This photograph was taken in September 1944 on Songshan Mountain in Lameng Township, Longling County, Yunnan Province, where two men on the ground were Japanese soldiers captured by Chinese troops and soldiers armed with M1 carbines were soldiers of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.
After the Chinese Expeditionary Force failed to enter Burma in 1942, the Chinese Expeditionary Force, which had retreated to the east bank of the Nu River in Yunnan Province, launched a counterattack on June 4, 1944 against the Japanese troops stationed on the west bank of the Nu River after two years of rest, which was also the beginning of the Chinese War of Resistance Against Japan.
At that time, the Japanese army built a large number of blockhouses on the west bank of the Nu River, causing huge casualties to the officers and men of the attacking expeditionary force, and the Japanese army built more than 40 large and small fortresses from 1942 to 1944, and they forcibly recruited more than a thousand people from Yunnan, Burma, India, and Southeast Asia when building the fortress.
After the construction of the fort was completed, the Japanese army killed all the more than 1670 civilians who built the fort, don't look at the two Japanese soldiers lying on the ground injured in the photo, they look pitiful, they are very cruel when they kill unarmed civilians and Chinese soldiers.
Both Japanese soldiers were seriously wounded in the legs, and the one lying on his stomach was so thirsty that he could only lie there and drink dirty water, and for such shameless invaders, I can only say that they deserved it.
Although the three people in this photo are wearing Qing Dynasty clothes, they are not qing dynasty people, and this photo should be taken in the Republic of China period after the fall of the Qing Dynasty.
Although the man sitting in the middle is wearing the official clothes of the Qing Dynasty, the beard on his face is obviously pasted on, and the man standing on the left can see that his head does not have the iconic yin and yang head of the Qing Dynasty man because he is not wearing a hat.
It was supposed to be a deliberately posed art photograph, with the man on the right pulling a belt in his hand, and on the other side of the belt was an animal dressed like a toad.
This photograph was taken in 1895 in The Golden State on the Yalu River, and it can be seen from the couplet on the back door that this is what happened at the doorstep of a Chinese people.
The photograph shows two villagers being forced to kneel on the ground by a group of Japanese soldiers, their hands tied, and the man's face on the left has been swollen.
In 1895, when the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War broke out, when the Japanese army invaded China from land and water, the Japanese army landed from the Shandong region all the way using the navy, burned and looted the people of Shandong along the way, and also created the famous Jinan Massacre.
Another way was to invade the northeast region of our country by land from Korea, and after the Japanese army invaded the northeast region, it caused a large number of casualties to the local people, and these Japanese troops had to burn and loot almost every village.
This photograph was taken in 1942 in Qinzhou, Guangxi Province, and two soldiers wearing French helmets were soldiers of the 55th Regiment of the newly organized 19th Division of the 46th Army of the Gui Army.
After the fall of Chinju, these two soldiers were unfortunately captured by the Japanese army, and from the photo, you can see that there is a group of Japanese troops behind them, but the focus of those Japanese troops seems to be in the other direction.
This should have been filmed on the day of the fall of Qinzhou, the Japanese army was still cleaning up the battlefield, these two Guangxi soldiers they stood barefoot, not afraid of the Surrounding Japanese army, they only hated themselves for not being able to prevent the Japanese army from occupying Qinzhou.
This photograph was taken in the Guangzhou area in 1889, and this is a photograph of a young lady from a wealthy family.
From the photo, we can see that this young lady still looks very young, and there is a beard that follows behind, and the young and beautiful mane is also very young and beautiful.
In addition to the young lady and the lady, there were two sedans, who actually traveled barefoot, and if they were not poor, they would never have carried the palanquin barefoot, carrying such a heavy palanquin, and if there was a hard stone on the road, the consequences of their feet stepping on it would be unimaginable.
The workmanship of this palanquin is not very good, the two slender wooden sticks have been bent and deformed, if the person on the palanquin weighs a little heavier, the palanquin may be damaged.
This photograph was taken in 1912 in the Ziyang area of Sichuan Province, and it can be seen that it is on a very beautiful hillside where local farmers are trading straw.
Straw is a very common item in the countryside, especially in the former agricultural society, where almost every household had rice, and these straws could be used to build the roof of houses in ancient times, and could also be used as animal feed, so in that era, straw was also a very precious item.
Because the Qing Dynasty has only recently fallen, people here are still wearing the clothes of the Qing Dynasty, some of them still have yin and yang heads on their heads, and some people have begun to grow hair on their foreheads.
This photograph was taken outside the North Gate of Shanghai in 1909, and through this photo, you can see how bustling Shanghai was at that time.
It can be seen that this is an intersection outside the north gate, the street is lined with rickshaws, and there is a police officer on duty in the middle of the road.
In addition to the rickshaw, there is also a two-person palanquin in the lower left corner, the palanquin is sitting in a lady, in fact, behind the rickshaw, the way ordinary people travel is not worse than these rich and noble families who sit in the palanquin.
This photo was taken in Beijing at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and in the photo are two flag men playing with birds.
The world of the Qing Dynasty was built by the Eight Banners Army, and the combat effectiveness of these Eight Banners in the entrepreneurial period can be said to be the most powerful army in East Asia at that time.
Only in the late Qing Dynasty, the descendants of the Eight Banner Army had abandoned their martial arts, and they relied on the high welfare given to them by the imperial court and directly lived a life of decay, and by the end of the Qing Dynasty, the eight flags of Beijing City could only play birds and fight clams.
