Amazing China in 1917 in color [AI enhanced and colorized]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 апр 2024
- This is splendedly enhanced and colorized footage from two fragments of Benjamin Brodsky’s ten-reel film documentary, showing Peking in the 1910s. It is highly interesting material as it shows what China really was like over a century ago in 1917.
It should be noted that the film was shot only about 16 years after the ending of the boxer uprising from 1899 to 1901 and 6 years after the Chinese Revolution of October 1911 during which a group of revolutionaries in southern China led a successful revolt against the Qing Dynasty. This lead to the establishment of the Republic of China which ended the imperial system.
Many scenes in the film show that at the time China hardly had changed for over a thousand years. Life follows its course almost full time on the streets.
We see every day life with many people executing their skills and trades, children playing, artists and acrobats performing their tricks, processions, a funeral, great glimpses of the Forbidden Palace and much more!
A viewer has identified the ship at 29:12 as the USS Helena (PG-9), commissioned in 1897 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Hel...) Very rare footage!
Text cards explain what is happening in each scene.
Now please watch this film without further commentary.
This footage has been meticulously and painstakingly restored and enhanced with the latest Artificial Intelligence video software.

You may find this additional information provided by @tianming4964 interesting:
"Phenotypes in different parts of China vary by region and ethnic background. Beijing in the early 1900s still had a sizeable Manchu population (at one point only Manchus could live in the inner parts of the city), as well as other minority groups such as Hui, Uyghurs, Mongols, etc. Hui are Chinese Muslims who ethnically and culturally aren't much different from the majority population, but many have ancestry from Arab and Persian settlers who arrived in China between the 7th and 14th centuries, hence why people of Hui descent tend to have more Central Asian looking features. Uyghurs are a Turkic ethnic group from the far western part of China more ethnically and culturally similar to Uzbeks and Turks than to Han Chinese.
But even among Han Chinese there are variations in facial features (skin colour, eye shape, nose shape, face shape, etc.) between north and south China. Most Chinese in the diaspora (Southeast Asia, Europe, Americas, Oceania) come from southern parts of China like Fujian and Guangdong and have features that more resemble people from Southeast Asia like Vietnam for example. Most Chinese people you'll encounter abroad will be from southern China, and so those are the features most foreigners associate with being Chinese. Northern Chinese are known to have different facial shapes from southern Chinese and its usually possible for a Chinese person to tell whether another Chinese person comes from northern or southern China just by looking at them.
Also when it comes to skin tone, it might not just have to do with the colourization process. My grandpa has ancestry from northern China and has similar features to most of the people in the video, including eye shape, nose shape, face shape, etc. This also includes skin tone, to the point that when many people meet him they mistake him for being Indian. His skin isn't naturally dark, but because he was forced to work out in the fields when he was young it became tanned. His siblings similarly have relatively darker skin than what most people would expect for Chinese. The reason why most Chinese people today don't have skin that dark is because they aren't working out in the rice fields anymore and can keep their skin pale and light with an office job indoors. Chinese culture is like most other Asian countries where they value pale skin because its a symbol of being wealthy and upper class and not having to work out in the fields. And as most Chinese today no longer have to work in the fields, they no longer have such tanned skin compared to the past, though among older generations like my grandpa many still do.
A lot of people who have met my family will say things like my mom and grandpa "don't look Chinese," even though their ancestry is 100% from China (and we've done DNA tests to confirm). Even other Chinese people will say this, but almost always its southern Chinese people. They never say that my grandma doesn't look Chinese, because my grandma is also from southern China like they are. But because most aren't used to seeing as many northern Chinese in the diaspora, northern Chinese don't look as Chinese to them. I can say that of the northern Chinese I know--friends, neighbours, acquaintances, etc., most share similar features to those in the video. I often watch a lot of Chinese dramas, where actors are more likely to be of northern Chinese descent, and on many instances people have commented to me how some of the actors don't look Chinese at all. In some cases its because they are not ethnically Han Chinese but are from one of the ethnic minorities in China, and in other cases its just they have different features than what people normally associate with Chinese. For some examples search up names like: Lu Taichong, Song Ya Gang, Wang Kang, Eldos Faruk."

