Sincerely, The Editors Introduction The newsletter was inspired by the biweekly newspaper published by the Polish community in Shanghai (1936-49). The idea came up in 2019, but ultimately, as a result of Poland's P si c of t is g á G o 2020/2 , I decided to share this idea with others and to extend its content and scope. Shanghai is a vivid and cosmopolitan city and there is certainly enough space for additional interesting publication. The project is scheduled for 12 months, but I hope that it will continue in the coming years. At this point I would like to thank all the people and institutions involved in creating this unique magazine. In particular, my thanks go to Polish Tourist Organization (POT), Consulate General of the Czech Republic in Shanghai, Consulate General of Hungary in Shanghai and Consulate General of the Slovak Republic in Shanghai. The name of this magazine ("The Visegrád Ec o") f s to o l titl (“Ec o") of newspapers and magazines published in many countries in 19th and 20th century. Such popular title existed in Great Britain, USA, France, Poland, but also in China – in Shanghai (published in Polish, German, French and English), f.e. "L'Echo de Chine" - a Shanghainese newspaper published in French (1901- 9) “Ec o S g jski ” (“S g i Ec o” - a Polish bi- weekly magazine published between 1936-1949), "Shanghai Echo – täglic s Nachrichtenblatt", a daily newspaper in German for Jewish refugees who fled to Shanghai (occasionally short texts avaliable in English and Hebrew, published in 1946-48). Below, you will find other interesting examples. I wish you a great time in exploring the V g á G p countries and their links to China!
