Summary
Xuhui District is located in the southwest of Shanghai City,abutting upon the Huangpu River,facing Pudong New Area across the river on the east and Hongqiao Economy & Technology Development Zone on the west,leaning toward Minhang Economy & Technology Development Zone on the south and Huaihai Middle Road Business Street on the north,being close to Luwan,Changning,Minhang,Jing??an districts,etc.,being a main entry-exit route of Songjiang,Jinshan,Qingpu,Fengxian counties etc.and an important land passageway to the provinces of Jiangsu,Zhejiang,Jiangxi,Fujian and Anhui,etc..In modern times,under the influence and drive of rapid development of capitalist market economy,modern national industry in Chinese territory area of Xuhui District,which was led by Longhua Gunpowder Plant opened by Shanghai Jiangnan Manufacturing Main Office in 1870s,achieved slow development.After the World War I,the domestic national industry achieved a rather rapid development,most of them were small-sized enterprises of textile and food,except several rather large-scale enterprises such as Shanghai Cement Ltd.,Co.,Taishan Brick and Tile Factory,etc..Under the twofold oppression of imperialism and bureaucratic bourgeois,the national industry & commerce had to survive and develop from the adversity.Some enterprises scraped a living and took great pains to keep above water such as the Food Factories of Meilin,Taikang and Guanshenyuan,etc.;relying on all employees of the factory,the patriotic industrial and commercial businessmen of Great China Rubber Factory and Wuzhou Guben Soap & Pharmaceutical Factory persisted in struggling,and frustrated the threat and temptation of foreign businessmen??s vain attempt to monopolize the Chinese market.During this period,the real estate industry in Xuhui District rose again.The French business Jianye Real Estate Co.bought lands and built nearly one hundred buildings along the West Jianguo Road and Yueyang Road,thereafter they built almost three hundred buildings in Jianyeli East,West and Middle Lanes.In the 26th year of Republic of China,August 13 Songhu Encounter broke out,the whole Chinese territory area were occupied by the enemy,the Leased Territory became the??sanctuary??of merchant princes and despotic gentries from everywhere.A passel of enterprises and institutions,such as China Watch Manufacturing Factory,Jingfu Garment and Sock Weaving Mill and Sino-Belgian Radium Institute,moved into Xuhui District one after another.Some advanced flats,which were the Huaihai Building,Shanghai New Village,Maoling Villa,and Yuyuan etc.,were built with new block of lanes,industries of food and beverage,service,entertainment developed correspondingly,and the??isolated island??of wartime appeared a lopsided prosper vision.While the Chinese territory area was left in a state of despair and devastation,and all business was declined.In the 34th year of Republic of China,Japan surrendered.The Nationalist Government took over the puppet regime of Wang Jingwei,and established districts according to constablewick.Changshu District (the 7th District),Xujiahui District (the 8th District) and the relevant District Administration Offices were announced to be established within this district.Under the Kuomintang??s reactionary governance entitled in the name of??everything is subordinated to civil war??,educational funds were often largely reduced,progressive books and magazines were strictly prohibited,patriotic democratic personages were suppressed,industrial and commercial enterprises were forced to stop doing business or close down,numbers of wageworkers lost their jobs,prices skyrocketed,and the people of Xuhui District were immersed in abysm of tribulation again.May 24th of that year,the PLA liberated the whole district with the coordinated support of CPC underground organization.The two districts of Changshu and Xuhui covered an area of 13 sq.kms,with a population of 280,000 when they were liberated.There were about 500 middle and small factories,3000 middle and small shops,1800 individual handicraft workshops in the whole district;there were 8 colleges and universities,127 middle schools and primary schools,13 scientific research institutes (offices),3 cinemas and theatres.After liberation of Shanghai,the newly-born people??s regime first focused on establishing revolutionary order,safeguarding social stability,confiscating bureaucratic capital,establishing state-owned economy,supporting private industry and commerce,recovering and developing production,and breaking down & stabilizing market price.Based on it,many movements were launched successively,such as the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea,Suppression of Counter-Revolutionaries,Prohibition of Gambling,Drug and Prostitute,??Three Anti Campaign??,??Five Anti Campaign??etc.,and democratic reforms were carried out in the enterprises and institutes.After the three-year effort,the social order of the whole district tended to stabilization,and the national economy was recovered and developed.Socialism transformation and the 1st Five-Year Plan of National Economy began to be carried out in 1953.July 1954,by means of general election,Changshu and Xuhui Districts respectively held the 1st meeting of the 1st People??s Congress.At the same time of enhancing socialistic regime construction,strongly developing production and ensuring supply,we took a series of measures to improve people??s life.During this period,we carried out the Zhaojia Creek Project of Filling the Creek & Constructing the Road,more than 2000 families and 8000 residents in??shanty town above the water??moved to better places.We successively built some workers??new villages such as the Rihui Village I and Caoxi Village I,etc.The socialistic transformation movement reached the climax in the first moon of 1956.1126 private factories and 2996 private shops implemented a mechanism of joint public-private operation,and 955 handicraftsmen respectively founded 91 handicrafts cooperatives (teams).On March of that year,Changshu and Xuhui Districts were consolidated into one district--Xuhui District.From 1956,we adjusted the structure of former industrial enterprises in Xuhui District,rebuilt and newly built a passel of new industrial enterprises needed urgently by nation in the field of instrument,electron,machine,aviation and space etc.,and we started to build an electronics industry base in Caohejing area.Meanwhile,we launched generally the labor events with

enterprises of the whole district.The industrial output value in 1956 reached RMB 0.563 billion Yuan,which was 1.1 times as much as RMB 0.263 billion Yuan in 1952.From the second half year of 1957,the national economy was out of proportion,supply of the market was tensed up,and the masses lived a difficult life.In 1966,the nationwide??Great Cultural Revolution??broke out.In October 1976,??Great Cultural Revolution??ended.Since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party,the whole district successfully achieved the transformation of focus of work,which kept the economic development as the central task,and then a satisfactory situation appeared again,which was stable in politics and society.The economy was reviving,and the masses??standard of living improved continuously.In 1983,the financial revenue of the district first reached RMB 100 millions Yuan.In 1984,two towns of Longhua and Caohejing and the areas of Hongqiao,Tianlin etc.were added to the district from Shanghai County,which made the land area of the district increase several times.At the same year,Shanghai Municipal Government decided to build a microelectronics industrial zone.After several years??development,with the approval of State Council,it was expanded to Shanghai Caohejing Hi-tech Park.The district government grasped the opportunity,and made a decision of speeding up the pace of third industry,which focused on real estate,commerce,tourist and finance.To the collective industry,we focused on the transformation to technology reform,adjustment of industry structure,and improvement of product quality and scale merit.In 1988,Shanghai Municipal Government decided to implement a financial administration system in the district level,which was to??appraise and decide revenue and expenditure base,assume responsibility for surpluses or deficits and turn over part of revenue to municipal government,share when the revenue increases with a five-year term??.Enclosing the reform measure,we carried out system for contracted responsibility in the grass roots of the whole district,and this mobilized the initiative of the enterprise and the staff to contribute to the production and management.After three years??practice,the comprehensive economic strength of the district enhanced notably.Comparing with the revenue of 1980,the financial revenue of the district in

Road etc.,we widened and built 53 roads,and refit roads of 120,000 sq.ms..Under the guidance of building houses with joint investment among state,local and enterprise,we speeded up the pace of old
