When it comes to Wuhan in China, it is not only an economically prosperous city, but also because of the epidemic, Wuhan has become a heroic city, and foreigners have thrown appreciative eyes on Wuhan. As a century-old city in China, was Wuhan developed in the middle of the last century? So how far is it from New York, the second largest city in the United States?
Wuhan in 1950:
Warehousing companies
As we all know, in the early days of liberation, the major cities accelerated the pace of development. Wuhan took the lead in developing and driving the economy of Hubei as a whole. The picture above is a group photo of the five good groups of Wuhan Warehousing Company in the 50s of the last century, do you know which five are good?
mold
Have you ever worked in a mold factory? Mold factories can now generally make mobile phone cases, TV cases can also do the shape of cars. In the last century, the large molds in our country have not yet appeared, and the small new molds are mainly carved by human hands. The picture above is a mold factory in Wuhan in the 1950s, do you have an impression of this mode of operation?
Wuhan University
When it comes to wuhan universities, everyone must have heard of Wuhan University, Wuhan University is our country's 985 construction university. In fact, in addition to Wuhan University, Wuhan has many other famous 211s. The picture above is a photo of the entrance of the national Wuhan University when it was established in the 1950s, when it was called National Wuhan University.
The first locomotive
Do you know which cities that make locomotives are famous? Xiao Bei knows that there is Zhuzhou, and zhuzhou is particularly famous for making high-speed rail locomotives. The picture above shows that in the 50s of the last century, Wuhan was the first self-made locomotive, and people were very happy at that time, and the front personnel should be the main person in charge of the locomotive.
Wuchang Station
As we all know, Wuhan is composed of three districts, Hankou, Wuchang and Wuhan. The picture above shows Wuchang Station in the 1950s, when wuchang station was established, from Wuchang to Wuhan city is not only faster and more convenient, but also drives the local economic development. In addition, the three regions are connected into a whole.
New York in the 50s
barbershop
Pictured here is a barber shop in New York City, which serves mostly black people. As you can see from the picture, although the barbershop is a bit shabby, it is also readily available, which is in New York after all. At that time, many of our small urban barbershops should not have such conditions, and the barbershops in Shanghai should be as good as this.
New York Street Photography
This picture surprised Xiao Bei, who did not expect the streets of New York in the 50s of the last century to be so bustling. The tall buildings on both sides of the road are not only towering, but the buildings are beautiful and the roads are neat. The roads are full of cars. And the two most important sisters in the camera are wearing special fashion, red skirts with red high heels, and teddy bears in their hands, New York at that time was really prosperous!
mannequin
Above, on the top floor of a tall building in New York, the model takes promotional photos. As can be seen from the picture, the high-rise buildings in the distance are lined up, and the roads and streets are full of cars, and there are basically no rickshaws in sight. The model at the front of the camera, wearing a pink skirt and dyed red hair, looks very fashionable.
Aerial view of New York
This picture is an aerial view of New York, and as can be seen from the picture, New York at that time was completely an industrialized, modern and developed city, with high-rise buildings towering into the clouds, so grand. At that time, there were very few cities in our country with such buildings.
New York Youth
Pictured here are young people in a park in New York City. As can be seen from this picture, the young people at that time were wearing jeans, leather coats, small leather shoes on their feet, and their hair was waxed, so that they were not fashionable. At that time, children in many parts of our country could not wear clothes, let alone dress so decently. I have to say that the life of the residents of New York at that time should be particularly good.
Summary: As can be seen from the above pictures, even if Wuhan in China was particularly developed at that time, as a century-old city, the gap with New York is still quite large. Even now, New York has surpassed Wuhan by a lot, what do you think? The only chinese that can match New York should be China's Shanghai and Hong Kong.
