Shanghai is the cradle of the Chinese working class and the largest economic center in China. It is also a place where female workers and educated women are relatively concentrated. For a long time, Shanghai women have been striving for self-improvement and unity. In the New Democratic Revolution and the Socialist Revolution and construction, they played the role of the 'half of the sky.' Since the reform and opening up, Shanghai women have displayed a new demeanor of self-respect, self-improvement, and active progress. They have embraced an open mindset towards the whole country and the world, a dedication to work, and a spirit of contributing to society. They have been active in various fields of political, economic, and social life, producing a group of contemporary female heroes embodying the unique charm of Shanghai women, earning praise and admiration from society.

The 'Shanghai Women's Chronicles' comprehensively and systematically reflect the history and current situation of Shanghai women. It not only enriches the cultural treasury of local chronicles, helping us understand the situation of Shanghai women, but also serves as a positive influence for us to understand Marxist views on women, implement the basic state policy of gender equality, and promote the development and progress of Shanghai women.

The progress of women is a symbol of social progress. Respecting and protecting women is the moral trend that a civilized society should follow. We hope that the whole society will care about women's work, effectively safeguard the equal status and rights of women in national politics, economics, and social life, and create better conditions for their participation in social production and various activities. Women's federations and women's organizations at all levels should listen to the voices of women, do their best to alleviate their worries, educate and unite women from all walks of life, promote the spirit of 'self-respect, self-confidence, self-reliance, and self-strengthening,' actively engage in reform and opening up and modernization, fully utilize their intelligence and wisdom, and further play the role of the 'half of the sky.

"Starting from Yang Weizhen's 'Cloudy Bamboo Branch Lyrics' in the Yuan Dynasty, over ten thousand bamboo branch lyrics have been passed down. Particularly since the opening of Shanghai as a port, local literati as well as those who traveled from various places were struck by the unique atmosphere and extravagant displays of foreign influence in the city. This led to the creation of a significant number of bamboo branch lyrics. These verses are often accompanied by annotations akin to historical anecdotes, making them a vital historical resource related to Shanghai.

Mr. Gu Bingquan, engaged in local historical work since the 1980s, has deeply appreciated and diligently collected bamboo branch lyrics for their special ability to 'supplement history with poetry'. His work 'Shanghai's Foreign Concessions Bamboo Branch Lyrics' compiles a total of 74 types of bamboo branch lyrics related to Shanghai's foreign concessions, totaling over 4,000 pieces, divided into two sections. The first section comprises 16 types, including single volumes or copied versions of bamboo branch lyrics published during various periods. The second section includes 59 types selected by the compiler from newspapers, periodicals, and books of the time. This work serves as an excellent reference for researchers in Shanghai history and folk studies.

Gu Bingquan (1936-1999), born in Gonglu Town, Chuansha County, Shanghai (now Cao Road Town, Pudong New Area), had a lifelong passion for reading. His research achievements particularly encompass local history, historical bamboo branch lyrics, and tea culture. He held positions such as Deputy Chief Editor of 'Chuansha County Annals,' Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the Pudong New Area Historical Records Compilation Office, Contract Researcher at the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences Institute of History, and Deputy Director and Secretary-General of the Shanghai Tea Culture Research Center. He authored works including 'Historical Bamboo Branch Lyrics of Shanghai,' 'Studies on Shanghai Customs and Historic Sites,' and 'Shanghai's Foreign Concessions Bamboo Branch Lyrics.' He also participated in or led the compilation of numerous books, including 'Chuansha County Annals,' 'Continuation of Chuansha County Annals,' 'Chinese Tea and Alcohol Dictionary,' 'Culinary Culture Dictionary,' 'Grand Views of Pudong's Past and Present,' 'Pudong New Area Placename Annals,' and 'Pudong Dictionary,' among others."

