Old Chinese cities in 1935 中國城市

Glimpses of Hong Kong, Macau, Canton and Shanghai long ago. This is how Western people were shown other parts of the world then. Sound is of course improvised. Films at the time were colored afterwards sometimes to give them a colorfilm look. Often scenes had different hues for inside and outside scenes.

The history of Shanghai spans over a thousand years and closely parallels the development of modern China. Originally a small agricultural village, Shanghai developed during the late Qing dynasty (1644-1912) as one of China's principal trading ports. Although nominally part of China, in practice foreign diplomats controlled the city under the policy of extraterritoriality. Since the economic reforms of the early 1990s the city has burgeoned to become one of Asia's major financial centers and the world's busiest container port.

Incorrect, the Eight Power coalition in reality has collapse by this 1908 and by the time the Qing dynasty fell, by this time China was ruled mainly by the KMT and a few collection of warlords, and the KMT and CCP had started a civil war, while Japan had occupied Manchuria. A full scale occupation by Japan was about to be launch 2 years later, this footage was taken in Hong Kong, so this area was relatively spared from the second world war.

I found this fascinating. The Huxingting (Willow) tea house still stands, as does the lake. Its surrounded by shops and cafes in an area that has been extensively and sensitively redeveloped. There is a Qing Dynasty house opposite it that is well worth a visit.

My mom told me of her grandmother when she was 3yrs old she would run away and hide at her uncle's house across the street whenever her parents would try to bind her feet. They kept trying to force her to bind her feet for years until they finally gave up lamenting, "No one will marry you now because your feet are too big! They will think that you are a village girl and not from a good family! No respectable man will marry you!" Thinking about it, my great grandmother would make a pretty good model for a character in a story!

[@electricityofmind6300]

But back then, there was no medicines... so... people have to keep their immune system kept on form, right ? Each time a part of your body hurts.. it is the white anti-bodies that actually keeps you alive... Some of the vaccine concept is based on similar concepts... Sometimes when you think about things, being chinese, wasn't as brutal as it implies. Otherwise, how did people survived for so long ? The yellow river people were kept alive, for a lot longer...

[@wfireC]

My mom was about the same time frame as your grandma. Her mom was also trying to bind her feet at 3 years old. She cried loudly, and her father could not stand it. He said to my grandma, “It is the republic now. People don’t believing in binding girls’ feet. Maybe we don’t bind her feet.” My grandma answered angrily, “If she could not marry well, it would all be your fault!” It was fortunate that they had not broken my mom’s bones in her feet. She was able to climb trees and swim in the river as a young girl. Of course, her family thought her a disgrace to the family. She ran away from an unwanted marriage at 14, 3 days before her wedding. She joined the Chinese army and worked as an army nurse in WWIi.

These people lived without electricity and air conditioning. Some people still live without electricity and air conditioning or even running water in Africa. They have to walk hundreds of meters to a water source to get water. When the electricity goes down, Western countries will be panicking and attacking each other, while those Africans will just keep living life as usual.
