24 Fascinating Photos of China From 100 Years Ago

The 1920s were a busy period in Chinese history, but people went on with their lives as they always do.

The 1920s were a busy period in Chinese history, as Sun Yat-sen's death in 1925 led to an eventual unified nationalist government under Chiang Kai-shek, and the start of the Second Republic of China.

Here are 24 photos of regular people on the street in China, around 100 years ago.