上海自元代杨维桢《云间竹枝词》开始，流传的竹枝词有万首以上。特别自上海开埠后，当地文人，以及各地游屐，深感洋场风声气息之殊异，奇技淫巧之纷陈，写下了大量的竹枝词，一般都有类似笔记掌故的注解，是一宗不容忽视的有关上海的历史资料。顾炳权先生从20世纪80年代起从事地方史志工作，对于竹枝词「以诗补史」的特别功效一直深有体会并用心搜集。《上海洋场竹枝词》收入有关上海洋场之竹枝词共74种，计4000余首，分为前后两编。前编16种，为各时期出版之竹枝词单行本或抄、稿本；后编59种，系编者从当时出版之报刊图书中辑录者，是上海史和民俗学研究者极好的参考资料。
顾炳权(1936-1999)，上海市川沙县龚路镇(今浦东新区曹路镇)人，他一生酷爱读书，尤其对地方历史、历代竹枝词、茶文化等的研究颇具成果。先后担任《川沙县志》副主编、浦东新区史志编纂室副编审、上海社会科学院历史研究所特约研究员、上海茶文化研究中心副主任兼秘书长等职。编着有《上海历代竹枝词》、《上海风俗古迹考》、《上海洋场竹枝词》；主持或参与编纂有《川沙县志》、《川沙县续志》、《中国茶酒辞典》、《饮食文化辞典》、《浦东今古大观》、《浦东新区地名志》、《浦东辞典》等多部书籍

The compilation of 'Chronicles of Modern Shanghai' aims not only to record significant events and important matters in modern Shanghai encompassing politics, economy, military, culture, education, healthcare, religious beliefs, citizen life, social customs, and natural phenomena, but also to provide a brief account of nationwide events and events in other regions influenced by Shanghai. This allows readers to grasp the background and context of many events in modern Shanghai, facilitating a clearer understanding and convenient retrieval. Moreover, this historical account holds certain enlightening and instructive value for Shanghai, situated at the crossroads of the century, in its choices and endeavors toward constructing both socialist spiritual and material civilization.

Drug abuse is a hot issue that has garnered widespread attention in today's international society. The United Nations has a dedicated anti-drug agency responsible for coordinating global anti-drug efforts, and most countries have specialized anti-drug agencies. Due to the serious harm of drug proliferation to individuals, families, societies, and nations, strict controls and severe punishment for drug-related crimes are implemented by governments of various countries. The Opium Wars from 1840 to 1842 led China into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal state. At that time, opium abuse was rampant, causing many families to be impoverished and torn apart. Pressured by international public opinion and the rising anti-smoking sentiment domestically, the Qing government issued a series of anti-smoking decrees and launched anti-smoking campaigns nationwide, with the most representative being Lin Zexu's "Opium Destruction in Humen." However, due to political corruption, the declining national strength, and the people's suffering during the Qing Dynasty, the harm of opium remained unresolved despite the efforts to ban it. It was only after the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party, that the Chinese people swiftly eradicated opium within a few years, creating a miracle in the history of global drug prohibition. However, in the late 1970s, international drug trafficking groups, primarily from the "Golden Triangle" region, began to infiltrate drugs into China's southwestern border, rekindling drug-related crimes. This raised high concerns within the Chinese government, and the Central Committee and the State Council took a series of comprehensive and effective measures. Significant achievements were made in drug control, and China's reputation in the international drug control arena continued to rise.

This book, compiled and published by the Shanghai Anti-Drug Working Group Office and the Shanghai Archives, reflects a period of anti-smoking history in China from before the Opium Wars to 1926. It is rich in content and based on solid historical evidence. It holds positive value for the study of modern Chinese history, especially the history of drug prohibition both internationally and domestically. Moreover, the book provides vivid historical material for our anti-drug propaganda efforts. We believe it will be welcomed by a wide range of readers.

毒品是引起当今国际社会广泛关注的热点问题。联合国设有专门的禁毒署，负责协调全球的禁毒事务，大多数国家都设有禁毒的专门机构。由于毒品泛滥对个人、家庭、社会、民族都具有严重的危害性，因此，无论是哪个国家、哪届政府对毒品都加以了严格的管制，对毒品犯罪都施以严刑。1840-1842年的鸦片战争使中国沦为半殖民地、半封建的国家。那时烟毒泛滥，不少家庭倾家荡产、家破人亡。当时的清朝政府迫于国际舆论的压力和国内禁烟呼声的高涨，下达了一些列禁烟诏令章程，在全国各地开展了禁烟运动，其中最具代表性的是爱国志士林则徐的“虎门销烟”。但是，由于清朝政府政治腐败，国力衰落，民不聊生，烟毒之害禁而不绝。只是到了1949年中华人民共和国成立之后，在中国共产党的领导下，发动人民群众，在短短的几年里迅速禁绝了烟毒，在世界禁毒史上创造了一个奇迹。但是，到了七十年代末国际贩毒集团（主要是“金三角地区”）开始向我国西南边境进行毒品渗透活动，毒品犯罪又死灰复燃。对此，引起我国政府的高度重视，党中央、国务院采取了一系列综合有效的措施，禁毒工作取得了显著的成绩，我国在国际禁毒领域的声誉不断提高。

