我媽就生活在那個年代。她說她去溫州住的時候，上街就是到各個船上買東西。後來我去了溫州，發現他們把小河都堵上做成路了，真的很失望。

Anyone knows what the missing part of the introductory sentence is? "One seldom thinks of China ... [ABRUPT CUT] ... and yet their artificial waterways would reach 9 times around the Earth ..."

Almost all of these old footages have these strange cuts. Censorship?

好漢休提當年勇，
但看今朝又如何。
1930年代中國情狀，和現今2020光景，相較之下竟有天壤之別，國家間競賽劇烈，宛如逆水行舟，不上進就下滑，仔細端詳美、日等昔日列強近年來債台高築，那份窮酸邪相，有夠駭人聽聞，只有中國一枝獨秀，堪稱列國翹楚。

Great footage, immensely stupid commentary, typical for the times...

[@carcaperu4041]

Great video, poor narration.

Como era sofrido a vida dos chineses antes do comunismo, as pessoas na maioria, viviam pouco mais de 30 anos apenas. O comunismo deu dignidades para o povo chinês.
