坐落在上海市香山路7號的孫中山故居是孫中山宋慶齡生前居住過的最安寧的寓所，理所當然地成了重大歷史事件的發生地、孫中山宋慶齡親密關係的見證地。2023年上海人民出版社出版的上海孫中山故居紀念館編撰的《上海孫中山故居史事編年1918-1949》，對於人們瞭解故居以及在其中生活過的孫中山宋慶齡有著重要的參考價值。《史事編年》是本很好的工具書，有新材料，編者充分參考了《孫中山全集》、《孫中山全集續編》、該館的館藏資料及當代學者的未刊重要會議論文。《史事編年》有新發現，如孫中山故居的地產、國共合作的新細節。作為一本嚴謹的學術著作，《史事編年》對一些史實作了新考證。它忠實記述了國共合作、改組國民黨、西安事變等重大歷史事件，也詳細介紹了故居的女主人的人際關係，包括但不限於與丈夫 、家人、同志之間的關係。
作為學術研究，《史事編年》在編寫的範圍方面，還有進一步拓展的空間。寫上海孫中山故居，突出故居的主人孫中山、宋慶齡的活動是題中應有之義。但除此之外，這幢特定的建築物內的動產、內外警衛、保潔、維修、日常生活資料的採買、水電煤氣費的支付、電話號碼以及日常費用，也應儘量著錄。《史事編年》還存在不合體例、前後提法不一、概括不當、表述重複等問題，有待再版時改正。總之，《史事編年》的出版是孫中山研究的一大成果，從一個側面填補了孫中山研究的一大空白。它啟示人們，孫中山的研究遠未窮盡，還有很多工作要做。

Located at Number 7, Xiangshan Road, Shanghai City is Sun Yat-sen’s Former Residence. This house was a place of respite for Dr. Sun and his wife, Soong Ching-ling (Song Qingling, Madame Sun), for many years. It thus naturally became a site where many major moments of historic significance occurred, as well as a witness to the close relationship between Dr. Sun and Soong. In 2023, the Shanghai People’s Press published An Annual Chronicle of Sun Yat-sen’s Former Residence in Shanghai, 1918–1949, edited by the staff of Shanghai’s Sun Yat-sen’s Former Residence Memorial. The book is of great reference value for people who wish to understand the Residence itself, and Dr. Sun’s and Soong Ching-ling’s lives there. The Annual Chronicle is a fine reference work, including new materials. The editors thoroughly consulted materials held in the Museum such as the Complete Works of Sun Yat-sen and the Complete Works of Sun Yat-sen, Continued, as well as contemporary scholars’ major unpublished conference proceedings. The Annual Chronicle includes new discoveries, such as details about the property of the Residence and the Second United Front between the CCP and KMT. As a rigorously academic work, the Annual Chronicle provides a new source of textual research for some historical facts. The book faithfully records major historical events such as the Second United Front, the KMT restructuring, and the Xi’an Incident. The Chronicle also gives a detailed introduction to the interpersonal relationships of Madame Sun, including but not limited to her relationships with her husband, her family members, and other comrades.
As a piece of academic research, the Annual Chronicle also breaks some new ground in terms of its scope. In writing about Sun Yat-sen’s Former Residence in Shanghai, it is of course only right that the book highlights the activities of its most famous owners, Sun Yat-sen and Soong Ching-ling. However, in addition to this, many everyday aspects of this unique building – such as the personal property, external/internal security, sanitation, maintenance, purchasing of goods for daily living, payment of utilities (water, electricity, and gas), phone numbers, and everyday expenses – are meticulously detailed. The writing of the Annual Chronicle exhibits some problems, such as poorly-matched styles, inconsistent mentions, inappropriate generalization, repetitive description, etc. These await correction in a later edition. In sum, though, the publishing of the Annual Chronicle is a great achievement in Sun Yat-sen studies, filling in a huge lacuna in one aspect of the scholarship. This work reveals to us that, in the field of Sun Yat-sen studies, there are still vast areas left unexplored, and still much work to be done.