Perhaps the used b/w film stock was not panchromatic. This may have contributed to dark skin colours.
@@andreas7136 darker skins were also due to sunlight exposure. Nowadays many Chinese & Japanese still avoid it like the plague, since the stigma of a farm/field worker is still attached to it. Unlike Nordic skins that just get burned, most if not all races skins in Asia get tanned.
22:10 The hands are black, which is obviously unreasonable! Your face will tan, but have you ever seen your hands tan? It’s about light!
@@JeeryAltkins The back of hands tan just as much as faces! It's the inside that stays lighter. I repeat: do not blame the A.I. Watch the original B&W footage on Archive.org It is amazing to note that viewers are not able to accept that the population of Peking had a different composition a century ago. There are more videos about old China around 1910 on RUclips. They all show the same darker skin tones. Also look at present day pictures/footage of people from Mongolia.

Thank you so much! My great-grandparents were American missionaries in China from 1904-1919. They loved the Chinese people so much...this really gives me an idea of all the things they saw while there.
They are probably the ones who caused the revolution in 1948.
@@sandponicsno they were no doubt martyred. Read John and Betty Stam. These were real missionaries not the ywam or false maga Christians
Your great-grandparents were kind of wack for trying to force their religion upon others.
Yes, they would have been "wack" if they were forcing their religion upon others, but they weren't. Religion is a matter of the heart. @@1nePercentJuice
This kind of video is what makes RUclips and the internet in general worth it.
When you see this kind of poverty in China. We who are living now, have to appreciate all the sacrifices our ancestors have made.
it's over 100 years since these images were recorded and the people in the images are all long dead. I wonder if those who looked on at the funny man winding a handle on a box realised that people in countries far away would be watching them over 100 years later. Providing these films are never lost, the people in them will live for an eternity.
This is the closest thing we have to a Time Machine.
My great granddad sailed all over Asia in the early 1900s as a USN sailor. He had a tattoo on his forearm from Hong Kong. Would love to have seen the world back then before globalism made every place so similar.
Yes all countries do like imitating the west unless their comments on it.
A China sailor. On a gun boat, I assume?
The problem is Devil runs the world. He is lier and murderer. That's why we've got the Gospel about the God's kingdom.
Jehovah would put everything in order. The dead will be resurected and we'll meet our beloved ones again! :-)
@@protectorh9167yeah its because they copy the west. Definatly not because of the wests colonialism and imperialism…
@@darquanjr Countries whom were not colonized by the West want to be like the West.
China has come a long way through their hard work and suffering and perseverance. A true testament to it's enduring ambitions and determination to succeed.
What are you talking about. China has been ruined thanks to the people in charge that destroyed true Chinese culture and traditions.
@@Anonymous-ip4qxit's economy is on pair with that of the US. I'd say that the Chinese government did a good job with running it's country.
They have come a long way, to mass counterfeit goods, shoddy building work, mass cheap inferior manufacturing, appalling human rights, terrible prison like living conditions for a lot of its citizens, nanny state control. For the mega rich yeah it's great, but just like everywhere else the common people suffer.
For those saying this is fake/AI generated, it's not. Technology currently is not capable of creating something like this, and any signs of Ai is because it's upscaled from a poorer quality
Ah, finally someone who understands A.I. The heaps of nonsense viewers have proclaimed under this video about A.I. is staggering...

Utterly amazed. Such Chinese History. The incredible leap made from 1917 til today is astounding. Thank you for the History and the work put into this post.
I was lucky enough to visit China many times in the 2004 - 8 recent times, and was amazed.
Glad you enjoyed it
This is the period of "warlords" in Chinese history before Nationalists Party (KMT) unified the country. Thank you for processing and sharing these precious films. What a difference a hundred year makes in China. From no automobiles on the streets in the film to the largest auto export country in the world today.
There was one automobile in the video , it was at 7.56 in the video
Things really got changed rapidly in 100 years.
