An extraordinary window on to the heart of cosmopolitan Shanghai over a hundred years ago - a true melting pot of cultures. Today the city's main shopping hub, Nanjing Road is here bustling with crowds of Chinese and Europeans and patrolled by Sikhs who made up an important part of the international police force. It is the only known surviving example of the film reportage shot by British war correspondent Joe Rosenthal during his coverage of the Boxer Rebellion in China between 1900 and 1901.

It's amazing to be able to see footage from the Qing Dynasty.
There are few others but they were shot shortly after the collapse of the Qing Dynasty.
it was a International Concession at Shanghai. Look at the Indian/ Raj Soldiers there at 1:03
Yeah it is
Ikr
Amazing! The film quality is remarkably good for 1901
When this was taken queen victoria was still queen of England and china was ruled by an empress. Not even the last emperor/ empress of China but second to last, empress dowager cixi.
Wow! It's so amazing footage, thanks a lot admin.
I've visited this road before. Certainly looks different now. Huge Apple store and a costa coffee!
1901 quality better than video from the 2000's lol
The film is over 120 years old and amazingly well preserved.
I wonder who is that impressive woman riding a bicycle along Nankin Road in 1901! We may never know the name. A Shanghailander for sure. Greetings from Winnipeg, Canada.
She looks like a foreigner, not Chinese. And those soldiers look like they are maybe Indian.
I wonder who was the courageous girl riding her bike on Nanjing Road!!!
Beautiful imagery from so long ago ..thanks
can I use this clip for a colorization project?? I plan to make a video with a few selected videos that will be colorized and would like to show my skills. Can I use this video?? I will of course give You creds
Explanation for the people with turbans in the video: they used to be foreign guard sentries of Shanghai, usually used to uphold order within alleys, especially shikumen alleys and manor entrances
Weird thinking that a rebellion either just ended or is going on at this time
Wow
Caste system:
1- no horse 🐎 or human to carry them.
2- you have a human for horse
3- You have a horse carriage (high class)
4- Foreigners
You underestimate the old Shanghai parliament...there is no casta system. After 1870, due to too many traffic accidents, the Shanghai Municipal Bureau stipulated that load of vehicles north of the Huangpu River should not exceed 600 pounds at a time, thus restricting dirty and unsafe transportation such as horse-drawn carriages to outside the urban area, leaving only rickshaws and bicycles.

Kebudayaan yang sudah tidak diperlukan lagi, kini jamannya modernisasi
Compared with more than 100 years, the main changes are living habits such as thinking, food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Its weird that life in 1200s would probably be very similar.
*Sikh people then in China @**1:00*
And their masters, the british
@@donovan8747 why you triggered hindu?
It was a statement of fact 😅😊
@@garryj7845 Because Sikh come out of Hindu so how we to look into this matter..do you understand my lassi loving Son 🤣
@@parasgates7648 blah blah sikh came out of hindu. Shame on you for calling Sikhs hindus
The same rickshaw still available in Calcata
It had just been open up as a port after the foreign invasion of Peking a year ago. You could see a well-dressed gentleman riding by and a house of indian policemen from East Indie, while local still kept their tail-hair as a Qing symbol.
2019 :))
Weird seeing sikh sepoys in the heart of china.
Because China was half colonized by European, American and Japan! Sikh was brought by British to be police officers in the colonial zone!
Right after the Boxer Rebellion 1900
我看到印度士兵了最后，I saw the INdia soldiers finally!haha
Think they are actually Sikhs in the Shanghai Police...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghai_Municipal_Police
that is cool. but looks like german soldiers with them?
@@euckb Those German soldiers are most probably unrelated and by chance just happened to be walking the same road
It has been a long journey for China to evolve into what it is today.
Wow u can see those men w those long hairs. If the Manchu didn’t force the hans to shave it off on the front and still had their hanfu, imagine that
love beautiful Han garments
In late Qing era and after republic was installed, many man didn't cut their front hair but still keep their queue back
unfortunately the last chinese dynasty was not han😢 at that time chinese will look better with the han hairstyles and culture
@@carljohnson8470 The Manchus could had abolished the hairstyle law. Guess they were too proud of that.
damn they were in good shape
so my nowadays i still don t know what my grand grand father do.
peasant...today，99.99% chinese ‘ ancestors are peasant
100 years before youtube was invented.
That looks like the British army walking around like they own the place.
Also German soldiers in pickelhaube helmets
not really
Wong!
@@michaeljohanson9504 Wong? Yeah that’s a common Asian last name.
@@YappieKitchen lol
who is Huo Yuan Jia? :D
A martial artist.
he was not here，he lived in another city 120km from Beijing，Tienjin
And Dr Seuss gets banned for drawing them.
The world was so much more unique and fascinating back then. I hate modern times so much
Know history? That was colonist empire’s
@@mjeniffer12 At least the tomb of Confucius, Justice Bao and Ngok Fei were intact
I hate those times....it was full of cruelty and hunger and I love this time it's peaceful and prosperous
@@Amoghavarsha. peaceful? LOL
Kai jiya ba yau ba
PO SAHABAT ANUGRAH
I saw many rickshaws, one horse carriage and one carriage carried by either by servants or labors. How come I saw a whole bunch of Indian wore military uniforms in Shanghai at the last scene?
Why are there foreigner soldiers walking the streets of Shanghai?
because europeans invaded china for 100 years
Shanghai was a colony of europe usa and japan
@@EncIave- Yeah, I know that now. Those sons of bitches.
Почти. Все. На. Видео. Уже. Мертвецый
Да все уже.
Who were those wearing turbans?

Men replace horses when carrying wheel carts people!! No horse shit on the streets ... good idea!!

German officers and Ottoman troops?
John Kennington They are actually Sikh troops (possibly policemen) with British Officers.
they are indians... shanghi was under rule of britan so they had indians do cops job
Troops from british india
John Kennington
Sikh Policemen were preferred by the British from 1860 to WW2

You are looking at history backwards with a revisionist mindset and modern sensibilities
From 1846 to 1919 the Sikhs and British were best friends. They fought together, exploited other nations and grew rich.
In 1919 after the Great War, the act of a few British men led to the Jallianwala Bagh massacre which destroyed Anglo-Sikh relations and some Sikhs soon started joining the Indian cause for independence.
My great grandfather Inder Singh was there in China around that time - 51st Sikhs - Frontier Force
These people hadn't heard of an invention called "horses".
My Hindu friend... get off the road.
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
I PREFERE THIS CHINA AGAINST THE CHINA OF TODAY
