Though this video is relatively new in the history of humanity, it's so fascinating to see how people in the old days overcame unimaginable difficulties in life and yet built and created such great things that we can still admire. I am talking about all humans and cultures, not only Chinese.
I am from Nepal. I love china so much. Chinese are very hard working and intellectual. They devloped their country in very short term because of their hard working.China is our best neighbouring country.I've a great salute to china & Chinese people.
Old Windsor. I don’t know who you are and I don’t care. I want you to remember there is a lot of Chinese in the world. Be careful of what you are saying.
China was at a heavy loss with war and century of humiliation but Chinese people are strong! And as a result of this they can build a strong nation. Learn from China!

Looks like all the characters of Pearl Buck's novel 'The Good Earth ' have come to life!! Anyways the novel gives such a vivid picture of China of those times, that I had seen all these scenes in my mind while reading it!!
That's a ridiculous statement. Or do you actually believe that Chinese people are weak enough to smoke opium at a foreigner's suggestion? Opium has been grown by Chinese people in China and smoked by Chinese people in China for centuries. Anyway, blaming foreigners for the Chinese opium habit is a bit like Americans blaming the Mexicans for the American Cocaine habit. Silly. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_opium_in_China
The habit of taking opium wasn't restricted to China. It wasn't a Chinese habit, it was a worldwide thing. Opium was exported throughout the British Empire, including to the UK. Opium wasn't invented by the British in 1839 to be suddenly foisted upon the hapless Chinese. That's ridiculous. It has been imported and also grown in China for centuries, and for most of that time perfectly legally. It is not shameless to say this, and it's not stupid either. Because of the historical use of opium in China, it just isn't historically correct to say that this guy in the video is smoking opium because of foreign influence. Any more than a photo of a modern man in Shanghai smoking tobacco might be evidence of nefarious foreign influence.
@待化的冰 he never said anything about that...he said chinese grown opium was used before the opium war...and yes I think the british took advantage of China and it was right to ban it
@What' Ev Ok, let's put it this way. Now, China all in a sudden decides to export Cocaine to the UK which the UK gov will definitely refuse. And then China decided to send troops to force the trade. How does it sound? That's exactly what imperial britain did. Being not that advanced is not an excuse for your country to start a disgusting Opium War against an Asian country. Your mindset is sick and disgusting.
Amazing video. A world treasure. I stood in front of the Chien Men gate just a couple years ago, almost at the same vantage point. Comparing the 1920 portique in the video to my picture taken almost a century later, I can confirm that except for having been repainted and refinished, the parts are exactly identical which made me feel good. And there are four stone sculpted lions at the base of the poles. Amazingly I can see them in the video. although you would have to know what to look for. Try to look for whitish forms at the base of the poles. But i see some differences in the shape of the lions. Maybe the originals did not survive.
@@iratepirate3896 I doubt that they were intentionally broken although it's possible. Maybe a truck or some vehicle damaged one of them and they replaced the lot. Over a century a lot of things can happen.

China became one of the last ancient civilization to rule. They actually lost a great battle during the Boxer's Rebellion. Empress Dowager Cixi died in 1908 and a new emperor who actually the last emperor of China name is Henry Pu yi. The glory of old China actually died out and a pro Western way and communist party came into being. China struggle so much, starvation, chaos, free thinking, etc. When people actually think about China they always seem to think about the old ways of China?
Great 1920's Chinese footage. Notice how the Chinese men were not wearing PIG TAILS anymore. That was in the Qing Dynasty era-1600's-1912. Plus You see still many rickshaw carts. Most Chinese still did not have cars. Thanks for the upload.
@Microglia1 well bear in mind that this is 1920, 9 years after the fall of qing dynasty. there is a saying goes in china's history, "the grandfather builds the empire, the father squanders the empire, the son loses the empire." photography became prevalent in china near it's end of the dynasty, and most shows it's poverty due to opium, and civil wars, do remember that qing dynasty is already on it's deathbed after 1870+ christian influenced taiping rebellion with a 70million death toll.
Though like looking like the proverbial needle in a haystack, I was looking for my old friend James Dolsen (1883-1987) who was living in Beijing and Shanghai during the 1920’s. (I probably wouldn’t recognizing him if he passed before the camera, since he was in his late 30’s when he lived in China, and was in his 80’s and 90’s when I knew him!) Incidentally, he met Mao at that time, and I believed him, since he never lied or exaggerated (although he did not put this meeting in his autobiography).
don't believe him...a foreigner met Mao？It's impossible. in 1920s，Mao was secret underground CCP member，and only twice short term trips to Shanghai temporarily，most of time stay at Guangzhou，Hunan，and Jiangxi
@@slavish_superiority James Dolsen died in 1986 (at age 103). In the 1920’s he attended the “Higher Party School” in Moscow and then was sent by the International to China. He wrote an autobiography, “Bucking the Ruling Class,” in the late 1970’s or early 1980’s. Much earlier, in the early 1930’s, he wrote a modest book on China. Earlier, he was present as a delegate from California at the founding of the U.S. Communist Party in Chicago in 1919. (Even earlier, in the first decade of the 20th Century, he was a member of the I.W.W. out West!) He dedicated his whole life to the working class as a member of the U.S. Communist Party and was imprisoned during the McCarthy Period of the late 1940’s and 1950’s. He did not write anything about his meeting with Mao in his autobiography (but could have feared, even in his 80’s, that this could lead to legal problems. He did specifically describe his meeting with Mao to us (a group of his students who he taught the fundamentals of Marxism-Leninism to during 1965 and 1966). He never married and was known as “The Red Monk!” Late one night, in 1966, I was taking a subway home in Philadelphia when I happened to meet him. He had a bag of leaflets and was just returning from distributing them after a concert. This was in a crime-infested area, and he was in his 80’s. I feared he might be mugged, so accompanied him the rest of the way home!) Finally, independently, by reading a (non-political) memoir, written in the 1930’s or 1940’s, of someone who lived in Shanghai in the 1920’s and early 1930’s, she mentioned that he was part of the w patriot community there at that time (and had a rather sour impression of him)! Somehow, I believe (want to believe?) “Jimmy” Dolsen’s account of his meeting with Mao. Dolsen was a remarkable man. Of course without Mao and his correct assessment of the situation, the Revolution’s success in China would have been more difficult. Dolsen labored in the “Vineyards of Obscurity,” but his life and work was also remarkable. Thanks for your comments and feedback.
@@TheEmagicmtman I'm sorry, he is like Norman Bethune, Edgar Snow and other Western CP members ，only harms the Chinese people, but does not help. Communism is a cancer of human civilization.

