Features: Shanghai in the 20th century witnessed countless cases, both big and small, many of which were little-known major cases, murder cases, bloody cases, and bizarre cases. This book selectively records 29 cases that made headlines at the time, including "The Political Blood Case of the Republic of China," "Three Stabs at the Military Governor of Shanghai Chen Qimei," "The Triangle Love Suicides that Shocked Shanghai in the 1930s," "A Copyright Case in the History of Chinese Cinema," "The Bribery Case of the Shanghai Two Routes Bureau," "The Bizarre Case of 'Erliutang'," "The World's Most Extraordinary Lawsuit—A 50-Year International Lawsuit Between Grandparents and Grandchildren," and "The 1990 Shanghai Silver and Gold Thief." These major cases record Shanghai's history from another perspective, and these histories hold many lessons for today.
