Synopsis "Rediscover Shanghai on the Yangzi Delta: A Historical Dictionary of China's Most Important City, from A to Z."
This new book is based on the text from two previous books I wrote about this city, Discover Shanghai (2010), and Shanghai and the Yangzi Delta (2004), both issued by the same publisher in Singapore. This current project started in October 2017. It was originally intended to be simply a reprint or reissue of the previous volumes without any changes, but instead evolved into a more than year-long complete update and revision of the text that lasted throughout all of 2018 and on into the Spring Festival of 2019. The new text has been completely updated and revised, and is now fully bilingual with both phonetic pinyin and Chinese characters provided for Chinese names of significant people, places, and events.The text begins with an introductory historical narrative in chronological order.After that the contents are presented in alphabetical order from A to Z, as they were in Discover Shanghai (2010), hence the subtitle, "A Historical Dictionary of China's Most Important City." The Appendix includes a list of Shanghai's mayors and a historical street index which can be used to match the present-day street names with the names they had before 1949. There all new photos that have never been published before. However, the text has become so long that most of the photos will need to be in a separate Volume II.This Vol. I contains an appendix containing a collection of historic maps of Shanghai.
