Abstract

Abstract:The living conditions of rickshaw drivers in Shanghai in the 1930s were worrying. In view of this, the British and American Bureau of Public Concession Industry in Shanghai issued a report entitled "Recommendation 16". The report deals with rickshaw rental, working hours and other issues, which touches on the interests of stakeholders, including rickshaw dealers and rickshaw drivers, causing dissatisfaction and protest. After many mediations and negotiations, the dispute case was settled. The disputes exposed the foreign powers' economic aggression ambition. The dispute was not only a protest against the imperialist invasion of China's bridgehead, the
public concession, but also a protest against the Shanghai municipal government. It was a microcosm of the struggle
spirit of the lower classes of the Chinese people.

Key words： Shun Pao; rickshaw driver; "Recommendation 16"; dispute cases
