This day, 29 November, 1845, the local government of the Qing Dynasty and the first British consul in Shanghai signed the “Shanghai Land Lease Charter” over a piece of land intended exclusively for foreigners to reside, demarcated by the area north of today’s Yan’an Dong Lu and south of today’s Beijing Dong Lu. The Charter marked thebeginning of the establishment of concessions in China.
这一天，1845年11月29日，清朝地方政府和第一位英国驻上海领事签署了“上海土地租赁宪章”，土地由今天的延安东路以北和今天的北京东路以南划定。 《宪章》标志着中国建立特许权的开始。
