这是一本展示20世纪40年代中国多样性和差异的引人入胜的场景汇编。古老的紫禁城和长城之后是上海的大都市天际线；原始农业方法与机械化工厂并置；衣衫褴褛的儿童与穿着最新时装的模特形成对比；国民党指挥官和共产党领导人争相支持。

A fascinating compilation of scenes showing diversity and disparity in 1940s China. The ancient Forbidden City and Great Wall are followed by Shanghai’s metropolitan skyline; primitive farming methods are juxtaposed with mechanised factories; children in rags are contrasted with models wearing the latest fashions; Nationalist commanders and Communist leaders vie for support.
