Twenty-five Years Ago
Twenty-five Years Ago
Twenty-five Years Ago A quarter-of-a-century ago the Japanese were moving in on Shanghai to mop up the city after a siege of 75 days. This was a preview of the war yet to come. Refugees poured into the international settlement to escape shells and bombs, for now the civilian was exposed to war for the first time. Refugees fleeing with belongings, man in uniform carrying child. Three planes fly overhead, bombings, city under fire. Man carries child in basket. Man tends to wounded, injured women and children. Troops marching, dead and dying in streets. Troops, soldiers march past camera. CU Soldier looking through binoculars. Warehouse barricaded, japanese flag raised above warehouse. Truck full of soldiers being taken to camps, crowds cheer in streets.