The more Population a country have, The more poverty will a country be, for the resources are scares and limited. Labors are also a kind of resources, it becoming cheaper and cheaper while the supply of labor in the market is increasing.
LOLOLOL...Glad Kodak got this precious doc film. I can tell the municipal of Peking city established by Qing Dynasty were very orderly planed. And both Tientsin and Peking city were so clean without any rubbish, unlike HK. I saw the precious document of a wealthy funeral, the Japanese woman in HK, the beggars and the citizen. Honestly, it would be much fun if we could go back to 1920 peaceful time without WWII and revolution wreckage. Impressive enough. And thanks for uploading this precious historical film.
Compare with the domestically produced representations of China ca 1920s-1940s on the Chinese Film Classics playlist of the Modern Chinese Cultural Studies channel. Since the film industry was then based in Shanghai, that's the city you'll see most.
am from the Caribbean & I truly agreed with you. China is doing what the Neanderthals should have done 80 + years ago in many poor country. That will strike a war, because who ever controls Afrika controls rule the world. China is doing a great job in Afrika as well as in the Caribbean.
That's not difficult. All western countries have better infrastructure than the USA. The USA made the wrong decision in the 1920 that automobiles were going to be the only transportation. They also don't know how to build houses today. They use wood sticks, a stapler gun, plastic film and plaster boards to build $0.5M houses (worth $20k true value) with the same internal structure as a barn for animal livestock.
When a country first becomes developed it's infrastructure is new, so naturally better. Nothing unusual in that. You don't go tearing down functional infrastructure just to keep up with the Jones's. That would be wasteful. When the time comes to renew it, America's will be new and better. Your's is a stupid observation.
Those must have been some of the years in the century of humiliation. Some were able to struggle out of the country then slaved themselves in new lands, where now their grandchildren were able to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Both my grandfathers toiled in foreign lands giving us the head-starts.

Chairman Mao's lot demolished the city wall (30 miles long) to build the subway underneath it. Nice one! Chinese people will eventually wake up to what they are doing to their own heritage.
The Chinese were about to go through a pretty unsettling period after this. Good to see them back on top:) giving the Americans and Europeans a run for their ill gotten money:)
@lipkeng no, taiwan was under china for a long time. was first an autonomous region inhabited by both chinese and the local aboriginals, later occupied by the dutch, and got kicked out by the fallen ming dynasty loyalists pirates, and later occupied by the qing dynasty. the rest is what is now recorded western history of the world. taiwan was known by china since han dynasty and three kingdoms, but provided no economic significance until 14-16th century.

This period was a time of absolute chaos. No wonder they prefer an authoritarian communist dictatorship to the warlords.
Chairman Mao's lot demolished the city wall (30 miles long) to build the subway underneath it. Nice one! Chinese people will eventually wake up to what they are doing to their own heritage.
heckmacbuff Most real Chinese people have been killed. The remaining people are Communists.
goosecouple and most of them ugly
Parts of the city walls still stand, notably the Chien men gate. I know because i stood there.

MADE IN CHINA. 😔🇨🇳😓 MADE IN JAPAN. 💖🇯🇵💖
@lipkeng no, taiwan was under china for a long time. was first an autonomous region inhabited by both chinese and the local aboriginals, later occupied by the dutch, and got kicked out by the fallen ming dynasty loyalists pirates, and later occupied by the qing dynasty. the rest is what is now recorded western history of the world.
taiwan was known by china since han dynasty and three kingdoms, but provided no economic significance until 14-16th century.
