The Boxer Rebellion smashed the imperialist powers' arrogant plan to divide China, dealt a heavy blow to the reactionary rule of the Qing government, and hastened its demise. However, after the failure, the Qing government hunted down and killed the Boxers in order to shirk their responsibilities, and the picture shows that the Boxers were beheaded at the execution ground, surrounded by crowds, which was very sad to watch.
The picture shows the old photos of the manchurian rich, such clothes were almost never seen by ordinary families at that time, if a family can wear such clothes, they are either rich or powerful!
A rich man in the photo studio is pictured, sitting on a chair with a simple small table on the side. The old man holds the book in his right hand, indicating that he is a reader. Holding a fan in his left hand, it is also a symbol of the literati inker.
In the late Qing Dynasty, the landlord's wife and the current posture were the same, very imposing. A landlord's wife passes through a small alley, and a group of beggars hope that the landlord's wife will be able to give away some money. But the landlord's wife walked domineeringly and ignored the beggars. The beggar's tattered clothes contrasted clearly with the glamorous landlord's wife.
In the late Qing Dynasty, a large event was held on the border of Yunnan, where elephants and baby elephants walked together on the streets.
