What can 40 old photographs reveal about a revolution that changed China's course?
Opened on Oct 10 at the Hankow Customs House Museum in Wuhan, Hubei province, the exhibition Through the Mirror of the Other: Visual Memories of China's Great Revolution takes visitors back to a turbulent chapter in Chinese history.
From the Northern Expedition's capture of Wuchang in 1926 to the recovery of the British Concession in Hankou in 1927, these images offer a vivid glimpse into a period of upheaval, change, and uncertainty. The revolution ultimately ended in failure in 1927, leaving behind memories that continue to invite reflection.
Dates: Until Dec 31
