In the past 20 years, the study of Shanghai history has been highly valued in the international academic community, yielding abundant achievements and talented scholars. Among them, Japanese scholars hold a significant position. They established the Shanghai History Research Society as early as 1990. This is a purely grassroots academic organization composed of scholars from various schools and research institutions in Japan who are interested in Shanghai history. They hold regular reading groups, seminars, organize research projects, and publish collections of essays and various works. Scholars from all over Japan raise funds independently to participate in activities, which has continued without interruption to this day. Following Shanghai in the Concession, this is another academic collection published by the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences Press, delving deeply into modern Shanghai's society, culture, and daily life. What is particularly valuable is that all the authors are young scholars from China and Japan who have emerged as rising stars in the study of Shanghai history. They analyze old Shanghai from new perspectives and methods, often differing from conventional views, and will bring readers foreseeable new insights.
