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.
I was also funny enough thinking not much has changed....and you told me why...because many poor contries look pretty much like that today even...also North korea...rural Iraq, Afghanistan and so on...
Those places are still there, if you know where to look you can find them. Most of the roof is gone but the walls remain and if you can see them from above they are far more obvious as they look like catacombs, certainly nothing that we think as habitable today.

There was a city transform project in 50s which transform this lake into an artificial sightseeing pond. This tea house is still open today, near the city god(an Taoism notion) temple and is infamous among local population for providing inauthentic local food with inflated price to rip off the tourists.
I heard a story about Soviet soldiers entering Germany during their counterinvasion in 1944 encountering flushing toilets and modern plumbing for the first time. Apparently, those from the countryside, not knowing what they were, assumed they were for washing clothes or vegetables using running water.
@@jamiehg4272 Actually, it is. My grandfather was from rural Eastern Europe too (Croatia, Yugo at the time) and they all had toilets in their sheds which didn't have plumming.
As Chinese, I didn't feel humiliated watching a video like so. It is good to know a country from the point of the life of the have not's, rather than that of the have's. Thanks for sharing the video.
I understand your point. There is no reason to feel humiliated though even in the theoritical case that this was still happening today. spirits up! many nations had such hard times... Well... most of them if not all at some point in their history

My grandma was born in 1925, Hong Kong. It’s hard to believe she’s been alive through so much of our history, and now on a daily basis face times her friends back in China.
Very precious. Thank you. I always heard my father said 踩水車 (riding water bicycle ~water pump) in his childhood in mainland china, but i did not know how does it look like until i saw it here.
I love the fact that they would never have thought that years later , me ,chilling on my pc in France in 2021 with my join was watching them doing their life
Such a precious clipping. Thanks for uploading. Although I am a Chinese myself, this is still very helpful for me to learn What China looked like back then.
You're wrong, it's not 100 years, I remember 1985 to the same extent as in this video, except that people were no longer starving and life was freer, the material deprivation was not much better than in the video, at least it was still within an order of magnitude
I love seeing these videos. To see America, Europe, and China during this time and to see our ancestors and how they lived is beyond special. To see how normal life was, not as it was remembered but as it was seen.
At that time, Shanghai was ruled by the Eight-Power Coalition of the West. They are just labors or slaves.Our country has been developing since 1980, less than 40 years.
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.
My tears burst out ...these were our great-grandparents who lived hard lives . Remembering many of them will die when Japanese troops attacked Shanghai in 1937 , I can't hold my tears any more ... From ashes to prosper , we scarficed the whole three generation's personal happiness . We worked night after day , swear to make a strong and prosperity country standing in the east of the world . Falling behind means being bullied , "bully" is a simple word , but it means 20 millions of lives' disappearing ... Sorry , I can't get out from the full of blood and tears' past ! I will work hard for myself , my home , my country .
This is human nature. people do what it takes to survive. My great grand parents had worse(see Minor Asia destruction by Turks 1922) lets all be positive and go for a more human earth!
Everything should be put in perspective. The Japanese are no longer a threat, whereas Islamic extremism is alive and well. Please understand and know your history before posting ridiculous comments

@@knochengier : The chances of people from Shanghai, living in Shanghai today is very low... Cos they moved in, when it has been rebuilt, many times over again. I remember reading a magazine, written by an Italian company, Color, I think it was called. About the demolition of Beijing, and some of the old hutongs... (Cos you see, some people wants high rises, as a sign of progression.) They forget that, the younger generation has never seen or lived in non-modern buildings. I would love to live in an old buildings, and vice versa. I was quite upset that they demolished those kind of buildings... It is your legacy and heritage... Some people do not realise the sense of time. Even if this video was around the 1900s.. they cannot comprehend. Like, I did not comprehend, or accept that my hometown in HK was less established.. until everybody uploaded their own versions.. to make a collage... It then made sense... Sigh. My heart aches... Cos it is a bit of a hell hole now.. And those who won't appreciate it, would never do so either.
Contrary to the popular myth of friendly Sikh people, they obtained somewhat scary image back then, as they were unfortunately also parts of the brutal oppressive force used by British against other colonized people.
@@hantingliu882 right! Sikhs were labeled as a martial race by the British and because of the overwhelming number of tall men, it was easy for the Empire to employ them in the Far East as security forces.
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.
The Chinese are amazing: they work and work...that’s why they’re so successful. Others whine and complain .. the Chinese were horribly treated by the Brits; and now they are laughing all the way to the bank...
@Socially Acceptable RUclips Handle I'm saying acting like Chinese were hard working during this time is stupid maybe more relevant to modern day back then everyone was working gruelling jobs in factories with poor health and safety laws except the owners of those factories
I definitely can't really imagine what my ancestors had gone through because what I can get are a few short and precious footages and some words in history books. But I know they were resilient and tough. Just can't stop my tears... Always thank and respect them.
Thanks for showing this precious video. Can't image my grand-grandparents led this kind of life. They must be very happy if they saw what we have in China today.
Mikhail Kataev colours back then were very earthy . They only used natural colouring. The paint and clothing dyes were all earthy browns and dark greens and greys and dirty yellows and vibrant reds. Even some grey blue. It wouldn’t be much different.

