After a lot of hard work? By whom? I thought the Tiananmen Square Protest by Beijing University Students and Beijing Residents in 1989 and the Deng Xiaoping's massacre of the Beijing students and citizens is what forced the Chinese Communist Party to allow a controlled influx of industrial manufacturers to open up factories in Communist China. Deng and his Communist cronies were worried that if they just continue as they have since Mao's death then there would be mass protests all across communist-controlled China. Industrial manufacturers from free-market capitalist, democratic Republics brought their skills and factories into to a backward and under-developed third-world country (i.e. China) and gave the Chinese people the modern conveniences the rest of the free world had been enjoying since the end of WWII. Let us not forget that Mao's Great Leap Forward and Agricultural Collectivization from 1957-1962 starved 30 to 45 million peasant Chinese farmers and their families to death. The Chinese Communist government is one of the most incompetent governments in world history. The Chinese Nationalist Party overthrew the last Qing Emperor in hopes of establishing a modern Republic. The former feudal lords of the Qing Emperor empowered by their private armies, the Japanese Imperial Army invasion of China, and the Stalin-backed Chinese Communist Army ended any hope of democratic Republican rule of China. The Chinese Communists seized control of China they made sure China would remain backwards and poor. Second largest economy in the world. Are you sure? The Chinese Communist Party is a totalitarian government. They control everything including all information. Are you sure they are the second largest economy in the world? When the Mao and Chinese Communist were starving 30 to 45 million Chinese peasant farmers and their family to death. The Chinese Communists covered up the famine caused by their own policies. The Chinese Communists covered up the deaths. The Chinese Communists presented fake news that Communist China was socialist utopia, a land of plenty. The Chinese Communists are good at one thing. Lying.
People feel they need so much because society dictates it to them, and advertizing plays with their mind all day long telling them they need everything. I have lived in Vietnam for 11 years, and much of life here is just one meal to the next and no worry about tomorrow, with many of the same kinds of scenes in this great video. Today, you won't find self storage facilities everywhere in most of Asia...because most people don't have anything to put in them as compared to America where people have so much extra they need an extra place to stash it. Thankful that people at the time had enough forward thinking to take videos like this in a documentary style. Most likely to show and view when when they got back home, but probably never realized the historical significance they would have decades later.
Self storage facilities don't exist in America only because we have too many things. They exist because Americans live transient lives. We often must store our possessions in temporary places because we will be moving from city to city many times in our lives. This mentality and freedom doesn't exist in many other places. An Asian is more likely to die in the town where he was born than an American. And, sadly, sometimes the storage facilities are used by people who are nearly homeless. When they are evicted from their homes, they will scratch out a living for enough money to store their things until they can again find a home. Part of a contract at these facilities states that you will not live in the space that you rent. Sadly, I personally have known people who have done that!
@@kritische3959 China has greatly changed since Mao's time. I was there from 1999-2012 and I am an economics professor. The economics used now is mainstream but the dictatorship was lessened after Mao died. Since Xi Jinping got there his dictatorship has become worse than it was before he was president. The USA and China are both dynamic. that is they are both changing in their own ways It is always interesting. take care.
1998-ban voltam Kínában. Akkor Xian és Peking között, a vonatból még láttam hasonló falvakat, mint ebben a videóban. Ugyanakkor már álltak a traverzek, amiket akkor nem tudtam mire vélni. Ma talán tudom, hogy a gyorsvasút, vagy autópálya tartói lehettek.(?)
They told me before Deng Xiaoping, everyone was ax murdering each other and dying off starvation. These guys look quite peace full and well fed. In fact, this looks like Mumbai or Delhi of the 1960s
disway71 it’s 100% wuhan, it’s a super city just like shanghai, at that time, wuhan is as important as shanghai, however this city paid a lot tax to government in order to develop other city, such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen. I was born in wuhan, I know the history of this city. You can go there nowadays and you still can see these characters and it still super huge city nowadays.
Shanghai and Wuhan were very similar by then. They were both influenced by foreign countries like UK, US and Russia. You can tell by the buildings. Hankou was like the bund in Shanghai
@@carmenw4326 ah, yes. Thankyou. I wondered about that. The buildings at the 3 and a half minute mark look very Victorian or western. We have similar late 1800s buildings in my home town of Rockhampton QLD Australia. Also the domed looking building 5:30 minutes into the video. Fantastic footage.

this is amazing to see ... as close as we can get to time travel ..Thank you so much Michael
Thank you, this is important documentation!
Thank you, really a video of historical significance.
這是我出生前9年的錄影，我來自武漢，雖然我不確定這拍攝的是不是武漢，這真是讓我覺得很奇妙，謝謝你的上傳!
1:03招牌上写着北京王麻子刀剪厂，感觉更可能是北京啊
Forty years ago, poor thatched huts could be seen everywhere. Fortunately, after hard work, China is now the second largest economy in the world