这本由上海市禁毒工作领导小组办公室和上海市档案馆编纂出版的书，反映了我国鸦片战争前后至1926年前的一段禁烟历史，内容丰富，史料翔实。这对研究我国近代史，特别是研究国际国内的禁毒史都有积极的价值。同时，这本书也为我们开展禁毒宣传工作提供了一份生动的历史材料，相信它一定会受到广大读者的欢迎。

上海市地方史志学会副秘书长、新编《川沙县志》副主编顾炳权撰写的《上海风俗古迹考》，最近由华东师范大学出版社出版。该书采用历史掌故与《竹枝词》相结合的方式，分门别类地记述上海的历史，其中征引的《竹枝词》近1600首，既是风土杂考之书，又是上海《竹枝词》的选本。全书48万字。

The book 'The Prosperous Record of Modern Shanghai' tells us: What does the past of Shanghai evoke in your mind? Some say it's the 'Bund by the River,' a playground for adventurers, a city of endless revelry and extravagant wealth; others describe it as the former financial center of the Far East and the textile hub that once dominated the nation. However, over time, Shanghai has evolved into a complex legend, making it challenging to grasp its true essence. The story begins in the year when the West first opened China's doors - 1842. With the conclusion of the Opium Wars and the signing of the Treaty of Nanking, Shanghai was designated as one of the five treaty ports, attracting individuals from Europe, America, Japan, and other nations eager to make their mark. Shanghai served as the frontline city where modern China confronted Western influences. With its strategic location overlooking the Yangtze River, it transformed from an ordinary county town into the national financial and industrial hub, the largest city in the Far East, and an international metropolis blending Eastern and Western customs. As the story continues to unfold and new chapters are added even today, let us hear from Professor Tang Zhenchang, a renowned historian of modern Chinese history who once worked as a journalist and extensively researched the history of Shanghai. He takes us back to the beginning, providing insights into the most vibrant chapters of modern to contemporary China during the era of Western influence.

《近代上海繁华录》讲述了：过去的上海令你想起甚么？有人说，是十里洋场，是冒险家乐园，是纸醉金迷的不夜城、销金窝；也有人说是当日的远东金融中心和执全国牛耳的纺织业上海，早己变成一个过于复杂的传说，叫人难以捉摸她的庐山真貌。故事的开始，是西方打开中国大门的第一年——1842年。鸦片战争结束，南京条约签订，上海列为通商五口之一，欧美日本各国人士争相赶赴大展拳脚。上海是近代中国面对西方冲击的最前线城市，以其俯控长江的优越位置，由普通县城一跃而成全国金融工业中心、远东第一大城、洋风华俗混生的国际都会。在故事今天仍然继续而迭有新章之际，且让我们听听曾经从事新闻工作，精研上海历史的中国近代史名家唐振常教授为我们细说从头，认识西风东渐下的近代以至现代中国最鲜活一章。

This compilation of archival historical materials is a collection from the Shanghai Commodity Exchange and the Shanghai Stock Exchange, mainly selected from the archival collections of the Shanghai Municipal Archives and other relevant collections. The Shanghai Commodity Exchange was initiated in early 1917 and officially established in 1920, making it the earliest comprehensive exchange established in China. The selected archives in this compilation reflect the establishment and relevant operational activities of the exchange, providing primary source materials for studying the securities and commodity trading activities at that time. The mention of Zhang Jingjiang and Chiang Kai-shek's involvement in brokering securities and commodities trading at the exchange in the early 1920s is an issue of significant interest in historical studies. The China Second Historical Archives generously released archives and other historical materials related to this aspect, greatly enhancing the content of this book, and we express our gratitude for this. The Shanghai Stock Exchange was established by the Nationalist government after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War with the aim of promoting enterprise investment, facilitating economic rehabilitation, establishing a sound securities market, and supporting industrial and commercial enterprises. It commenced operations in September 1946, overseeing securities trading throughout the city and being the 'sole securities trading market' in China at that time, occupying a significant position in the socio-economic life of the period. In addition, we have selected various materials from relevant archives and old newspapers and periodicals as appendices. These are important historical materials for a comprehensive understanding and research of the securities industry in old Shanghai and even old China. We believe they offer valuable insights for the recently recovering securities market today.

