In November 1931, the Jiangqiao Campaign broke out – China's first organized armed resistance against Japanese aggression after the September 18 Incident, remembered as "the first shot of China's armed resistance against fascist aggression."

A war correspondent from Japan's Kwantung Army filmed the invasion, the capture of Qiqihar, and even the entry ceremony of occupying forces.

Ninety-four years later, this rare 9.5-millimeter film reel remains in the care of collector Zhang Shuming.

It preserves the entire episode, making the camera an irrefutable witness.

The truth is clear, and history cannot be denied.
