More Description Using published and unpublished sources from Asia, Europe, and North America, Wei has created an impressive study of Shanghai from before its founding as a county at the beginning of the 13th century to 1949, after the entry of the People's Liberation Army. Unlike other histories of the city which focus on foreign influences, Wei pays particular attention to the Chinese contribution to development.