本辑档案史料汇编，系上海证券物品交易所与上海证券交易所的合集，主要选自上海市档案馆所藏上海证券物品交易所全宗及其他有关全宗。上海证券物品交易所，发起于1917年初，正式创设于1920年，是我国创办最早的一家综合性交易所。本辑所选档案，反映了该所创建经过以及有关经营活动，是研究当时证券、物品交易活动的第一手材料。内中述及的20年代初张静江、蒋介石等在该所经纪证券物品交易一事，更是史学界颇为关注的问题。中国第二历史档案馆概允公布这方面的档案及其他史料，使 本书增色不少，在此谨表谢意。上海证券交易所，系抗战胜利后国民党当局为“提倡企业投资，促进经济复员，建立健全证券市场，扶助工商企业”而授意上海金融界组设的，开业于1946年9月，统辖全市的证券交易，这也是那时中国“唯一之证券交易市场”，在当时社会经济生活中占有重要一席。此外，我们还从有关档案、旧报刊中选取若干资料，作为附录，这些都是全面了解和研究旧上海乃至旧中国证券事业的重要史料，相信对今天复苏不久的证券市场也不无可供借鉴之处。

上海工会联合会，简称上海工联会。土地革命战争时期，上海各赤色工会的联合组织。1929年6月正式成立，徐锡根任工联党团书记。11月，中共江苏省委决定，徐炳根为工联会委员长，徐锡根为党团书记。1930年1月，李梅林为委员长。4月，徐炳根被捕，由徐锡根任工联会委员长兼党团书记。5月，徐锡根调任全国总工会党团书记，由沈先定（沈显庭）任工联会委员长，王克全兼任工联会党团书记。1931年1月，中共江苏省委停止王克全的工联会党团书记工作，由殷鉴代理。1932年初，徐锡根被捕叛变。3月，刘少奇任工联会党团书记。后由饶漱石、杨尚昆、袁孟超等接任。1933年9月以后，由于工联会不断遭到破坏，遂改为常委负责制。上海工联成立后，先后在上海的沪东、沪西、法南、闸北、沪中和浦东等区建立区工会联合会。1936年11月，全国总工会白区执行局传达中共驻共产国际代表团关于停止白区工会工作的意见。全总白区执行局、上海工会联合会和各产业总工会随即结束。

As early as March 1962, the History Institute of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, following the instructions of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, began to organize efforts to compile historical materials on the May Thirtieth Movement. Within three years, a large amount of data was accumulated. Due to the influence of the Cultural Revolution, this work was halted for more than a decade and only resumed in 1978, gradually compiling and publishing the results. 'Historical Materials of the May Thirtieth Movement' is divided into three volumes, published by Shanghai People's Publishing House in November 1981, August 1986, and December 2005, with a total word count of 2.12 million. It is the first relatively systematic collection of materials on the May Thirtieth Movement after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

In terms of content, it can be divided into five major parts:

1. Important works, memories, and historical documents.
2. From the February strikes to the outbreak of the May Thirtieth Movement.
3. Activities of various classes and groups in Shanghai during the May Thirtieth Movement.
4. The spread of the May Thirtieth Movement nationwide, overseas Chinese, and international support.
5. The repression and sabotage of the May Thirtieth Movement by imperialism and warlord governments.

The book draws extensively from a wide range of sources, including more than a dozen Chinese and foreign newspapers such as 'Rehe Daily,' 'Republic of China Daily,' 'Shen Bao,' 'Sin Wan Pao ,' 'The China Press,' and 'North China Daily Herald,' as well as more than forty Chinese and foreign journals such as 'Xiangdao,' 'China Youth,' 'Shanghai General Trade Union Daily,' 'Blood Tide Daily,' 'National News Weekly,' 'Illustrated Times,' 'Militzer's Review,' and 'China Economic Monthly,' as well as relevant books and archives.

On August 13, 1937, the Battle of Shanghai erupted, marking the beginning of the Chinese resistance against Japanese aggression. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) led the people of Shanghai in their anti-Japanese and national salvation movement, actively supporting the Nationalist Party's (Kuomintang) war efforts. After the fall of Shanghai, the CCP maintained and expanded its presence in Shanghai, engaging in a wide range of activities aimed at building a united front against the Japanese occupation. They rallied individuals from all walks of life to sustain a prolonged resistance against the Japanese while also dispatching forces to the regions near Shanghai, such as Jiangnan and Jiangbei, to carry out armed struggles in the enemy-occupied territories.

In the rural areas surrounding Shanghai, which were tightly controlled by Japanese puppet authorities, the CCP initiated and organized guerrilla warfare against the Japanese starting in 1938. They gradually established several guerrilla bases over the course of eight years, resembling steel daggers driven into the heart of the enemy. These guerrilla forces, in collaboration with the New Fourth Army's eastward expeditionary units, played a vital role in commanding and striking against Japanese puppet forces, supporting resistance bases in the hinterlands of central China and eastern Zhejiang, and coordinating with the urban population's anti-Japanese and national salvation movement. The Shanghai suburban guerrilla warfare was an integral aspect of the broader anti-Japanese struggle in Shanghai and a critical component of the extensive battlefield in the eastern region of China.

This book compiles the history of the CCP-led resistance in Shanghai's suburbs, recounting the arduous and remarkable eight-year struggle, emphasizing the hard-fought victories that provide profound inspiration. The guerrilla warfare in Shanghai's suburbs unfolded under extremely challenging and complex circumstances. The CCP-led anti-Japanese guerrilla forces upheld the banner of national liberation, implemented comprehensive political strategies for the war effort, and actively engaged and armed the masses. They steadfastly resisted Japanese aggression and opposed surrender, representing the strong patriotic desire of the suburban population to avoid becoming slaves of a foreign invader. Thus, the guerrilla forces, distinct from local armed factions, possessed the broadest popular support. The collaboration between the armed forces and the people was the key to success in the eight-year-long resistance, relying on the valiant guerrilla fighters and the heroic people who shielded and supported the guerrilla warfare.

The CCP-led guerrilla forces diligently followed the policy of "develop progressive forces, win over middle-of-the-road forces, isolate stubborn reactionary forces." They extensively worked on building a united front against the Japanese occupation, rallying and winning over social elites and enlightened gentry, reforming local forces affiliated with various factions of the Nationalist Party, and converting patriotic soldiers from the puppet regime. They established democratic anti-Japanese governments, achieving considerable success. Depending on the local conditions and the balance of power between friend and foe, the guerrilla forces adopted diverse and flexible strategies, such as utilizing legal means and conducting open struggles or engaging in covert operations deep within enemy territory. All of these strategies aimed at gaining allies, isolating enemies, and strengthening their own position. The CCP's united front work was an essential weapon that allowed the suburban guerrilla warfare to endure, grow, and eventually triumph in the face of the strict control and complexity of the enemy-occupied territories.

The CCP-led suburban guerrilla warfare underwent a challenging and convoluted process of development, contraction, and subsequent expansion leading to victory. In the early stages of the resistance, the CCP tirelessly established and developed secret party organizations in the suburban areas, forming a strong leadership core that laid the organizational foundation for creating anti-Japanese armed forces and launching mass movements. During the long and difficult phase of anti“Combing-Out” struggles, the CCP made the correct decision to preserve their core strength and relocate their main forces. Local party organizations at all levels maintained prolonged concealment in their original locations, rallied the masses, accumulated strength, and conducted covert operations. They not only steadfastly preserved and expanded the anti-Japanese front in the suburbs but also provided vital support to the struggles in the anti-Japanese bases in southern Jiangsu, central Jiangsu, northern Jiangsu, and eastern Zhejiang. The CCP's correct leadership was the fundamental guarantee of victory in the struggle.

The success of the suburban anti-Japanese guerrilla warfare in Shanghai was also a result of the close cooperation and mutual support between urban and rural areas. From the beginning of the suburban armed resistance, the underground CCP in Shanghai adhered to the central directives and sent key party members and material support to aid the suburban guerrilla warfare. The valiant struggle of the suburban population and their continuous victories greatly boosted the confidence of the urban population, reaffirming the belief in ultimate victory. The cooperation and mutual support between urban and rural areas, the steadfast commitment to the struggle, were indispensable conditions for achieving the final victory of the resistance.

