04. In 1937, Harrison Fuhrman, a photojournalist from The Times in London, came to Shaanxi to cover the Anti-Japanese Red Army and met an old man with pigtails. At this time, the Qing Dynasty had long been destroyed for 25 years, and it was extremely rare to meet men with Manchu Qing dynasty hairstyles, and curious Foreman took this photo with his camera after consultation with the elderly.

08. In August 1945, Guilin, Guangxi, a baby soldier in the ranks of the Nationalist Army. He stepped on grass shoes, was emaciated, and looked only about 10 years old. At this age, he should have grown up happily and healthily under the care of his parents, but he joined the army early and joined the anti-Japanese team. (Maybe he was an orphan who lost his parents in a war, of course, that's just my personal guess) Because he was too young, he was assigned to a groom to play the job, responsible for the simple work of feeding the horses, herding the horses, and so on. When fighting, he will also take the initiative to bring water to the soldiers on the front line, deliver food, and do what he can.
09. In September 1945, an American photojournalist, Joe O'Donnell, documented Japan after the atomic bombing. On a hill in Nagasaki, the photographer meets a boy of about 10 years old who is standing outside the crematorium carrying his dead brother on his back. The little boy's stiff and unwilling expression and posture were obviously formally militarized, and if it were not for the two atomic bombs of the United States, the little boy might soon be sent to China to invade our territory and persecute our people. Therefore, the fact that there is no unjust soul under the atomic bomb is not simply a statement, but an indisputable fact.
10. [Mother and son walking on a country road in the 1940s] The little boy walks barefoot in front. The mother who followed behind, holding an umbrella in one hand and a bamboo basket in the other.

11. Photograph taken between 1942 and 1943, a henan refugee mother with two young children. They were ragged and hungry, and the child in the mother's arms seemed to be nursing, and the older child sat next to her. Mothers who insist on feeding their children while suffering from the oppression of hunger and cold have to say that maternal love is great!

13. [1942-1943] The mother and son of the victims of the Henan disaster fled for survival. About 3 million people fled Henan at the time, most of them heading to Shaanxi. So why did the victims choose to go to Shaanxi and not somewhere else? Shaanxi Province and Henan Province are adjacent to each other and geographically close. At that time, people basically walked on two legs to escape the wilderness, and there was nothing more than a donkey cart to escape, so the fleeing famine must choose to take refuge nearby, otherwise the physical strength is not enough and the grain and grass are insufficient, and they cannot persist in the middle of the road. Another point is that the completion of the Longhai Railway has allowed Henan to have trains to Shaanxi, and some people can squeeze on the trains to reduce the physical wear and tear.

In the 1940s, children from wealthy families sat in the classroom to listen to Mr. Li teach.
15. In 1942, before the Great Famine in Henan, there were still vendors who traded in surplus grain. The American journalist Hugh Bethur recalled: "Small villages are worse than towns. The silence was frightening. The people escaped the famine unconsciously cruelly, as if a barbaric army were chasing them. ...... Uninhabited houses make the noise louder. The cries of the babies were louder than the sound of our horses' hooves. ”
16. In 1946, Life magazine photographer Jack Wilkes photographed a 66-year-old skater while passing through Beihai Park.

In the photo, Meng Xiaodong sits demurely and generously in a chair, and Wang Mintong gracefully stands next to her good sister. At that time, Wang Mintong's family lived in No. 27, Dongsi San Tiao, Beijing, and No. 26, across the wall, where Meng Xiaodong's family lived. The two young girls quickly became acquainted and became close friends.
