A Treasure Trove of History Returns to China! π«π·πΈπ¨π³
Imagine discovering a hidden treasure left by your grandfather! That’s exactly what happened to a young Frenchman named Marcus Detrez. He found 622 rare photographs that his grandfather, Roger-Pierre Laurens, took in China during World War II!
Excited by this amazing find, Marcus traveled all the way to China to bring these photos back where they belong. π¦βοΈ He hopes to donate them to Chinese institutions so everyone can learn from them.
The photos might show important moments from history, like scenes from the Japanese invasion of China, including the events in Shanghai in 1937. Some pictures may even reveal the hardships people faced, like damage to temples and monuments.
These photographs could help us understand history better, but experts still need to check them to make sure they are authentic. π
Isn’t it cool how old photos can connect us to the past? What would you do if you discovered something special like this? π€