The compilation and publication of this book are meaningful and necessary. Due to the war conditions of the past, historical records of the Shanghai suburban anti-Japanese guerrilla warfare have not been fully preserved, and without timely collection and organization, numerous remarkable achievements and valuable historical experiences that are still relevant today might be lost. Comrades Zhang Yiyu, Weng Sanxin, and Li Fei, in a three-year effort, conducted interviews with nearly a hundred veteran comrades, examined relevant archives and materials, and collaborated with party history collectors from various counties in the Shanghai suburbs and sister provinces and counties. They collected a vast amount of information, which was then sorted, verified, and researched to compile this comprehensive and reliable historical record. This undoubtedly constitutes a valuable contribution to accurately and thoroughly document party history and provides a systematic historical reference for the veterans who participated in the struggle and researchers of party history.

Finally, as this book is being released, we respectfully commemorate the martyrs who valiantly sacrificed their lives in the fight against Japanese aggression. We extend our profound respect to the veteran comrades and soldiers who led and participated in the suburban anti-Japanese guerrilla warfare. Their heroic achievements will forever be recorded in the annals of the people's revolutionary struggle.

一九三七年八月十三日，上海抗战爆发。中国共产党领导了上海人民的抗日救亡运动，积极支援国民党军队的抗战。上海沦陷后，中国共产党一面保持和发展着上海群众运动的阵地，广泛开展抗日民族统一战线工作，团结各阶层人士进行持久的抗日斗争，另一面输送力量到上海附近的江南、江北一带开展敌后武装斗争。 在日伪反动统治严密控制的上海郊县农村，中共从一九三八年起就积极发动和组织抗日游击战争，并逐步建立起若干游击根据地，经过历时八年的艰苦斗争，犹如一把把钢刀插在敌人的心脏里。郊县的抗日武装与新四军东进部队相结合，在率制和打击日伪力量，支援华中、浙东敌后抗日根据地和配合上海城市人民抗日救亡运动等方面，均起到了重要的作用。上海郊县抗日游击战争是上海人民抗日斗争的重要方面，也是华东广大敌后战场的重要组成部分。 1 .本书汇集了党领导的上海郊县抗日武装斗争始末，回顾八年艰苦卓绝的战斗历程，深感胜利来之不易，给人以深刻启迪。 上海郊县的抗日武装斗争是在极端困难和复杂的环境中进行的。党领导的抗日游击队高举民族解放战争的旗帜，实行全面抗战的政治主张，广泛发动群众、武装群众，坚持抗日，反对投降，代表着郊县广大群众不愿做亡国奴的强烈爱国愿望。因此，我们的游击队，有别于任何派系组织的地方武装，拥有最广泛的群众基础。兵民是胜利之本，八年抗战得以坚持，依靠着英勇的游击队指战员，也依靠着掩护和支援游击战争的英雄人民。 中共领导的抗日游击队，认真贯彻“发展进步势力，争取中间势力，孤立顽固势力”的方针，广泛开展抗日民族统一战线工作，团结、争取社会名流、开明士绅，争取改造国民党各派系的地方部队，策反伪军中具有爱国心的官兵，建立三三制抗日民主政权，均取得较大成绩。根据当地当时形势的变化和敌我力量的对比，游击武装在党的领导下，又采取了灵活多样的斗争策略，如利用合法，进行公开的斗争；深入敌营，坚持隐蔽斗争等等。这些都服务于争取同盟者，孤立敌人，壮大自己。党的统战工作是郊县抗日武装在敌伪势力严密控制、错综复杂的敌占区能够长期生存、发展、壮大，最终克敌制胜的重要法宝。 中共领导的郊县抗日武装斗争经历了发展、收缩、再发展，直至胜利的艰难曲折过程。抗战初期，党就开始坚持不懈地秘密建立和发展郊县各级党组织，形成坚强的领导核心，为创建抗日武装，莲勃开展群众运动莫定了组织基础。在漫长而艰苦的反清乡斗争阶段，党又正确地决定，为保存有生力量，主力部队转移，各级地方党组织坚持原地长期埋伏，团结群众，积蓄力量，开展隐蔽斗争。既出色地坚持和发展了郊区抗日阵地，又支援了苏南、苏中、苏北和浙东抗日根据地的斗争，为迎接抗战胜利作出了可贵的贡献。党的正确领导，是斗争胜利的根本保证。 上海郊县抗日武装斗争的成功，也是城市和农村紧密配合，互相支援的成果。从上海郊县武装斗争一开始，上海地下党就遵循中央指示，输送了党的骨干力量和物资支援郊县武装斗争，郊县人民的英勇斗争和不断取得的胜利，又极大地鼓舞了城市人民抗战必胜的信心。城乡配合，互相支援，坚持斗争，也为抗战取得最终胜利，提供了必不可少的条件。 本书的编纂和出版是一项很有意义和必要的工作。由于过去的战争环境，上海郊县抗日武装斗争的史料，无法完整地保存至今，如不及时搜集、整理，大量可歌可颂的战斗业绩和至今仍值得借鉴的历史经验，就有湮没的可能。张义渔、翁三新、李飞三位同志化了三年时间，走访了近百位老同志，查阅了有关档案和资料，并与市郊各县和兄弟省、县的党史征集工作者协作，收集了大量资料，经整理、查核、研究，汇编成这本较为完整可信的史料书。这无疑为立准、立好党史，做了件有益的工作，也为参加当年斗争的老同志和党史研究工作者，提供较为系统的历史资料。 最后，值此出版本书之际，谨向在这场抗击日本侵略者斗争中英勇牺牲的烈士，致以深切的悼念。向当年领导和参加过郊县抗日游击战争的老同志、老战士致以崇高的敬意。他们的英勇业绩，将永远载入人民革命斗争的史册。

