See history from old photos, and look at the future from old photos.
Hello everyone, I am Shijun, a post-80s otaku who collects old photos for readers. Today I will continue to share old photos for everyone.
In 1910, after Japan occupied Korea, in order to further invade northeast China, Japan implemented a policy in Korea, that is, "Japanese people plant fresh, fresh people plant." Simply put, it is to systematically migrate Koreans to the colder northeast of China, and then to the relatively mild climate of North Korea.
According to historical records, an average of 14,000 people from Japan moved to Korea every year. In 1928 alone, the Japanese moved into Korea with 4,400 households and seized 10,174 machibu (1 machibu = 0.99 hectares). By 1929, Japanese finance capitalists owned 62% of Korea's land.
Koreans who lost their land moved into northeast China in large numbers, reclaiming land, seizing water sources, and squeezing the living space of China's ordinary people, causing great social and economic damage to northeast China.
Especially after the 918 incident, not only the eastern part of the mainland near North Korea and the central region with convenient transportation were distributed a large number of Korean immigrants, but even the remote eastern region of Inner Mongolia also appeared footprints of Korean immigrants.
Today's old photographs were taken in 1930 by a Japanese photographer. He documented the lives of North Korean immigrants on the Yalu River. Below, let's take a look!
The picture shows the turbulent Yalu River. The Yalu River is the border river between China and North Korea, and the other bank of the river is North Korea.
On the banks of the Yalu River, the land cleared by the North Koreans. These lands were originally Chinese. The Japanese drove the Koreans to the northeast, and if these people wanted to survive, they had to seize the barren mountains for reclamation. It can be seen that the Japanese are a very bad people.
On the banks of the Yalu River, North Koreans are logging.

On the banks of the Yalu River, the Japanese built a track to transport timber. Step by step, Japan encroached on the northeast of the mainland, and they cut a large amount of wood in the northeast.
