As a Chinese, I can conclude that this video was taken before 1937. My evidence is that at about 1 :50, an iconic building appeared on the left side of the road - the Peace Hotel with a dark green pyramid-shaped copper roof. In 1937, on the north side of the Peace Hotel (that is, in the opposite direction from the cameraman's car), a famous building as tall as the Peace Hotel was completed, the Bank of China Building. However, in the video, you can't see the Bank of China building at all, so I can tell that the video was taken before 1937.
Why did they not have horses in China? They used people instead.
@@bardo0007 Raising horses requires vast land resources, although China have a vast land area of 9.6 million square kilometers, only 10 percent can be used for living, farming and animal husbandry. The remaining 90 percent are mountains, rivers and lakes. The Chinese must use their limited land more efficiently, so we tend to raise cattle, pigs and sheep, which resulted in a lack of horses in China since ancient times. Lacking horses, China has been under constant attack from the north since more than 2,000 years ago by nomads who blitzkrieg with cavalry. China built the Great Wall to keep out the cavalry from the north. Horses were also the main goods that the ancient northern nomads exported to China during peacetime. They exported horses to agricultural civilizations in exchange for salt, iron, and cloth, which the nomads lacked.
@@陈天羽-z1q Thanks for the history lesson.
It's people like you who make such a very valuable insight. Who else in the world could share the same observation and detailed information? Thank you very much!
Therefore, the shooting time of this film is roughly between 1929 and 1936.
一、外滩20号沙逊大楼（和平饭店）于1929年9月5日落成新楼。
二、赫德铜像1914年竖立于九江路外滩，1927年迁至汉口路外滩（位于海关对面海关验货所正前方），1941年，该铜像为日军拆除融化。
三、外滩23号中国银行大楼（影片中中国银行大楼前身上海德国总会已消失，1936年拆除），并在1936年10月10日由宋子文主持奠基典礼，1937年大楼结构大致完成。
四、因此该段影片的拍摄时间大致在1936年之间。
1、 The new building of the Sassoon Building (Peace Hotel), No. 20 on the Bund, was completed on September 5, 1929.
2、 The statue of Hurd was erected on the Bund of Jiujiang Road in 1914, and moved to the Bund of Hankou Road in 1927 (directly in front of the customs inspection office opposite the customs). In 1941, the statue was dismantled and melted by the Japanese army.
3、 The Bank of China Building at No. 23 on the Bund (the predecessor of the Bank of China Building in the film, the German Federation of Shanghai, has disappeared and was demolished in 1936). Song Ziwen presided over the foundation laying ceremony on October 10, 1936. In 1937, the building structure was roughly completed.
4、 Therefore, the shooting time of this film is roughly between 1936.
I believe this is pre-1940s based on two observations. First the most modern cars I saw pre-date the 40's. Secondly there is no sign of war. Shanghai was seized by the Imperial Japanese Army in 1937 at the outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War. The city was heavily damaged by the fighting and remained under Japanese occupation until their surrender in 1945.
Agreed, pre-1938
Машина времени существует
We agree ... the newest cars we spotted were 1936 models.
1940 or 1930
who cares, it's a beautiful and extremely well edited vid.
Correct
This is truly an amazing video. With the remastered speed of 60 fps, just looking at people walking, pulling and pushing carts is amazing. Thanks for sharing this video!
Pulling those carts with people on it must be insane cardio, especially doing it while running
They still do it today in Japan, with Obese American Tourists. Amazing how strong these guys are
NASS you inspired me to learn how to restore videos and now I am restoring old videos of my family. Thank you very much.
This is absolutely incredible! Superb job as always on the restoration NASS. Thanks!
I understand dating old clips can be hard. So, the 1st real battle of World war II was Japan invading Shanghai August 13 1937. This excellent video pre dates that. Excellent work We need more of it!
The ricksaw "drivers" must have had some serious feet! Thanks for the content..absolutley amazing!
And it looks like they're barefoot. Amazing for sure
1:14 Two guys crossing the street are so intent on the camera they nearly walked into a rickshaw wreck.
ikr I was imagining how noisy it must be with all those hard wheels screeching by and now you can also imagine one running over your foot.
