This print from the 1920s, titled "China, Cantonese soldier shot dead" captures a poignant moment in history. The image showcases a tragic incident that occurred in March 1927 when a brave Cantonese soldier was fatally shot while attempting to enter the British Concession at Shanghai. The photograph, preserved as a postcard by Lebrecht History and now available through Bridgeman Images, offers us a glimpse into the tumultuous early twentieth century in China. It serves as a reminder of the complex dynamics between different factions during this time. In this thought-provoking street scene, we witness the aftermath of violence and its impact on society. The lifeless body of the fallen soldier lies motionless on the ground, symbolizing both sacrifice and loss. This haunting image invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as war, conflict, and human resilience.

It provides valuable insights into Chinese history and sheds light on how political tensions shaped everyday life during this period. Through this powerful visual narrative captured within an early twentieth-century postcard format, we are transported back in time to witness one individual's struggle against formidable odds.
