A complete record of the lives of poor families living in caves in the old photos of Linfen, Shanxi in 1939

Share a group of old photos taken around 1939 in Linfen, Shanxi Province, from Kyoto University

As we all know, the northern region has the habit of living in cave dwellings, and we have seen new style cave dwellings decorated in modern society in various ways, which are warm in winter and cool in summer. So do you know what kind of cave dwellings people lived in poor and backward rural areas in the north more than 80 years ago

Today, we will use this group of photos to reflect the cave life in Linfen at that time. Now life is hard won, so we should cherish the present

现在的人怕是很难想象当时当地人们的生活状态吧。
