Patte Barham, Senior Editor, TVI Magazine A "LITTLE BIT
OF HISTORY" Shanghai is
China's largest city - nearly 14 million people -
and is one of three centrally administered cities
in the country, the other two being Peking and
Tianjin. It is also one of China's most important
industrial and cultural centres, being host to the
international Shanghai Television Festival. In
1988, there were more than 40 universities,
colleges and higher educational institutions and
200 scientific research institutes, 46 professional
theatrical companies and film industry. Its
industrial output includes steel, machinery,
shipbuilding, textiles, food processing,
petrochemicals and fertilizers, cameras, radio and
television. To most
foreigners Shanghai conjures up stories of
adventurous exaggeration, for it was a dynamic,
violent and colorful city. Most of the European
style quarters of the old International Settlement
and the French Concession areas are now part of the
most modern city in the world. The growth of
Shanghai can be credited to Deng Xiaoping and Jiang
Zemin. President Zemin is pictured above with Troy
Cory in 1988 at the Shanghai TV Festival. The Troy
Cory Show, (Joey Lauren Adams) -- was the first
American entertainment group to perform in China --
after the cultural revolution (1966-1976) came to
an absolute end. Troy Cory was recently honored for
his Harbin, China concert performances, by the Los
Angeles County Board of Supervisors, Michael
Antonovich, Mayor of the LA County. 3.
Editor's Note
/ French,
British and American Settlements Shanghai is one
of the world's largest seaports. The name Shanghai
- 'on the sea' - was first used in 960, but it
remained a backward fishing village. It was not
until 1554 that the town was surrounded by a 21
feet high crenellated city wall and a moat to
protect it against the frequent incursion of
Japanese pirates. By the 17th century there were
signs of growing wealth, but when the British
troops stormed its undefended walls in 1842,
Shanghai was still only a county town of little
importance. By 1863 the international Settlement
formed by the Americans and British increased to an
area of about 5500 acres. The French Concession was
established on164 acres and by the end of the 19th
century the Japanese also had secured a concession.
These foreign settlements administered themselves
and were outside Chinese government
jurisdiction. The old Chinese
city, occupied by elements of the Taiping rebels -
the Dagger Society - between 1853 and 1855 became
the scene of lawlessness and fighting. The
nationwide upheavels in the 20th century took their
toll on Shanghai's millions. Hundred of thousand
Chinese poured into the foreign settlement for
protection - and stayed on. Nevertheless, Shanghai
continued to flourish as an entrepot with its
staple export of tea and silk. The foreigners
life-style was grand and lavish for those who could
afford to participate in clubs, race meetings,
paper chases and nightclubs. Chinese secret
societies controlled the seamy side of Shanghai
life, and the city was the Hollywood of China with
a thriving movie industry. Climatically,
Shanghai has the monsoon characteristics common to
most of the east coast region, with its
concentration of rainfall in the spring and summer.
The annual average is 45 in. of precipitation.
Weather variability is provided by the frequent
cyclonic storms moving eastward along the Yangtze
valley, especially in the spring. Shanghai's
latitude is almost as far south as that of New
Orleans, so that summers are uncomfortably hot and
humid. Summer temperatures are kept below 90' F by
rains for part of July and August, and they seldom
rise above 98', but humidity averages 84% for this
period. In winter humidity drops to about 30% and
absolute minimum temperature to 13'. The weather in
October is warm and
sunny. Troy
