Old Chengdu, Western China, in 1940 成都
Вставка

- This is what Chengdu in Western China looked like 70 years ago. There are several clips of Chengdu on UA-cam that show it is a modern city now. I improvised the soundtrack. A contributor elucidated: This is the AnLan Bridge, built during the construction of the DuJiangYan 都江堰 weir works by LiBing 李冰 governor of newly conquered Shu 蜀 (SiChuan) from the ancient state of Qin 秦国 (for which China is claimed to be named after) on the Min River 岷江 that feeds into the ChengDu plain. The bridge itself has been rebuilt more than once, yet the earthworks of the location are thousands of years old and are still in use. The structure of DuJiangYan 都江堰 is noted to be the world's most labor intensive hydrological project, as mountains were drilled through using heat treatment of fire and water in an age before gunpowder, further still, a cleaver system of splitting the river into two parts of varying depths to cause a change in flow rate lead to debris floating into the 'outer partition' so that people could receive relatively clean water. Most individuals, even experts, refer to the aqueducts or Great canal further east for examples of human impact on estuaries, few know of the small bridge show four and a half minutes in.

Lol, I'm from Chengdu. I like this video! It gives me a feeling of home :D
People in the film were speaking the same dialect we use today in Chengdu :D
I think time doesn't change many things, it only build up more modern facilities, but people in Chengdu are living the same kind of laid-back lifestyle LoL :D
My pastor also left Chengdu with the KMT then to the US in the 50s and I immediately picked up on the tone shift of his Sichuan Hua. There's literature from Sichuan University on the topic.
那就好撒。成都话就是非常好听哟！
Chengdu= thành đô. It's a my favourite song
But they are speaking Cantonese... Chengdu doesn't speak Cantonese now.
视频里面说那两句究竟是什么意思？“优梨过”？
This is how my ancestors lived. My grandfather was a little boy when this video was shot. Everyone had a very hard life back then. I always loved to hear him tell me stories about his life, and now he is almost 90. The world has modernized very fast, almost too fast. Thank you for your video.
Hope your Grandpa is still alive, tell him Jesus Christ is God and the only way to eternal life, Jesus is the savior and the 1 true God, Buddha cant save him.

感谢作者提供如此让人感到温暖的历史画面
Thank you for uploading this golden video, it’s so precious for me as a Chinese people from Chengdu.
I appreciated it. It’s been six years since I left Chengdu. Never shall I leave the place that I love, never shall they go from my heart, even though my eyes are somewhere else. 父母在，不远游，远游必有方。
I can guarantee that this is Chengdu. I am growing here, the folk customs in the lens. I can feel the traces left in the time when I was a child, the cattle, the streams on the farmland, the wheelbarrow, the ground rice, the craftsmanship of the craftsmen, I also saw the Fu River. The ancient city wall (which has been demolished) is the iron bridge on Dujiangyan (still in existence). After an earth-shaking change in the 1980s, Chengdu is now a beautiful modern city with more culture and more people.
王比武 是的，我小的时候都看到这些事长大。我58年生于成都，90年来美国。这些都是我小时间看到的，好亲切！！！
@@fanli5440 哈哈，老乡你好。
Thank you, Michael. As a fellow “Old China Hand” I love the Chinese people and their culture.
very precious clip,thx for.sharing
thanks，this is precious，i love watching this kind of films
of course it doesn’t matter which you shooted or not. Anyway i’m your fun and always appreciate you to share your treasure. Thanks a lot.

Awesome, farmers, regular persons ...having huge fenced homes goats on the roof, smiles, hard work.
Great capture of life at that time. Thanks very much. Dan Seto, Chinese Canadian Roots TV.

成都是个好地方
中国·成都旧景，感谢国际友人的分享
beautiful, natural, eternal design of way of life
This is cool. Chengdu is a wonderful place.
1940年不是还处于抗日战争时期么？影片里的人精神面貌都很好啊！不像是战乱的样子。
重庆都没有打仗，只是因为是首都挨轰炸。那你觉得四川是什么样？
Do they speak Cantonese in Chengdu during that time?
太珍贵！
i wish i had a time machine so i could travel back to the past. tired of modern world
?? I bet you'd get tired of that world pretty fast! Some of the people we see here probably never bathed in their lives, just to name one little thing. Public and private sanitation might not have existed at all, by our current thinking.... I don't think you could live there.
thinh nham no social media , people had to resource ! Perhaps they were happier leading a simpler life
Greeting from indonesia
where is the exact place you filmed?
The audio family dinner they are talking cantonese ，in Chengdu we don't talk cantonese .this is a little mistake.,

