More than 100 years ago, it was the beginning of the last century, the end of the last century, more than 100 years ago, China was the end of the Qing Dynasty, the humiliating era of aggression by Western powers, and the humiliating history of semi-colonialism and semi-feudalism. In order to save the Chinese nation, countless benevolent people in China rose up to resist and look for a way to save the country and save the people. The oppressed Chinese people, under the leadership of the great revolutionary forerunners, waged an indomitable struggle and finally overthrew the corrupt Qing Dynasty and drove out the foreign invaders, Chinese people have since stood up. As Chinese, we must not forget history, keep in mind the mission, and know that "shame is known and then courage".
Let's first look at China more than 100 years ago in the French pictorial Le Petit Journal:
In 1904, the Russo-Japanese War broke out, the battlefield was in northeast China, in September of that year, the Russian army attacked Lushun, the war was raging, the smoke was filled, but the war between the imperialists was waged in China at that time, and countless Chinese people were displaced.
In 1904, the late Qing dynasty people were hung up and beaten with sticks in Harbin. The people of the late Qing Dynasty were enslaved and humiliated by the invaders, and such a picture deeply stung the hearts of every countryman.
In the eyes of the French, the Chinese women at that time were like this, and there was a dragon flag of the Qing Dynasty in the upper right corner. In the lower left corner is a medicine bottle, which may be an advertisement for drugs.
Although cixi, the western empress dowager of the late Qing Dynasty, was called Lafayette in the French pictorial, but from the appearance of no Buddha, she had a fierce face, and I still remember the brazenness when she said the sentence: "Measure the material strength of China, and tie the joy of the country".
The Qing Dynasty and imperialism together slaughtered the Boxers. At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, the Eight-Power Alliance invaded China, the Chinese people rose up in resistance, and the Boxers cooperated with the Qing army to fight and effectively resisted imperialist aggression, but in the later period, Empress Dowager Cixi asked the invaders for peace and massacred the Boxers together with the Eight-Nation Alliance.
In 1900, members of the Boxer Rebellion were killed by the invading forces of the Eight-Power Coalition, and their heads hung on the city walls. The Boxer Rebellion had a simple patriotic ideology, was a patriotic movement against imperialist aggression, and was an anti-aggression struggle to save the late Qing Chinese people who were enslaved by imperialism.
Imperialism cut cakes together, and China in the late Qing Dynasty was the "cake" under the knife of imperialism, they forcibly divided the spheres of influence, imperialism fought for it, and it was the Chinese people who suffered at that time. This picture is "another form of situational chart."
In 1912, Yuan Shikai announced that he had cut off his braids, and saw that he was wearing a "dragon robe" embroidered with a golden dragon, a look of solipsism, but he was only deliberately trying to steal the fruits of victory of the Xinhai Revolution.
In 1911, the first plane to fly over China, both dignitaries and ordinary people stopped and watched, perhaps because the aircraft made too much noise, the cattle panicked, running around, and two children chasing the out-of-control pigs.
Photo of the New Army formed by the Qing Dynasty in 1909. After the Sino-Japanese War, in order to enhance its military strength, the Qing Dynasty formed a new type of army by Zhang Zhidong and others, which hired foreigners to train in full accordance with the Western military system, training and equipment, and was the last regular army with combat effectiveness in the Qing Dynasty.
In Shanghai in 1900, General Warren inspected the French army in Shanghai.
During the Boxer Rebellion in 1900, the Boxers killed the German Baron Klinder at the west entrance of Dongdan Zongbu Hutong. The incompetent Qing Dynasty succumbed to the unreasonable demands of Germany and built a stone arch in 1902 inside the south gate of Zhongshan Park to commemorate Baron Klinder.
Sitting on the palanquin was Li Hongzhang, a heavy minister of the Qing Dynasty, carrying the palanquin were Qing dynasty soldiers, and on both sides were the Japanese army and the Russian army carrying guns.
On November 14 and November 15, 1908, the Guangxu Emperor and Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty died successively, and the courtiers bowed down. Historical records record that the Guangxu Emperor died violently, and Empress Dowager Cixi died of illness. More than 100 years ago, the old newspaper of the French daily newspaper recorded that China under the Qing Dynasty at the beginning of the last century was invaded by great powers.
