EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intensity and brutality of the Second Sino-Japanese War as Japanese troops launch an all-out attack on the city of Chungking, also known as Chongqing, in China. From the end of 1938, Chungking served as the base and provisional capital of Chiang Kai-Shek's Nationalist government, making it a strategic target for Japanese forces. Despite relentless aerial bombardment and repeated attempts to take the city, the Chinese defenders held firm, refusing to surrender. The resilience of Chungking's citizens and military became a symbol of Chinese resistance against Japanese aggression. The photograph shows Japanese soldiers advancing through the smoky streets, their determined expressions contrasting with the devastation around them. The image is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the indomitable spirit of those who fought to protect their homeland. Dated between 1937 and 1945, this photograph offers a unique glimpse into a pivotal moment in Chinese and world history.