I have taken several courses in modern China at my university. This time period is very interesting, and this video brought it to life in a way that is hard to capture through textual sources. Thank you for this!
a nice selection of music you have made
Absolutely amazing trip back in time, each scene is fantastic, like an old painting - but moving! Please do more fragments, if not the whole ten reels :-)
I wish I could find the full 10 reels. I searched a long time for them, but they are nowhere to be found. There is only one (poor quality) film by the same maker about Japan in 1918 on Archive.org
streets are so clean, remarkable architecture, thanks for posting!
No disposable products back then
Every material had value and utility.
Rickshaw man was a tough job.
He still going many Asian places
Look better and clean than many slum place in India 2024
I don't know why you specifically mentioned India when most of Asia, Africa and Latin/South America is littered with them. They are also present in the U.S., albeit in considerably lower numbers.
You havent been to.China recently I guess? There are lots of dirty placed there too. I couldnt even go to the toilet in some places I.visited. i have been to.China and India. Its all about where you go.
As for th argument why Chinese look dark in old videos, I offer an explanation: Don't use imagination. Use reality. We Chinese households all have several old photos taken at the beginning of the last century, and our great grandparents are all so black. But in my grandfather's generation, my father's generation, it's not like this anymore. I have met my grandfather and my maternal grandfather. My grandfather was a teacher, fair looking, white skin, and my maternal grandfather was a farmer with a dark skin. This is our personal experience, much more reliable than any so-called expert's explanation. So since ancient times, Chinese people have admired white skin because it is a manifestation of identity, indicating that this person has separated from physical labor and become a wealthy class. The army guys are also labor in the sun. Here I will repeat why Chinese people looked black in the image materials a hundred years ago: 1. working under the scorching sun, 2. poor hygiene conditions (not taking a shower or washing face), 3. poor shooting hardware and technology. In addition, we Chinese prefer white skin, not because of the influence of the westerners. Since very very old books written in the centuries B.C, the appreciation of the beauty has been there. In the history of contemporary Chinese art, a famous oil painting called "Father" was created by Luo Zhongli in 1980 (I offered a RUclips link in comments). This is all because he is not someone's father, but represents the typical image of a Chinese farmer, with dark and rough skin, and a bewildered and numb deep gaze. If you Westerners don't understand history, you will think he is a low caste Indian or African. But this is the Chinese farmers of the past few thousand years. It has only been in recent decades that Chinese farmers have become fair. No need to use a hoe to cultivate land under the scorching sun, we have switched to using machinery.
Did use of coal stoves for have something to do with it? It's hard to tell but some people look like their faces are blackened, like coal miners.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment
@@krisaaron8180 Coal workers are another matter, they only have two white eyes and the rest are black. Haha. The black skin of farmers has nothing to do with coal. In ancient times, poor families used to burn firewood, which was a dry branch of a tree. Families who could afford coal were all landlords.
Why is the world ashamed of its dark heritage lol sun burn and melanin are two different things these dark Chinese are clearly melaninated people.
tlngr
It already look more developed than modern India.
The skies and buildings of indian cities would be much cleaner without the number of cars/motorcycles/rickshaws that it has. During lockdowns in Mumbai at the very beginning of the pandemic, there were almost no cars or vehicles driving around for like two weeks. In that time the haze lifted, the sky was bright blue and you could see the stars at night, really beautiful. I’ve never been anti-fossil fuels, but that really made me realize the cost of gas cars on daily wellbeing in crowded urban centers.
@@fife8332 Its the cleanliness that make India look bad! India architecture is good in my opinion.
😂😂
This is Beijing though. And India didn’t use modern technology at all back then.
?
It's unblievable even for Z generation Chinese. This ground has been changed dramaticly.
As a Chinese who works in Beijing, this is quite precious. My nation has developed so much.
I actually do not call it development. you have lost the essence of china.. this old days is lovely...now china is just like usa
It certainly has, Beijing architecture is quite impressive.
i dont like china but i have to admit that it is progressing in a faster rate than western countries, at least in terms of infrastructure.