moon ryan wtf r u tryna say
Greetings and thanks to you all !
MichaelRogge 你好！这些是电影还是真实纪录片?
@ralphzwang . Well, that Cantonese accent is due to the fact that no original sounds were recorded and I had to add one of a Cantonese source. As to Youku I have tried in vain to upload clips on Chinese clip sides, but they are all in Chinese which I do not understand.
MichaelRogge hi there thanks for the precious footage . Would you mind if I repost them on Chinese platform e.g youku and tiktok? I think netizen there would be fond of it ..
Even Yang you should, it’s not his video he just collects archives
@CaeserTseng Indeed most of prewar documentaries were without live sound nor exact information on its precise location, so I added it
Hey bro, i want to buy your videos, for Education purpose
You can just download any video by google...

As a person from chengdu all i can say is, 2019 chengdu has changed so much, even when compared to chengdu in 2011 when this video was posted, it has really, changed alot, but it still doesn't change the fact that this video makes me feel at home even if it was from a time long ago from the present. Some structures in the video are actually still present in chengdu and you can visit them yourselves, for example, the bridge shown at 4:37 and 4:44 is in 都江堰, the town where the qingchen mountains are situated, you can still walk on that bridge, not exactly in chengdu, it is an hours drive from chengdu but still near chengdu non the less.
Thanks for your reminiscences
This is the AnLan Bridge, built during the construction of the DuJiangYan 都江堰 weir works by LiBing 李冰 governor of newly conquered Shu 蜀 (SiChuan) from the ancient state of Qin 秦国 (for which China is claimed to be named after) on the Min River 岷江 that feeds into the ChengDu plain.

I lived in Chengdu from 2010 and 2019. I miss 2010 Chengdu....was an amazing place with the shaokao everywhere and unpredictability. 2019 Chengdu is bad in comparison. Just a soulless mega city.
@hkpegasus01 I didn't know. Anyhow mine is edited, of better quality and with a different soundtrack. So I do hope that it still serves a purpose. In general I check first if a clip exists based on the same obsolete film.
比如今大陆的现状好多了，至少人性，文化，建筑，没被共产党破坏
Thank you so much for your precious films. Life at that time was peaceful. I wish I had been there. China always stays deeply in my heart. I feel that I used to live there in my previous incarnation.
i dont think china would be too peaceful in 1940
it were dark times for china , people suffered a lot from japan and other foreign countries . that didnt show in those documentairies . western media...always have been that way .
很珍贵的影像资料
Love this! I always harp back to the old days. A gentle pace by stream side and vegetation, on foot, is preferable for me. Thanks for sharing.
2:24是都江堰的南桥吗？后面的吊桥我记得，变化不大。可惜南桥边那座老茶楼颓了，那是我心中天下第一的品茶之处！
OMG！！！
4:39--The Dujiangyan Irrigation Project..which still works to benefit people today..More than 2000 years history..
@albertsamtam Thanks for your info. I'll await other viewers opinions. I'm not aware that 9.39 was taken in Hong Kong. In fact the footage was taken in 'Western China' Would that include Hong Kong?
omg i never know my hometown was looks like this. This is amazing for me. Thank you post this video here.
Shows how ignorant todays chinese have become

