In 1979, a Cambodian boy was caught stealing food and tied him to a stake as punishment. This position allows the punished person to leave the ground with his heels off the ground and his hands unable to move, which can be very painful for a long time. The boy was said to have been lucky enough to be tied up for only one day.
This method of punishment is somewhat similar to the torture "beauty pile" in the late Qing Dynasty in China. This kind of torture is also a cross shape of a wooden stake and a horizontal wood, and the prisoner's body is tied to the stake, and his hands are straight and tied to the horizontal wood, and the slight difference is that the prisoner adopts a kneeling position. The servant pressed the bamboo bar on the prisoner's calf and stepped on the bamboo bar, and the prisoner would faint in pain.
In 1937, the Japanese army was crossing the Great Wall. On July 7 of that year, the Japanese army provoked the Lugou Bridge Incident near Beiping, and the Sino-Japanese War broke out in full swing, known internationally as the Second Sino-Japanese War.
On the eve of the "July Seventh" incident, the Japanese Army had 17 standing divisions, 4 mixed brigades, 4 cavalry brigades, 5 field heavy artillery brigades, 3 tank companies (including tanks and armored vehicles), 16 flying squadrons (54 flying squadrons), and garrisons (equivalent to infantry brigades), totaling about 380,000 people; the Chinese Army had 182 infantry divisions and 46 independent brigades, 9 cavalry divisions and 6 independent brigades, 4 artillery brigades, 20 independent regiments, and a small number of other special forces units. The total strength of the army is about 2 million people.

Because of the common dream, 3 Asian girls with different cultural backgrounds met in the distant North American continent. What was their fate? No one knows. Life is really amazing.
In 1926, a lifeguard on the Rock River in the small town of Dixon. The handsome guy was only 15 years old, and his dream was to become a firefighter.
But he apparently didn't have the life to be a firefighter. In April 1937, he was given the opportunity to audition for the film The Philadelphia Story, after which he received a 7-year, one-year probationary contract from Warner. In May, this handsome man came to Hollywood with almost all his belongings and began to dream of stardom.
Helplessly, there are too many handsome men in Hollywood, he has starred in many films, but he has not become a star as desired. In April 1942, he joined the United States Air Force. At the end of 1945, he retired from the rank of captain and returned to Hollywood to shoot. He has been involved in the shooting of nearly 50 films, and none of them have splashed too much.
Surprisingly, his political career was unusually successful.
In 1966, he was elected Governor of California. He was re-elected in 1970. On November 4, 1980, he was elected the 40th President of the United States, becoming the oldest president in office at the age of 69. From civilian to president, he embodies the "American Dream" perfectly.
His biographer believes that he was more accomplished in some ways than Franklin D. Roosevelt. He has the power to restore the confidence of the American people in their country. He has been called the "great communicator," the most persuasive political orator since Franklin Roosevelt, whose speeches blended faith, focus, and humor that no one in his generation could match.
He was Ronald Wilson Reagan.
In 1910, Anna Pavlovna, a well-known ballet dancer in russia at the beginning of the 20th century, posed in traditional costumes.
Russian ballet has a lofty place in the world. Russian ballet originated in the 1730s during the time of Peter the Great. As early as the beginning of the 18th century, Peter the Great began to promote "total Westernization" in Russia, promulgating various legal provisions aimed at bringing Russia to Europe's standards.
In 1702, Russia issued a decree requiring aristocratic women to participate in the social activities of high society, regardless of whether they were married or not, and announced that large balls were held regularly in Moscow and Petersburg, so that the upper classes learned French dance, and the folk naturally followed suit. Russia's admiration for French culture, which is close to obsession, laid the foundation for the development of Russian ballet.
In 1738, Petersburg opened Russia's first ballet school (now the Vaganova Russian Ballet Academy). In 1742, Petersburg created the first ballet company, and these two places later became the two major ballet centers in Russia. After several generations of unremitting efforts, Russian ballet finally surpassed France in the second half of the 19th century and became the king of classical ballet in the world.
During World War II, Soviet tankers surrendered to Romanian soldiers, produced by the Romanian Propaganda Department in 1942.