Shanghai Wing On Department Store was the largest and fairly capable 'Universal' department store in old China, enjoying a certain reputation both domestically and internationally. It was initiated by Australian Chinese immigrants Guo Le and Guo Quan, among others. Established in 1918 and continuing until the liberation, it underwent a process of public-private partnership. Over nearly forty years of history, it held a significant position and influence in China's national capitalist commercial economy. Throughout its long-standing commercial activities, Wing On Department Store accumulated considerable experience in capitalist business management. Leveraging this experience, it managed to survive and achieve some development amidst the oppression from imperialism and bureaucratic capital, both domestically and internationally. However, under the historical conditions of old China, it eventually declined from its peak and faced extremely challenging circumstances, ultimately succumbing to the imminent fate of bankruptcy. We believe that a detailed analysis of this typical commercial enterprise is beneficial for further studying China's national capitalist economy and the national bourgeoisie.

上海永安公司是旧中国规模最大、有相当经营能力并曾在当时国内外享有一定声誉的“环球”百货公司，它由澳洲华侨郭乐、郭泉兄弟等人发起创设，从1918年正式开幕到解放后实行公私合营，经历了近四十年的历史进程，它在我国民族资本主义商业经济中具有一定的影响和地位。上海永安公司在长时期的商业活动中，积累了比较丰富的资本主义经营管理的经验，并借助于此，得以在帝国主义和官僚资本内外压迫的夹缝中生存和获得某些发展。但是在旧中国的历史条件下，它终于由盛转衰，处境十分艰难，最终无法逃脱濒于破产的历史命运。我们认为，具体剖析这一典型的商业企业，对于进一步研究我国民族资本主义经济和民族资产阶级是有益处的。

As early as March 1962, the History Institute of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, following the instructions of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, began to organize efforts to compile historical materials on the May Thirtieth Movement. Within three years, a large amount of data was accumulated. Due to the influence of the Cultural Revolution, this work was halted for more than a decade and only resumed in 1978, gradually compiling and publishing the results. 'Historical Materials of the May Thirtieth Movement' is divided into three volumes, published by Shanghai People's Publishing House in November 1981, August 1986, and December 2005, with a total word count of 2.12 million. It is the first relatively systematic collection of materials on the May Thirtieth Movement after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

In terms of content, it can be divided into five major parts:

1. Important works, memories, and historical documents.
2. From the February strikes to the outbreak of the May Thirtieth Movement.
3. Activities of various classes and groups in Shanghai during the May Thirtieth Movement.
4. The spread of the May Thirtieth Movement nationwide, overseas Chinese, and international support.
5. The repression and sabotage of the May Thirtieth Movement by imperialism and warlord governments.

The book draws extensively from a wide range of sources, including more than a dozen Chinese and foreign newspapers such as 'Rehe Daily,' 'Republic of China Daily,' 'Shen Bao,' 'Sin Wan Pao ,' 'The China Press,' and 'North China Daily Herald,' as well as more than forty Chinese and foreign journals such as 'Xiangdao,' 'China Youth,' 'Shanghai General Trade Union Daily,' 'Blood Tide Daily,' 'National News Weekly,' 'Illustrated Times,' 'Militzer's Review,' and 'China Economic Monthly,' as well as relevant books and archives.