@@gissyb1 "Essence of China" as you call it while living in New Zealand and likely don't know extensively a single Chinese person.
You're a special one.
I love how in the 1890s- 1920s the all cities of Earth had an distinct yet near modern flavor.
A mix of both the old and the new in great proportions.
The colorization makes this video absolutely stunning and better than a movie set! It is definitely worth a second and third look. Your efforts are greatly appreciated. 🙏
Thank you very much
It is inaccurate though in terms of colour
@@Peter-pe6pp Agreed. I was in China a few years ago and the buildings and roof tiles were closer to a grey clay in color. The colorization does make it look better.
Reflecting on past footage can be unsettling, as it forces us to confront our own mortality. Billions of individuals who preceded us experienced life's worries, fears, joys, love, and laughter, only for their stories to be erased in an instant. Countless intriguing narratives and fascinating individuals remain unknown to us. The way future generations will perceive us, with our lives documented through vlogs and interviews, contrasts sharply with the loss of 5000+ years of digital undocumented history
It’s why rare early footage like this will always be viewed more than our modern versions, because there’s so much mystery in it as there’s so little of it.
太兴奋了，可以看到100多年前的北京城，感谢视频的提供者，作为一个北京人感到非常高兴。希望大家有机会也可以来北京看看，视频里大部分的建筑现在都还在。已经成为世界文化遗产的一部分。再次感谢大家。😊
The traditional, beautiful, peaceful China. I love it.
Wow what a treasure this is!! Absolutely riveting. The funeral procession was stunning. Wonderful music too! 🙏
I have been in china 8 times last past 13 years, amazing country, awesome people❤
are they still black like in the film?
@@berklia ..if you've got enough money, go see for yourself?
Its incredible how fast the world has changed since WW1. This has been the standard of living for over centuries and look at what we have now.
The Chinese in China were poor and backwards till around 1979.
Thank you so much for the footage. The music was soothing, it was lovely to see the architecture and the people of back then. The music just made this 10x better , thank youuu
It's a strange thing about humans on Earth. Billions humans passed through here and went somewhere. We don't know why they came and why they went
My mum grew up in similar conditions, quite poor, outside all the time, happy and well.
I can so relate to these folks.
Don't we all see how similar we all are?
Wonderfu job, as usual. Thanks for taking us back in the history of mankind. If not for your amazing work we wouldn't have seen and enjoy them. Thanks again.
Beautifully restored footage! I felt like I was walking through a magic portal to a long-gone world (that had previously lasted for a couple of thousand years.) All palace and park scenes were lovely. What was really poignant was seeing those curious onlookers from so long ago. They probably never saw a movie camera before.
Great music selection
I am Chinese, but not from Beijing or Shanghai... the capital of China. With the unprecedented development of modern societal change in China, I cannot see the old city anymore, what a pity, yet it is amazing to see this from RUclips, and in color...come from a very small village in China, I only can catch up the memories, which is old and rural Chinese city...
What part of China is your home village in. When and where did you learn to write English so well ?
Because of all those hard-working people, today China is the most developed and advanced country in the world.
Not advanced
That’s a lie !
Fascinating video. The colorization really makes it feel more immediate. Wonderful to see!
Amazing what a people can do if they put their mind to it. Sad how some countries are still stuck in this era
a fabulous insight into Chinese culture back then
Some of the coolest historic footage on YT. Thank you!
Agreed. The funeral was killer!
Just imagine the people in this video are long gone, that's mind blowing
was just thinking that
Even the youngest,life
We are dust blowing in the wind ...
A lot of this lifestyle in general still exist today but in rural areas of China.
I agree especially in the area that Nike shoes are made.
我怎么不知道
Chaos, poor, civil wars, nothing good happend during that period of our country. Thanks for uploading this, I will watch it again with my sons, they are kind of taking the good life they're having now for granted.
Another great historical video. Thank your taking the time to put this together. Regards
Incredible
I wonder what type of cameras were used to film these scenes? It certainly was a major source of intrigue and fascination to those who were being filmed. Great video, by the way.
