Weihaiwei Under British Rule is a bilingual Chinese–English history of Weihaiwei, the port on the Shandong coast that China leased to Britain in 1898 and that Britain governed until 1930. It is written by Zhang Jianguo and Zhang Junyong and translated by Alec Hill and Ma Xianghong, and it was published in 2006 by the Shandong Pictorial Publishing House. As a “pictorial” book it relies on historical photographs and archival documents, and the cover combines a period photograph of British officials and turbaned soldiers with a reproduced handwritten letter. The book is useful for readers of British imperial history, China’s treaty-port and leased-territory era, and Shandong local history. This copy is the first edition, in excellent condition.
