by the sea', from Shang 'on, above' + hai 'sea'. In the 19th century, a long-legged breed of hens, supposed to have come from there; hence US slang senses relating to long, tall persons or things."http://www.dictionary.com/browse/shanghaiWilliam LG Smith; Observations on China and the Chinese; Carleton; 1863William LG Smith writes: "The native city is called Shanghai from its locality. The name is a compound of two Chinese characters translated shang and hai, and correspond in meaning with the English words above and water. The city is situate in latitude 31 degrees 12 minutes north, and longitude 121 degrees 28 minutes east from Greenwich, on the Wangpoo river, near its junction with the Soochoo creek, and twelve miles above the intersection of the Woosung river with the Yangtze, and fifty miles from the sea. The Wangpoo river and the Soochoo creek when united, form the Woosung. Vessels drawing twenty-two feet of water can cross the bar at the mouth of the Woosung, at spring tide, and come up to the harbor. The tides, however, are so strong, and the channel so tortuous at some points, that it is necessary to take a pilot."

This volume provides a historical narrative, historiographical reviews, and scholarly analyses by leading scholars throughout the world on the hitherto understudied topic of Shanghai Jewish refugees. Few among the general public know that during the Second World War, approximately 16,000 to 20,000 Jews fled the Nazis, found unexpected refuge in Shanghai, and established a vibrant community there. Though most of them left Shanghai soon after the conclusion of the war in 1945, years of sojourning among the Chinese and surviving under the Japanese occupation generated unique memories about the Second World War, lasting goodwill between the Chinese and Jews, and contested interpretations of this complex past. The volume makes two major contributions to the studies of Shanghai Jewish refugees. First, it reviews the present state of the historiography on this subject and critically assesses the ways in which the history is being researched and commemorated in China. Second, it compiles scholarship produced by renowned scholars, who aim to rescue the history from isolated perspectives and look into the interaction between Jews, Chinese, and Japanese.
