A Pictorial Album Of New Shanghai was complied on the occasion of the golden jubilee of the founding of the People's Republic of China and the 50th anniversary of Shanghai's liberation. The book records the steps the people of Shanghai have taken together with those of the country and of the times. It is a book dedicated to the people of Shanghai and all those who have cared for and given support to Shanghai's vigorous development. And it should also be a good vehicle to present Shanghai to our foreign friends.
