EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a Belgian soldier stands guard at the entrance of the Belgian Legation in Tientsin (now Tianjin), China, around 1911. The Belgian soldier's stern expression and immaculate uniform convey a sense of duty and discipline, as he keeps watch over the European community in this bustling Chinese city. The Belgian presence in China dates back to the late 19th century, when European powers began to establish concessions and spheres of influence in the country. The Belgian concession in Tientsin was established in 1858, and it served as a hub for Belgian trade and diplomatic activities in China. The soldier's uniform, with its distinctive red lapels and gold braid, is reminiscent of the Belgian military tradition that dates back to the Middle Ages. The soldier's helmet and rifle underscore the military nature of the Belgian presence in China, as European powers sought to protect their interests and influence in the region through military force. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the multicultural and cosmopolitan atmosphere of Tientsin during this period. In the background, Chinese pedestrians can be seen going about their daily business, while European buildings and flags are visible in the distance. The photograph captures a moment in history when European and Chinese cultures intersected, and when the Belgian presence in China was an important part of the global political landscape. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich and complex history of Belgian-Chinese relations, and of the enduring influence of European powers in China during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is a valuable historical document that sheds light on a fascinating chapter in the history of international relations and cultural exchange.
