The Commercial Press (simplified Chinese: 商务印书馆有限公司; traditional Chinese: 商務印書館有限公司; pinyin: Shāngwù Yìnshūguǎn) is the first modern publishing organisation in China. In 1897, 26-year-old Xia Ruifang and three of his friends (including the Bao brothers Bao Xian'en and Bao Xianchang) founded The Commercial Press in Shanghai. All four were Protestant Christians who received their training at the American Presbyterian Mission Press. The group soon received financial backing and began publishing books such as Bibles. In 1914, Xia attempted to buy out a Japanese company that had invested in The Commercial Press. Four days later he was assassinated. There was much speculation as to who was behind the assassination; no one was ever arrested for the crime. More information...
