EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures the aftermath of the heavy bombing that struck the Chinese city of Chongqing, also known as Chungking, in September 1943. During World War II, Chongqing served as the provisional capital of the Republic of China, making it a significant target for the Japanese military. In this image, the destruction wrought by Japanese aircraft is evident, with buildings reduced to rubble and the once bustling streets now empty and silent. The smoke rising from the ruins adds to the sense of devastation and loss. The people of Chongqing endured years of hardship and sacrifice as they withstood the relentless bombing campaigns. Despite the destruction, the resilient spirit of the Chinese people shone through, as they worked tirelessly to rebuild their city and carry on in the face of adversity. This historical photograph is a powerful reminder of the impact of war on civilian populations and the indomitable human spirit that can rise from the ashes of destruction.