this is amazing. it's amazing how things change through time, when you realize most of the people in this have turned to dust and that they would never have imagined what the very place they have lived in would turn out 70 some years later, and for us watching this, we could also only resort to our imagination to fill in the rest of their world back then. we will never meet in time or in space, except through this footage, which lasts through time, albeit in an incomplete and cut-out manner. It makes me feel humbled and also encouraged because I know my time will have its end too and that generations after me will continue to live on in a whole new world that I can never experience nor imagine within the limitation of my time. Amazing stuff!
Max,
Hopefully without a major war. A major war with modern weapons is indeed a genuine world war. If that happens, the destructions will be near-total and I wonder what % of the human race will survive to rejuvenate our great human civilization. The force of world destruction is in the hands of a few people and we continue hoping that they are sensible individuals.
@tonykklam1 No, it is from prewar footage. I added sound and effects.
I love watching old clips like this, thanks for sharing. The changes really are profound, but that's to be expected in any country over such a time frame I guess. What's really interesting is to see the small things that are still the same. In Hainan they still use those hand held weighing scales in the fresh food markets, and the medicine shops, herbs are still stored in row after row of shoe box sized wooden drawers, that medicine shop could have been anywhere in Hainan today. It looks like they drove on the left hand side of the road back then?
Thank you for uploading those movies from China's past. They're brilliant and you are doing a brilliant job. Thanks.
what a wonderful and meaningful life you live documenting so many places! Love the video, thanks for sharing
看到了都江堰
Not sure how Chendu this is. Every time I hear some one speaking it's in Cantonese. Unless it's filmed by someone from Guangzhou.
@greatguy52 I do not recall but have a look at my playlist Hong Kong: ua-cam.com/users/view_play_list?p=A08F26F648CE6143
An era filled with hardships for the Chinese people, yet so beautiful in a special way.
When i see these documentaries, I become even more proud of Chinese government and their specific Socialism.
Chinese communist party did the grandest miracle of HUMAN HISTORY.
I am grateful to them. Look at China now.
Greetings from north California .
Without socialism, it will be batter, look at Taiwan or Singapore or Hongkong and multiply by 100 times
The great leap backwards and the cultural devolution being the most noteworthy contributions. Come on. The people of China brought about the economic miracle once the party let them. Why credit those opressors? Taiwan is surely better off.
@@coco7290 Taiwan is a client state of the American empire that sacrificed independence and solidarity with the oppressed third world in exchange for American investment dollars and favorable trade deals that allowed them to industrialize. Hong Kong is just a tax haven where bankers and corrupt third world leaders hide their wealth to avoid having to share it with the masses. This collusion with the wealthy and the powerful is why Hong Kongers are such loyal lap dogs of their former colonial masters, waving the colonizer's flag and singing the colonizer's anthem in all of their protests. But the People's Republic of China is pursuing prosperity in a spirit of SOLIDARITY with the oppressed third world nations, building infrastructure and stimulating growth in the formerly colonized African nations and showing solidarity with the indigenous people of Bolivia. The oppressed former colonies of the world are standing up because the Chinese people have stood up!
所有的憎恨都来自于臆想，所有的伤害都来自于偏见，所有的动乱都湮灭于生生不息的主流
4:42 this bridge is still there in Dujiangyan. 这个都江堰的吊桥现在还在，去都江堰景区耍的朋友可以走一走。
@From88China88Chengdu Thank you for your explanation.
Manual farming was popular in that time :-)
I wouldn't say it's popular, just common.
@@magnetospin Wouldn't say common, just what it was possible at the time
@@kirianismaelsanchez9606 What do you possible at the time? It's always been possible.
@@magnetospin like, there wasn't a lot of alternatives, that's what i mean
Thx a lot for this amazing film! The editing is really skilful! May I ask how did you get those footages? If it's possible, may I have the name of the original film or some other clips of Chengdu back to that time? Thx a lot mate!
我能翻到我家成都最老的一张照片是1923年 第二张是1932年
Too precious. Life of people in different industries. Thank you. But why i heard a sentence of cantonese"你要呢個呀"？
Very meaningful clips were included in this video. Water mill, waterwheel, cow cultivating land, rickshaw, bamboo craftsman, making ceramic……all these are valueable scenes.
Oh my gosh, i can't believe this. This makes me feel weird because now we see China is something else with highly developed infrastructures and rich and wealthy country. So China was originally this normal at the beginning.
@༼ཆ༽ Yes it's only an avarage world income but in term of GDP China is very wealthy.
Thanks a million!
Thanks for sharing. That’s amazing to seeI what my city looked liked 80 years ago. I can tell even my mom and dad have never seen this! But it looks like we still keep the same lifestyle as shown in this video, I mean chill, tea...and smoking. That’s awesome!

Thank you so much for putting the video on youtube. Chengdu is my hometown. The video brings so many memories back and also shows me what Chengdu was alike many decades before I was born. The Cantonese dialect was not a good idea, it makes me doublt if all the clips were genuinely shot in Chengdu. Neverthless, great video and thank you for your effort.
Way overpopulation even then. Out of control now.
is that opium or tobacco?