This photograph was once considered to have been deliberately posed by the Romanian propaganda department for publicity needs. The skeptics mainly had two reasons: first, because Soviet tankers generally did not wear steel helmets, and second, the shape of steel helmets was very similar to that of two Romanian soldiers.
In World War II, as a vassal state of Germany, Romania was not only an important fuel supply for the German army, but also the most minions that participated in the war against the Soviet Union. Throughout the war against the Soviet Union, the Romanian army lost more than 600,000 people, including 380,000 dead or missing (including 110,000 detained by the Soviet Union after the war).
At the end of World War II, Romania was "liberated" by the Soviet Army, after which the Romanian Army followed the Soviet Army into Hungary, and later moved to Czechoslovakia and Austria. During the war against Germany, the Romanian army lost nearly 170,000 more people, of which 21,035 were killed and 58,443 were missing.
After the end of World War II, the Socialist Republic of Romania became a member of the socialist camp of the Soviet Union. In December 1989, the Socialist Republic of Romania was renamed Romania and implemented a three-pronged, multi-party system of government.
In 1967, Che Guevara was executed by the Bolivian army before.
Born in Argentina in 1928, Che Guevara became close comrades-in-arms with the Castro brothers in 1955 and was one of the main founders and leaders of the Communist Party of Cuba, the Republic of Cuba and the Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces. After Cuba's independence, he became a senior leader of the Cuban government from 1959. Since then, his differences with Castro on issues such as relations with the Soviet Union and assistance to the Revolution in the Third World have become increasingly serious. In 1965, Che Guevara left Cuba and traveled to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Bolivia to try to ignite the flames of the revolution, and was finally arrested and shot in Bolivia.
"Wearing a black beret, smoking a cigar, long curly hair, deep and melancholy eyes", this is the well-known image of Che Guevara. "Red Robin Hood", "Communist Don Quixote", "The Perfect Man", "Romantic Adventurer", various accolades were imposed on Che Guevara, who later became a symbol and a symbol of counterculture.
Che Guevara was a man of revolutionary passion and an impulsive personality. According to Castro's personal correspondent, Che Guevara "kills as easily as porridge." Guevara was never opposed to violence, and he once described in his diary the process of executing defecting soldiers with pistols; he favored collective executions, believing that it was not only "necessary" but also "important" for Cuba; and after the outbreak of the Cuban missile crisis, Guevara claimed that if the missiles were under Cuban control, Cuba would ignite missiles. He repeatedly reiterated his view that for the cause of liberation, even if millions of people could be killed in a nuclear war, it would be worth it.
There are several versions of the scene when Che Guevara was executed, and it is difficult to restore today. Although decades after his death, Che Guevara's life is still full of controversy, and Time magazine named him one of the hundred most influential figures of the twentieth century.
In 1980, two cattlemen— former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Alfred Kissinger— and top country singer Dolly Parton— were at a cocktail party in New York.
Henry Kissinger was born in Germany in 1923, of Jewish descent, and became a U.S. citizen in 1943. Graduated from Harvard University, he is a well-known American diplomat, expert on international issues, and former US Secretary of State. Kissinger is probably the most well-known U.S. secretary of state in China — between 1969 and 1977, Kissinger played a central role in U.S. foreign policy and played an important role in the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States. On May 9, 2016, Kissinger received the U.S. Department of Defense Medal for Excellence in Public Service. To this day, the 98-year-old Kissinger often speaks publicly about international affairs.
Born in 1946 in Dolly Parton, Tennessee, she has shown an exceptional musical talent since childhood: she can compose music at the age of 5, start performing on television at the age of 10, and record at the age of 11. In 1971, Dolly Parton won the first country music chart with a song "Joshua", and gradually established herself as the "first talented woman in the country music scene".
In a career spanning more than 30 years, Dolly Parton has more than 50 best-selling albums, 22 country number one songs, 10 gold and platinum record sales records, 6 Grammy Awards, and her favorite wig and shiny costumes on stage have become unique scenes in the music scene. No female artist can compare to her in the field of country music, and Dolly Parton's name is almost synonymous with the most famous artists in country music.
