Wukang Road was built in 1907. According to the Records of Geographical Names in Xuhui District , Shanghai : “The road was originally named Fu Kaisen Road, named after the American Fu Kaisen surname. In 1943, it was renamed Wukang Road and was named after the old county in Zhejiang Province.” [1-2]
In the late Qing Dynasty, Sheng Xuanhuai , a minister of the Westernization faction , was entrusted by Li Hongzhang to supervise the operation of Nanyang Public School (the predecessor of today’s Shanghai Jiaotong University). Equivalent to a 21st-century provost). After Fu Kaisen took office, in order to facilitate the travel of teachers and students, he built the road with his own salary. At first, there was no exact name. Later, because the French Concession was expanding its territory, it conflicted with the “Siming Office” of the Shanghai Ningbo Association. There were also conflicts with the United Kingdom, the United States, Russia and other countries. Fukaisen adjusted from it, and finally resolved to the satisfaction of all parties. In order to thank Fukaisen, the local people named the road Fukaisen Road. Since the professors hired by Fukaisen live in the urban area, it is much more convenient for teachers to go to work and school since the construction of this road. Therefore, it is highly praised by teachers and students. Wukang Road was originally a dirt road, with rice and vegetable gardens and farmhouses on sides, dense rivers and ponds, scattered with many graves. In 1914, Fukaisen Road was officially included in the French Concession, and Mintini, the first French consul in Shanghai, implemented the overall planning along Wukang Road in accordance with the most modern urban construction concept in the West at that time. This plan is gradually advancing to the surrounding area.
