It enjoyeda small fame as a transshipment port for the sea trade between north andsouth China, but it had yet displayed the talents and advantages for doinglong-distance sea trade. After 1843, Shanghai was forced to be opened tothe world. In less than one hundred years, a fundamental reform happenedon this piece of tiny land. It suddenly changed identity as the first moderncity in China and a well known metropolitan city in the Far East area. Thecultural miracles created by Shanghai raised interests of the complete world.This book tells the legends on how kindling of western civilizations wasintroduced into the foreign settlements in Shanghai during Late Qing period.Based on abundant historical resources and visual tools, author of the bookrepeats the legends with an easy plain language.
