Why do Jews have special feelings for China?

I remember watching a TV series called "Shanghai Fengyun" before.

The play tells the story of Linda, the daughter of a famous Jewish banker in Hamburg, Germany, who bought the "Mesinger Plan" with a huge sum of money entrusted by her father before her death, and Li, a young Shanghainese who took refuge in Germany, tried her best to avoid the crazy pursuit of the Gestapo.

The so-called Mesinger Plan was a German attempt to unite with Japan and wipe out tens of thousands of Jews living in Shanghai.

More than 70 years ago, when the Nazis madly persecuted and slaughtered Jews, many countries closed their doors to Jewish refugees in urgent need, and Shanghai, China became the only city in the world that opened its doors to Jews.

1840 years later, when Kaifeng Jews along the Yellow River were finally assimilated, new Jewish immigrants came to China. In the next century, Jews who came to China formed a continuous trend.

By the end of 1930s, the Shanghai Jewish community had become the largest, most active and representative Jewish community and Jewish settlement in China.

At that time, the total number of Jews in Shanghai exceeded 30,000, forming the largest Jewish community in the Far East.

A prosperous community has its own offices, halls, schools, hospitals, clubs, cemeteries and chambers of commerce.

This set of photos reflects the life of Jews in Shanghai at that time.
