"Ji Shan'an? Has the newspaper already started a major overhaul?" Zhu Wencong looked at Ji Shan'an's personal profile.

In the East, Ji Shan'an's job involved delivering the court newspaper; in simple terms, he was a liaison, a messenger, distributing orders from above to various localities.

External turmoil and internal rebellion had led to Ji Shan'an's complete unemployment, prompting him to move his family to the English concession in Shanghai (the first modern concession, dating back to November 15, 1845).

Ji Shan'an quickly found work at a newspaper run by foreigners, and although he was exploited by the Englishmen, it was far more lenient compared to the exploitation by the Qing court.

As time went by, Ji Shan'an, inspired by Jiuding Group, resolved to try his luck in America and provide a better living environment for the next generation.
