No, unfortunately, this is not possible. The essential rule of 144 hour visa free transit clearly states that the immediate points before and after a mainland China destination have to be in two different countries or eligible territories (eligible territories: Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau). In other words, your itinerary is a return trip that looks like Helsinki - Shanghai - Helsinki.

You are advised to alter your journey in order to have the immediate points in two different countries or to obtain a Chinese visa in advance.