Yeah, I'd say China's greatness was hindered by communism while places like hongkong and Taiwan are prosperous and free compared to the genocidal communist party.
Chinese civilization is based deeply on sole individual ability to work hard , thrift ( i.e. save for future needs in times of war & famines) , humble & looking after the family members & society so that culture values can survive many up & down of economics disasters, earthquake, wars etc., for past few thousands years.
I wouldn't say it was a meritocracy, the best positions in society tended to be in the civil service and that depended heavily on which family you were born into or who you knew.
Praticamente não, é um dos berços. A civilização organizada sigamos assim, também teve início lá, chegando até onde hoje é o Egito. Aí eu vejo os brs falando besteira da Ásia, eles tem muita história. Respeito demais.
Thank you for posting these videos. Although these videos are from 1935, they remind me of my childhood. When I was a child, in the 1980s, I liked playing with stone mills, spinning wheels, guillotines, and waterwheels. ,and many more..
People in the 1930s will say the same thing while making comparisons to even earlier times. Progress is relativistic. People should have a consciousness that they are living in the progress people before them had obtained for them, while making their own contributions to better societies for their descendants.

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.
@@momentary_ Lol no, Africans will be the first on eat each other since they are the most divided, conflicted and dependant continent in the world. The west is united and organized. Asia would be a true carnage since, well, China has already a history of killing of famine their own citizens for some specific reason. Now that's even more militarized, they would genocide the korean península, including other surroundings, and enact a cannibal system. They are already eating dogs so, wouldn't be much of a problem for them to eat some indians
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!
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...
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.
@@Moving_Target65 Thanks. She also learned to drive on freeways and read write and speak English after 50 years old. Therefore, I always say, it is not too old for people to learn things.

My grandfather was born on 1919, left China around late 1920s - early 1930s and moved to Philippines. He was never able to return back to Xiamen, China. He passed away 2001.
Same, my grandfather left Fujian Province in the 1920 as a true Hokkien, moved to Singapore, survived the Japanese Invasion, never went back even though he always talked about it.
this Vedio is very precious and interesting, as a Chinese, I watched how people’s real life like in 1935, and it is sad that in 1937 Japan invaded China and caused huge pain toward Chinese people. Now China has changed into a modern country, those history are still precious. normal people’s life has improved a lot. May god bless China.
I see lots of people doing lots of repetitive physical labour, life must've been hard for most.... and to think that this is before the Japanese invasion.... their futures were not bright

allgoo19 YOU are absolutely right, we start seeing a shift in labor intensive production work from China outward. why? Glad u asked... like POTUS has said, the Chinese are so smart that they have shifted from labor intensive work to technological advance development. as evidence the most recent 3 Carriers it's built. the only way to beat a Chinese is to be them, it should I quote from the infamous Bruce Lee who said "I am like water, shapeless, colorless, orderless, I can take the shape of a glass, I can the shape of anything."
That's probably a political statement. There was a Chinese warlord named Zhang Xun who commanded an entire army of traditionalist soldiers who kept the Qing ponytail. In 1917 he occupied Beijing and restored the Manchu monarchy for one week.
Wonderful to see the amazing innovations and simple technologies. These old ways are actually the most efficient of all. No terrible pollution from factories, no screaming cars and trucks and planes, all making cancerous by-products. Sitting at a loom, or shifting logs with a couple of men and a river is art as much as work. Can't help but love and respect these people, so much better than the trash factories of today. Thank you for these glimpses of a lovely China.

Apparently, those from the countryside, not knowing what they were, assumed they were for washing clothes or vegetables using running water.

The toughest day for Chinese people, those people might not know a horrible war was approaching a couple of years later...
yes and your beard hair are not real
At that time, Shanghai was ruled by the Eight-Power Coalition of the West. They are just labors or slaves.Our country has been developing since 1980, less than 40 years.
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.
Pain and suffering was the Chinese reality from the Opium Wars until the deaths of Mao and Chiang.
Jib Wangler Now the Chinese are absolutely loving and embracing another con scheme, the cryptocurrency, perfectly voluntarily.
My tears burst out ...these were our great-grandparents who lived hard lives . Remembering many of them will die when Japanese troops attacked Shanghai in 1937 , I can't hold my tears any more ...
From ashes to prosper , we scarficed the whole three generation's personal happiness . We worked night after day , swear to make a strong and prosperity country standing in the east of the world .

Chinese civilization is based deeply on sole individual ability to work hard , thrift ( i.e. save for future needs in times of war & famines) , humble & looking after the family members & society so that culture values can survive many up & down of economics disasters, earthquake, wars etc., for past few thousands years.
yes, basically happy being slaves.
Hierarchical societies have been the global norm for the vast majority of the history of human civilisation. There's clearly something to it!
I wouldn't say it was a meritocracy, the best positions in society tended to be in the civil service and that depended heavily on which family you were born into or who you knew.
Civil Service Examinations were available to everyone.
I agree except for the humble bit. That has not been my experience - cultures with humble citizens tend to get crushed in this world.
China was like this when my father was born.He has experienced everything from an agricultural society to today.

Great footage of the past. It's nice to have a mini time machine from pictures taken so long ago,
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!
amazing how independently thinking and self-aware she was at 3, indeed a legend!
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...
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.

Glad u asked... like POTUS has said, the Chinese are so smart that they have shifted from labor intensive work to technological advance development. as evidence the most recent 3 Carriers it's built. the only way to beat a Chinese is to be them, it should I quote from the infamous Bruce Lee who said "I am like water, shapeless, colorless, orderless, I can take the shape of a glass, I can the shape of anything."
3:02 interesting to see that the shoe cobbler and the person walking past him still have their 'queues' or ponytails from the Qing dynasty
It's a goddamn feudal society
That's probably a political statement. There was a Chinese warlord named Zhang Xun who commanded an entire army of traditionalist soldiers who kept the Qing ponytail. In 1917 he occupied Beijing and restored the Manchu monarchy for one week.
Wonderful to see the amazing innovations and simple technologies. These old ways are actually the most efficient of all. No terrible pollution from factories, no screaming cars and trucks and planes, all making cancerous by-products. Sitting at a loom, or shifting logs with a couple of men and a river is art as much as work. Can't help but love and respect these people, so much better than the trash factories of today.
