Wen I Tessie is too greasy
Edit I Tessie is too tired
In December 1941, when the Japanese army attacked Hong Kong, those democrats and cultural celebrities were put in a dangerous situation, and the Hong Kong compatriots were in dire straits.
Hong Kong street view
The following picture is a street scene of Hong Kong taken by the Japanese army in 1942, in the crowded streets, people come and go, walking in a hurry, women on the street are wearing cheongsams, walking sonorously and vigorously, and you can feel the anxiety of people rushing through the screen.
Compared with the other street, the upper street is obviously more prosperous, the street below is not very crowded, may be affected by the unstable political environment, there are many shops on the street, but almost none of them are open, although you can't see the expressions of the people on the street, but through the screen feel a trace of desolation on the street.
In the photo below, you can see that there are many coachmen parked on both sides of the road, almost no business, it seems that they are soliciting business in front of a high-end clubhouse, after all, the buildings shown in the picture are very tall, but unfortunately, the photo does not show the specific location.
This is a top-down view taken from above, and it is obvious that the streets of Hong Kong are not very spacious, due to the limited geographical conditions, the floors on both sides of the street are quite high, and at a glance, all the usable area is covered with buildings.
The following picture is a picture of people going to work in the fields, so some people still have a hat on their heads, which is used to shade the sun, and you can see the faint small hillside, people walking slowly on the road, in a very lazy state.
Hong kong island
This is a panorama taken on Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong is mainly divided into Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories, its geographical location is located on the east side of the Pearl River Estuary in Guangdong Province, Hong Kong is located on the north side of the north coast of the South China Sea, along the rivers of Shenzhen, adjacent to Shenzhen, and Zhuhai, its total area is about four times that of Taipei.
This is a photo taken in rainy weather, the exact location is unknown, but the main shooting angle is to record the road in Hong Kong on a rainy day, because the photo is too long from now, and the picture is static, so there is no trace of rain.
This is a picture of a Hong Kong woman working in the field, everyone is wearing coarse cloth shirts, holding work tools in their hands, the area of the hat is larger than the face, it should be the scorching sun that day, after all, the background color of the photo looks very bright, looking at the Chinese woman who is working is inexplicably a little sad.
Hong Kong port has a big port, small Hong Kong said, as well as "a hundred years of commercial port, building ships of all countries" reputation, based on Wan Chai wharf, the warehouse, the establishment of Hong Kong's first "public warehouse", that is, the former Hong Kong wharf warehouse company, looking at the initial shore docked ships, is the epitome of the commercial development of the wharf.
Bombed temples
Hong Kong, a two-storey Indian Sikh temple destroyed in World War II, was built in 1901 with a two-storey arched design at the top, and in 1938 a two-storey building was added to the Sikh religious and social center, and there is also a library in the temple.
Sikh temples play an important role in Hong Kong, the temple can accommodate up to 200 people for overnight stays, whether it is a believer of that faith or a tourist who can eat or stay overnight, and there are also worship services, which are attended by about 1,000 people on Sundays.
Hong Kong Military Restricted Area
This is a 1948 Hong Kong military restricted area, you can clearly see that the door is guarded by a gray-bearded old man, he is Indian, on its left hand side there is a huge sign printed with dense documents, is in Indian font.
In 1945, after the Japanese army invaded India, he staged a coup d'état, declaring that he would break away from France to become independent, and changed his name to "Emperor of Vietnam."
This is a picture of Nguyen Phuc Hay lighting a cigarette in his apartment, he reigned for 20 years, went into exile twice, died in Paris at the age of 84, and in 1946, Nguyen Phuc Hay began his life in exile in Hong Kong, during which he was obsessed with beauty, and there were media reports that anyone who wanted to go to him only had to visit 14 nightclubs.
Founded in 1947, the Hong Kong Xinhua News Agency is mainly divided into two parts, one is called "Xiaoshe" and the other is called "Xiaoxinhua," which is mainly responsible for the news and communication work of the real Xinhua News Agency.
During World War II, many buildings in Hong Kong were destroyed by bombing, and the Peak Club in the photo is just the tip of the iceberg, which was originally a place to carry the dreams and passions of young people, but was turned into a miasma by a Japanese bomb, and the blew up area was overgrown with weeds and the buildings looked crumbling.
This is a hospital in Hong Kong taken in 1945, although the photo is black and white, but it is not difficult to see that the entrance of the hospital has been overgrown with weeds, and the hospital is also in an empty state, looking very desolate.
The University of Hong Kong, known as the "Ivy League" in Asia, is an international public university in Hong Kong, China, ranked 22nd in the world, with a very long history, with outstanding achievements in academic research, and far-reaching influence in international exchanges and social services.
The auditorium inside the university is a historic building in Hong Kong, of which only two remain and are mainly used for journalism and media research, but in 1945, the Japanese army destroyed the auditorium and filmed horrific images.
History is full of traces, and the atrocities of the Japanese army are vividly reflected in old photographs, and these destroyed buildings are the best records of World War II, although some buildings have been restored now, but they seem to have lost the light of the past.
Looking at the old photos, I unconsciously feel a little heartache, after all, Hong Kong can get today's prosperous scene is really hard-won, which is inseparable from the help of the inland compatriots, I hope everyone can cherish today's prosperous social situation.