@@duckbizniz663 you think anyones gonna read that
why do people make life so complicated when all we really need is food and shelter
Will Wen
Because the Capitalists wanted you to be their slaves.
Oh, really? Like animals?
Dear Michael...i thaught it was quite difficult to enter mainland china at that time as a forigener....thanks a lot for uploading^^
Yeah, nowadays is convenient, we have all developed
Very beautiful, relaxing, quiet, natural, and peaceful. No pressure. I like it more than Wuhan today.
No 007 movies to watch in 1960's. but Chinese people don't need stuff like that.
HAIHUA CHEN
Of course, we can live without it.
That’s the thing these people were forced to live this way.
Lots of interesting short clips of daily life. My China videos concentrate on locations and the people I travel with since 2006.
amazing footage. thank you.
Geweldige opnames Michael! We hebben ervan genoten.

Простите, но что за музыка играет? Может, подскажет кто-нибудь?
Thank you.Very good
Nov. 1978 left China, I do not know much the new China. Northern China was not the same as South, even crops are not the same.
great video to teach historical geography of Mao's Red China pre cultural revolution
里面的小孩现在都60多岁，当爷爷了吧，说不定拿着这个视频去武汉，能找到视频里的人，这就有意思了
Beautiful Images
1998-ban voltam Kínában. Akkor Xian és Peking között, a vonatból még láttam hasonló falvakat, mint ebben a videóban. Ugyanakkor már álltak a traverzek, amiket akkor nem tudtam mire vélni. Ma talán tudom, hogy a gyorsvasút, vagy autópálya tartói lehettek.(?)
This is beautiful and so much of it was the same when I worked there all over the country in 1995. China has lost so much.
They told me before Deng Xiaoping, everyone was ax murdering each other and dying off starvation. These guys look quite peace full and well fed. In fact, this looks like Mumbai or Delhi of the 1960s
God bless Wuhan ppl. May God help them get through this terrible time of Coronavirus .
这部电影的第一个镜头是北京, 影像中的火车站台是河北省邢台市
Thanks for identifying the location. Most comments talk about Wuhan.
They had something that China doesn't have today......a sky.
Who shot the movies?
3:25 why did I heard the chime from the electric bike
Please boss I am want Bangladesh old video
Geweldig..dank u
Hi, Michael, how did you get into Wuhan by that time? Great job! I am pretty sure some museums in Wuhan will buy your videos.
1964? Ten years later, I would be learning Mandarin in the military and later translating their military comms. It was a life ago. It was a wife ago!
One of the sign out of the door indicates it’s Beijing.
i want to see the video of the china in 1960, because i heard about ten of millions of people died due to hungry .i want to share .
great
Interesting!
这应该不是武汉市。1.我是武汉人，但这里面的人说话完全不是武汉话或武汉口音。2. 1:03 处如果仔细看可以发现是北京市。。。
Xuan Bi 那个时候武汉和上海是唯一外国人熟知的繁华城市，有其他口音很正常
是这边口音，小孩说的话我听懂了
声音是假的， 后期配上的都市杂音。 当年他的录影是没有声音的， Micheal 已经说明了。 你会发现影片好像没车在行驶时候， 也听到车的声音。
1:03 王麻子剪刀
Note that none of the people then was overweight.
More like malnutrition
@@carmenw4326 you just don't know what malnutrition looks like then. India suffered from much, much more malnutrition during the same period.
第一个镜头根本不是武汉。 汉字都写了是 北京市
Now, it is getting interesting. How in the world did Wuhan get into all this?
I was borned 1964
No cars in China in 1964, WHY.
Heavily censored then. Just coming out of the Great Famine of the late 50s and early 60s.
昔の武漢もはじめて見たな
this film not in wuhan ,but shanhai
China was very poor and has come a long way.
火车站有一个站台上写着，邢台
4：35这里
Thank you, too, for identifying location by means of train station sign.
40年前贫穷的茅草棚随处可见，还好，多灾多难的中国，经过艰苦努力，现在终于成为世界第二经济体
从唐朝到大清中国都是第一或第二经济体，又能说明什么？
Starting at 2:10 to 2:39, I think it's Shanghai, 95% sure as I saw characters for Shanghai on one of the store signs.
disway71 it’s 100% wuhan, it’s a super city just like shanghai, at that time, wuhan is as important as shanghai, however this city paid a lot tax to government in order to develop other city, such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen.
