### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible history of two families and China
*by G***N on October 2, 2025*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ a fun read
*by F***C on September 23, 2025*

having studied and worked under jewish people, i feel closer to jewsish than any other ethnic group. born and raised in shanghai, i love shanghai more than any other city in the world. so the book is a fun read for me.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Engaging stories behind familiar colonial buildings in Shanghai
*by Q***U on July 5, 2020*

This is a marvelous book giving me the background of Shanghai during early 1900s, in additional to Sassoons and Kadoories families. I heard of anecdotes of Shanghai history from my grandparents. This book feeds me a better, although brief, informative description of the Shanghai and Chinese history during the period. I never heard the 2 family names when I was a kid in Shanghai a long time ago. However, I realized that I had more encounters with them than I was aware of. I boarded the Chinese Welfare Children Fund kindergarten where it used to be Kadoories family house and garden. I went to Marble House called Children Palace for children’s activities during elementary school. I marveled the architecture of the Sassoons house (Peace Hotel) when I visited Shanghai recently. This is a great book for catching up Shanghai and China history through the stories of the 2 Jewish families and their contribution to Shanghai commercialization. It also entails the future of China in light of the recent Hong Kong development, and freedom of society versus economic progression.
