EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in Chinese history. It showcases General Feng Yuxiang, the Christian dictator of China, who led his formidable army of 40,000 troops to capture Peking without firing a single shot. The image exudes power and authority as General Feng stands tall in his immaculate dress uniform, adorned with medals and armed with a sword. Taken on 24 October 1924 by Central News, this monochrome photograph transports us back to the turbulent era of warlords and political upheaval in early twentieth-century China. With President's reported flight from the city, General Feng emerges as an influential leader whose control over Peking is now unquestionable. The significance of this image lies not only in its historical context but also in its portrayal of General Feng's unique position as both a military commander and devout Christian. This unexpected combination adds another layer to the complexity of Chinese politics during that time. Preserved by Europeana Photography for future generations to appreciate, this remarkable snapshot serves as a reminder of the immense power struggles that shaped China's past. It offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on the impact one man can have on an entire nation while leaving them curious about what unfolded after this decisive moment captured within these frames from the 1920s.
