Early 20<\/strong>th<\/strong> Century China:\u00a0The 1930s<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In the decades that followed, this aura of hopefulness gave way to despair. While the 1920s Shanghai Sketch<\/em> magazines revel in the modern, displaying imported Western commodities like cars, clothing, and hairstyles, the covers of Manhua<\/em> and Current Events<\/em> from the 1930s portray a darker mood on the rise. This era saw escalating civil war, the Japanese invasion of 1937, mounting Western interests, and China\u2019s inability to manage the increasing chaos. Writer and activist Lu Xun\u2019s quote, \u201cLies that were written in ink can never cover up the truths that were written in blood,\u201d encapsulates China\u2019s struggles in the first decades of the twentieth century.<\/p>\n