No excuse for the ninja at 0:42 though
Fantastic work!
thank you so much 🙏
Simply amazing! A time capsule really
Woooou, amazing, how developed it was already that time
Thank you for making these video's.
thank you so much 🙏
Incredible, so clear and perfect motion and the sounds added Chef's Kiss!! If I didn't know any better it looks like it could have been taken this day!👍👍👍👍👍🖖🖖
My grandpa was born in Shanghai in 1937, he was under 10 years old by then. He passed away last year. I missed him.
Sorry for your loss!
Did he ever tell you stories about his family when he was still a newborn baby during the war of resistance?
wow,the quality of the video! it seems a video recorded just yesterday! Great work!
As a Shanghai resident, I regret that many of the buildings in this video have now been demolished
1:52, im seeing an european city, thats crazy, more in 1937
@@Comradpetitothe Shanghai bund
As always another great video. Thank!
I like that you used those creaky car sounds in this video thanks a lot Nass
The Bicycle Bell made me chuckle.
incredible clarity to this one. Great job!
Amazing impeccably restored film! It's like a time capsule! That poor man pulling the ricksaw cart before the end was running barefoot! He probably received such little pay he couldn't even afford shoes! Probably a big division between rich and poor then, of haves and have-nots.
Incroyable je ne me lace pas des superbes images qui défile stupéfiant 👍
Merci mon ami pour ton magnifique partage et je pèse mes mots 👍👍 Champion
Un grand merci !
Great video nass, amazing work and incredible footage, thanks 👍👌😀
Incredible master peice! Amazing work! 👍
Thanks! These videos are very fascinating
Favorite book from near that period, Rickshaw Boy (and other titles) by Lao She. I wish this were about an hour longer. Thank you. Very much enjoyed.
Interesting..Just googled that book. I will have to give it a read. Thanks!
The guys @1:12 - lololol, distracted by the camera, nearly walked into another rickshaw
It's amazing that rickshaws carry such loads while running barefoot! 😮😮😮
So Chinese people have been hard workers since then . No wonder why we all made in China I appreciate them.👏🏻
It was shot from shanghai downtown
1:50 Zhongshan Road river side
That’s what I was thinking. Kind of explains all those parked cars.
1:15 really interesting how you can see the rickshaw driver made a wrong turn, and the rider telling him to go the other way; such a cool peek into the past
I think the video's speed is faster than it should be.
Superbe images... Merci pour le partage 👍🙏
thank you so much 🙏
GREAT VIDEO SUPER NASS YOU ARE THE BEST
Thank you so much dear
😢❤thank you for showing the time that both of my grandparents lived in
What a brilliant video!
The footage must be before 1946 when China switched from driving on the left to driving on the right.
Another great video from Nass very interesting colour very good and speed love it .
Nass, Hi thanks great one for uploading stuff like this. In the past I did ask kindly for shanghai in 1898-1940's and you delivered again! THANK YOU! But is this before or after WW2?. Was China still occupied by Japan when they invaded Manchuria, China in 1937.
Awesome, but the time seems a bit earlier as no Japanese markings or visible war damage. I’ve spent some time along The Bund it looks mostly the same on that side of the river. Puxi (old west side) and the east side all high tech in Pudong (dong east side). Chinese still work so hard even at manual labor.
China has never had human rights and freedom since ancient times!!!
So what? The Western gave up China in 1949, and also gave up Tibet, and even later gave up Hong Kong. China once had a chance for democracy.
As a Shanghainese this video truly inspired me❤
That has to be Shanghai with all High end cars Buicks Packards Cadillacs etc.
thank you so much 🙏
The Bund begins at 1:25, the buildings look the same. Love the high-end cars of the era - this was the Wall Street of Shanghai before the second world war and Mao.
So this was San Mao's setting. Fascinating
You never fail at finding exciting videos! I lived in Shanghai (Fr French concession) but I am not sure exactly the location. I guessing one the feeder road to the BUND
So amazing. A time before even my father was born.
Beautiful !
I'm hooked on your videos. We do see life depicted in times past in movies but a movie set is very different from the real thing. This really does put us in the picture & we can sense just how no different we are from folks back then. Life goes on. All that changes is technology & of course the changes tech brings. Those rickshaw drivers but have been well fit. Now we do that on a treadmill & pay for it instead of getting paid lol.