Probably a hand cranked camera on a heavy wooden tripod like this one:

Love how open-minded you are. I guess when people have mixed heritage, they're naturally more open and less judgemental?
Beautiful combination of music and video
Those poor men running along pulling carts with people in, imagine doing that all day.
It would be nice if someone made a comparison video of how everything looks today. Probably there is nothing left of these old buildings.
I am no expert, but the summer and winter palaces are still there as well as the Jezuit observatory. Indeed a lot seems to have gone. Like so many people I've never been to China.
29:09 is the USS Helena, a Wilmington Class Gunboat, with just very few pictures of it left. Beautiful.
Thank you very much. At first I thought you were mistaken, looking at: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Helena_(CL-50) built 20 years later around 1939, but you are right that it is its predecessor: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Helena_(PG-9) commissioned in 1897. Well spotted!
Thank you for sharing this media with us, very impressive views and excellent processing from you as we have seen before on your channel. You are really handling the material with dignity adding very subtle colouration and as in this case rather music which suits the secenes than comments, brillant.
Many people today criticise and down grade China saying so much negative about them but I don't see much examples in history that a nation with in 3 or 4 decades changed it's status from struggling to manage 3 meals a day to a super power. Always pay respect where it is due, no matter who is on the opposite side.
Well said 👏
At what price? Total loss of all personal rigthts and freedom? A 'superpower' of government, maybe.

Could you imagine how hard it would be to pull a rick shaw all day long? Its looks exhausting pulling that around!!!
ruclips.net/video/O7U_UAycdAw/видео.html..... There is that interesting movie "Richshaw Boy" a famous novel written by Lao She.
It tells the stoy of a hard working richshaw men during the 1920s in Beijing who at least cannot escape poverty.
Apparently someone is now making Rick Shaw's in Australia. I can't imagine why, it gets bloody hot here in the summer.
Fascinating to watch a period of history and especially how the ordinary folk lived. I noticed that there was a stark difference between the men in the first and second half. In the first half, few sported the queue but more had the queue in the second half. I wonder when the KMT enforced the cutting off of the queue. I had an old client who was over a century old who told us his experience when men with queues were caught in the streets and forced to cut off their queues. He was terrified. He told me his was a roofer so when he came to Nanyang he was able to set up his roofing business.
Looking at the buildings, I can see why Chinese were sought after by the British administration for their construction skills. They weren’t treated well and were discriminated upon and there was much violent clashes and murders by the local ethnic groups on Chinese migrants. Yet the Chinese brought with them industry skills and know how that pleased the colonial masters. Even up to the 1960s and 1970s, few local ethnicities possessed these skills and when anti-Chinese government policies excluded Chinese from partaking in government projects, there was no choice but to introduce corrupt practices to locals to set up shell companies and subcontract out to the Chinese to carry out the actual work.
The Chinese were known for their industry, know how and craftsmanship, and yet, were discriminated against. From this clip, you can see how tough the working conditions were, work was truly Ku Li (bitter work). Life was Ku for many Chinese working class. It’s no wonder they had to migrate overseas in search of a way to live. I also noted the colour of the clothes, they were all drab and muted colours. So in the KMT era, there was still a colour ban on the different social classes? I don’t think the KMT were much enlightened if that was the case.
I see without enthusiasm the opulence of the elite classes in the light of the bitter lives of the masses.
I don't know about then but I read that in the past it was expensive to dye clothes and so was reserved for the rich. In addition there were at certain times of history sumptuary laws reserving certain colors for the so-called nobles only even if a peasant did well enough to color his clothes a bit..
Totally amazing film, so good to see into the past, thank you for sharing on here.

Such a stunning reminder of the breakneck speed at which human civilization is evolving
Evolving indeed, but not for the better....
The West participated in the 300 year process of Manchu‘s’ destruction of China, and Latin originated from Manchu languages
Many parts of China remain in a state similar to this today. Even after the communists murdered upward of 45 million people in Mao's "Great Leap Forward" to modernize China, most of the people there live in a much worse state than they did back at the turn of the 20th century. Of course, communist propaganda says otherwise. But communists are inveterate liars.
