This home movie shows a trip to Asia in 1946. It is part of a group of 16mm movies shot by an unknown American who was working for the OMEA, or Officer’s Moral Endeavor Association, a sort of non-governmental, YMCA type group operating in post-WWII China. The group was probably a Catholic organization, and possibly the person filming this was a member of the clergy as many churches are shown in the film. It’s unclear where this footage was shot -- but the first section is in Shanghai which suffered record flooding in 1946. There’s also footage that appears to have been shot in rural areas outside the city.
0:08 Rickshaws in the street
0:16 Flooded street. Flooding from rainwater and the Yellow River was very common in Shanghai before the installation of the rainwater sewers in mid-1980s. The period from 1937-1946 was historically some of the worst.
