Seeing that cigarette recycling boy broke my heart, I did the same trade growing dirt poor in Mexico City. I hope that like me his life improved over time. I want to leave it like that because we all know what happens later in China, sad.

This needs to be viewed by 21st century Chinese teenagers. If you think your life is hard now, be grateful you weren't a teenager in 1930s China. Your future prospect was to die from war, famine or poverty.

lol i don't think they consider their life very hard in comparison to the past. considering that whole business of china being the second super power in the world and whatnot.

That's not how humans work..... their life sucked, but it's accepted reality to them. If it were the other way around... if you plucked one of them from the video and dropped them in the center of Beijing today, their reality will be shattered and they will not be as grateful as you think.

Fascinating video with significantly historical values, thanks for posting it. Vignettes of lifes of ordinary people in Peking 1930s. BTW, the title showed that the film maker was Deane Dickason, who was he ?.

The title says 1931. But the timeline should be early, should be around 1910s, the pigtails means before collapse of the Qing dynastg.

Even though Queue was enforced by the Qing Dynasty, you can see that the soldiers on 6:03 are flying a variation of the Kuomintang flag, with what seems to be civilians walking inside of the forbidden city (a no-go if it were before 1912).

La Chine, c'est une grande civilation de 5000 ans, une culture d’une grande finesse. J’adore cette civilisation très cultivée et qui n’a pas attaqué ni bombardé ni détruit d’autre pays, ni détruit d’autre culture. Merci pour ce film reportage très instructif.

@elijahbenjamin80573 жыл бұрын
The swatika is an ancient Indo Aryan symbol, which was brought to India by the fore fathers of the northern Indian conquerors. It was later assimilated with the Buddhist religion and thus, centuries later when China accepted Buddhism as a mainstream religion during the Tang dynasty, the symbol came with it. So yes, the connection is there and the Nazis, however distant, had the same source as what we see in China.
