Shanghai Book

With his last breath, Chinaâ??s First Emperor, Qâ??in She Huang, entrusts his followers with a sacred task.

Of them all, two familiesâ??locked in a rivalry that will last for generationsâ??will be central to the evolution of the city. As history marches on, locals and foreign interlopers clash and intertwine; their combined fates shaping what will become the centrepiece of the new Chinaâ??Shanghai.Read More
