EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting aerial photograph captures the devastating aftermath of the Japanese bombardment on the districts of Shameen and Canton, in Guangzhou, China, in 1938. The image offers a bird's-eye view of the once vibrant and bustling waterfront areas, now reduced to a scene of destruction and desolation. The island of Shameen, with its distinctive European-style buildings and gardens, lies in ruins, its serene beauty shattered by the relentless bombing raids. Across the Pearl River, the Canton district, a major commercial hub, also bears the scars of the conflict, with factories, warehouses, and residential areas reduced to rubble. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the destruction it brings, as well as a testament to the resilience of the people of Guangzhou in the face of adversity. Dated 1938, this image offers a unique historical perspective on the events leading up to the end of the Second Sino-Japanese War and the beginning of the Chinese Civil War.