Molto bello! Spero che farai altre città cinesi come Guangzhou/Canton, Xi'an ecc... appena avrai la possibilità!
Great to see!
the first part is an amazing shot
Amazing! Is this one using the soap opera effect? Great job.
Its more like mid 30 I think, thanks for sharing
Thanks Much ! NASS
thank you so much bro 🙏
2:03 the Statue of Sir Robert Hart (赫德銅像) on the left side ！
It's crazy how much has changed. China just returned Moon samples from the other side of the Moon, and is getting ready to send astronauts there.
They were still using Traditional Chinese instead of Simplified one😊
I Love your Videos ♥ Bravo Bravo Bravo = Thanks
Thank you so much♥
I cant believe The Bund still looks more or less the same then as it is now. I also cant believe that this was 1940s... by how Shanghai looks like now, this could have looked like it was from 1900s and I'd believe it.
Great, hope you can do more work on Asian cities!
The ppl pulling the rickshaws is heartbreaking.
Seems to be Nanjing east road and the bund before 1940 but right after I passed away some years before... nice to see
Incredible
The next video can be Buenos Aires?
"What type of oil are you running in your rickshaw?"
Great vedio
2:04 Bronze statue of Hart
Looks like there is some information about the 上海華商電車 trolley at 0:57 here: zh.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E4%B8%8A%E6%B5%B7%E5%8D%8E%E5%95%86%E7%94%B5%E8%BD%A6
There's clearly lots of public transport, bicycles and private vehicles so it's strange the rickshaw still appears to be thriving?
OLD SHANGHAI AND SUPER KING NASS
Wow, thats amazing.
This is not Shanghai in the 40s, this video was shot before 1937.
Pre-war Shanghai wasn't China. It was a colony of imperial powers like Britain, France, the US and Japan. That's why it was relatively developed compared to other cities in China. The developed area was called "the Bund".
My Dad was working in Shanghai in the 40’
This was before the Emperor's boys arrived.
인력거꾼들 대단하다! 행복과 만수무강을 누리셨으면 좋겠다.혹은 아직까지 생존하시겠고,,
Nicee. Here's a list of Chinese tofu: POO and PONG
Amazing video.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
2:15 riding a wheelbarow cause why not
And to think, every one of those individuals is no longer alive. Rather sad.
Shangai era el Nueva York de China man, que flashero.
What happened to your monetization :(
the bund in shanghai is so like michigan ave. chicago. lovely cities
May i please have permission to use your vids in music playlists?
These vids will make amazing electro swing vids. Older the better frankly.
Just wait and see sunny boy.
😏
nice!!
thank you so much 🙏
Interesting to see the Chinese in China (at the time) still used the traditional Chinese characters in their writing. The Communist government eventually simplified many of the characters to increase literacy. I prefer the traditional type of Chinese character writing, which is still used in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, and overseas Chinese. Simplified characters just don’t look as beautiful as the traditional, more complex characters on the shop signs you see in this interesting video.
Try to find some of Saigon post 1945.
Is this pre-war? Japanese bombed the city pretty badly. They, the Japanese, were in need of steel and I would think they would have scraped those cars. They were having a bad time with shipping though because of American Submarines sinking them. Great video. 👍♥️🇺🇸
Wow! Time capsule.
Those poor people. They had no idea most of their families soon would be either destroyed or living in misery under Imperial Japanese oppression.
this feels like im actually there
Офигеть, какой ровный асфальт!! Ааа....
NO ADS on your vids ???? why ?? it's a choice or you don't get monetized ???
wow... some parts can pass for 1937 new york, los angeles or london.
The blue street looks wrong.
when japanese tried to rescue chinese from communists.
Bud, if anything the Japanese helped the Communists win the war. This was because they attacked the ROC(Nationalist China, present day Taiwan). This severely weakened them, which made it way easier for the Communists to win.
Then why did the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor,instead of just rescue the Chinese?
the foot powered rickshaw would have to be the dumbest invention ever. Nothing says class difference like this contraption.
It's like Indiana Jones and the temple of doom (1984)
Or Empire of the Sun.
