Monument to the Blockade Expedition, Lushunkou, China - A poignant reminder of the past: This evocative photograph captures the Monument to the Blockade Expedition, built by the Imperial Japanese Navy at Ryojun, Lushunkou (present-day Dalian, Peoples Republic of China). The monument stands proudly on a clifftop overlooking the harbor, commemorating the Japanese naval blockade of the port during the Kwantung Leased Territory (1895-1945), a major naval base for the Imperial Japanese Navy before and during the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945). The image, taken circa 1930s, reveals a fleet of Japanese warships anchored in the harbor, their sails furled and flags at half-mast. The monument, with its intricate carvings and solemn inscription, serves as a testament to the historical significance of this strategic location. The tranquil waters and clear skies add to the serene atmosphere, creating a striking contrast to the tumultuous events that once unfolded here. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to reflect on the rich history of this region and the complex geopolitical dynamics that shaped it.
