EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the capture of Shanghai City without any bloodshed. The central figure in this image is Chi Sieh Yuan, the former military Governor of Kiangsu, who orchestrated this unexpected move that took everyone by surprise on 12th January 1925. In this photograph, Chi Sieh Yuan stands tall and proud, dressed in his distinguished Chinese military uniform adorned with various decorations. His presence exudes power and authority as he overlooks the captured city and troops below him. The absence of violence adds an intriguing element to this picture, showcasing Chi Sieh Yuan's strategic brilliance. The monochrome aesthetic intensifies the gravity of the situation depicted here. It transports us back to the roaring twenties when warlords like Chi Sieh Yuan held immense influence over China's political landscape. This image serves as a reminder of their complex roles during a time marked by conflict and uncertainty. Preserved by Central News, this twentieth-century photograph from Europeana Photography offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in Chinese history. It immortalizes not only the man behind this audacious feat but also sheds light on an era defined by shifting powers and ambitions.
