Old photos of Zhengzhou in 1943. The commercial street in front of the railway station was shabby under Japanese bombing

Sharing a group of old photos of Zhengzhou in 1943, let’s take a look at the dilapidated commercial street in front of Zhengzhou Railway Station under Japanese bombing at that time. The photographer of this group is Harrison Forman, and the shooting time is February 1943

Since February 14, 1938, Japanese military aircraft have bombed the commercial areas near Longhai and Pinghan Roads in Zhengzhou several times, including the big bombing on February 14, 1938. The commercial street in front of Zhengzhou Railway Station was the key target of Japanese bombing. Around Datong Road and other prosperous streets, Chinese and Western buildings unique to the Republic of China during this period were bombed, causing more than 500 compatriots to be killed and injured, which is known as the Zhengzhou Massacre

The Japanese bombing caused serious damage to the city of Zhengzhou, and the once prosperous commercial street in front of Zhengzhou Railway Station was in ruins

Let’s take a look

这些楼70年代一直存在。位置在德化街到火车站广场的大同路两侧。那时候德化街也有这种房，福寿街也有，东西大街也有。当时路都很窄，福寿街就扩大了四倍的宽度，80年代拆老房时还拆出了许多黄金。

二十多年前的大同路路北有个小吕宋洗衣店还是图片上的老式楼，小时候德化街大同路那一片还有很多老房。德化街改造很失败，到现在还是半死不活的，应该保留民国风。
