Manchukuo: A Brief Glimpse into the Past of Dalian, China's Festival Stilt Dancers Amidst Colonial Japan's Gratitude and Progress (1936). Witness the ethereal beauty of traditional dance against the backdrop of modernization, as depicted in John Hix's captivating lithographs. Meanwhile, the terrible fire that once engulfed Hsinking (Changchun), Jilin Province, China, is a stark reminder of the challenges faced during this era. In the same year, Mongolia and Manchukuo paid homage to their Japanese overlords through ceremonies held at the Jilin provincial capital. The Junkers Ju-86 aircraft, a symbol of Japanese military might, looms in the distance. Amidst these contrasting scenes, the Japanese admin building stands proudly, a testament to the colonial power's reach.
