Shizhao Newspaper House is a printing organization built by the Seventh Day Adventist Church of Christianity. It started in Hong Kong in the early days and was introduced to Hunan, Guangdong and other places in 1891. Although the newspaper office published promotional materials at that time, there was no printing house. In 1905, a printing house was set up in Shangcai, Henan

In 1908, Shizhao Newspaper House set up a printing office on Yuhang Road, Shanghai, and published Christian journals, Shizhao Monthly and The Last Pastoral Voice. By 1917, the circulation had exceeded 40000 copies. In 1931, the circulation of the “Chronicle Monthly” exceeded 80000 copies.
