Bygone China provides viewers an in-depth exploration of Chinese history. Through examining antique photographs, maps, and relics, and through visiting historical remains first-hand, I bring to life the story of bygone China.
thanks for this, I was hoping for the stories of each of the 8 immortals

You can understand China's animosity to the west these days ....2 opium wars and the "century of humiliation" explain a lot. Im actually disgusted any time i read about this time of european/ chinese interaction. It really goes to show how colonial powers had so little disregard for people and culture snd were just in it for the riches..

The Chinese people will not forget the shame of being bullied by the west powers in the last 150-200 years. That is why Chris wants to be strong again and enable stand on it own feet. China is at the moment certainly the strangest competitor to the west.

"War trophy" equals "let's force the Chinese to become opium adicts, and when they try to stop us, we'll destroy thier cultural landmarks and steal thier priceless treasures and artifacts." - There's a lot of conflict between China & the West lasting even until today which has it's roots anchored in the two opium wars. We in the West try as hard as we can never to think about it, but in China they don't just nonchalantly forget these things. In some ways getting our kids sddicted to TikTok and disrespectfully stealing all our private data through these apps can be percieved as thier revenge. But revenge is always wrong, and one hopes, that someday, the Chinese will abandon ruthless Communism and China and the West can approach each other in the spirit of mutual respect and cooperation. If there had been more cooperation and trust between the West and China all along, the global COVID-19 pandemic which killed millions of people may well mot have happened and we could've contained it as we did with Ebola, Zika, SARS, etc.

I don’t know if this is true but I heard that according to some historian the Chinese Summer Palace Yuan Ming Yuan was looted twice. The first time during the Second Opium War by both the British and the French, and the second time during the Boxer Rebellion by all the eight nations’ soldiers who took part in putting down the rebellion.

TRIVIA : CENTRAL ASIAN ARCHAEOLOGIST:- Sir Aurel Stein :- Born Nov. 26, 1862, Budapest, HUNGARY-died Oct. 26, 1943, Kabul, AFGHANISTAN : Hungarian-British archaeologist and geographer whose travels and research in central Asia, particularly in Chinese Turkistan, revealed much about its strategic role in history. Born:- Nov. 26, 1862, Budapest, Hungary. Died:- Oct. 26, 1943, Kabul, Afnistan. (aged 80) He was the Principal of the Oriental College, Lahore, Punjab, India (now in Pakistan; 1888-99), in 1892 he published his Sanskrit edition of the only known surviving ancient Indian historical work, the 12th-century Rājataraṅgiṇī by Kalhaṇa. His English translation, A Chronicle of the Kings of Kaśmīr, followed in 1900. In that year he began the first of his central Asian expeditions, traveling through westernmost China to Khotan. In the course of this and three other expeditions (1906-08, 1913-16, and 1930), he traced the ancient caravan routes between China and the West, made valuable geographical observations on little-known regions, and collected many documents and artifacts, from Neolithic stone tools to 8th-century-AD grave findings and textiles. Near Tun-huang he discovered the Cave of the Thousand Buddhas, unknown outside China, which, with its extraordinary assemblage of paintings, temple banners, and documents, had been walled up since the 11th century. Many of the treasures he found are in the Asian Antiquities Museum, New Delhi. The results of his work of this period were published in Ancient Khotan, 2 vol. (1907), Serindia, 5 vol. (1921), and Innermost Asia, 4 vol. (1928). Superintendent of the Indian Archaeological Survey (1910-29), Stein was also interested in Greco-Buddhist remains and in tracing Alexander the Great’s eastern campaigns. In 1926, at Pīr Sarāi, near the Indus River, he identified the site of Alexander’s storming of the nearly impregnable Rock of Aornos. Other studies by Stein added to the precise knowledge of Alexander’s movements in Asia. In an effort to elucidate the relationship between Mesopotamian and Indus civilizations, Stein investigated ancient mounds in Iran and Baluchistan. He also carried out an aerial photographic reconnaissance of the Roman frontiers in Iraq. Near his 81st birthday, his long-standing wish to explore in Afghanistan was granted, but he died there before he could commence his work. A British subject from 1904, he was knighted in 1912. HE WAS KNIGHTED FOR ROBBING CHINA BLIND OF HER HERITAGE:
