Old Photos of Xiamen during the Japanese Occupation in 1940 Street Scenery and Scenic Spots of Xiamen

This is a group of old photos of Xiamen taken during the Japanese occupation around 1940. The main photos are the street scenes and scenic spots of Xiamen at that time, which are postcards issued by the Japanese in that year

During the Japanese occupation of Xiamen, in order to whitewash the peace, they launched a series of postcards of Xiamen’s scenery and business to deceive people at home and abroad. Although the postcard appears repeatedly“ Quiet&rdquo& ldquo; Prosperity” At first glance, the street view looks similar to that before the war, but these are false images created by Japanese propaganda. Japanese flags and flags can be seen everywhere in the streets. During the Japanese occupation, Xiamen’s municipal development was stagnant, industry and commerce were stagnant, people were worried, and people were struggling. They all said that the great damage and cruel notice caused by the military city of tomorrow

It can be seen from the following photos:
