What were the daily necessities in the Republic of China?

Speaking of the Republic of China, a near and far era. Warlords scuffle, impressive. Today I occupied your territory, and tomorrow I will take away your population. I can't help thinking of a bustling scene in Shanghai.

This article does not talk about how warlords come and go in the Republic of China, nor why Shanghai is so prosperous. Let's talk about what the daily necessities were like in the Republic of China.

Before I talk about the daily necessities of the Republic of China, let me think about it. Is it about the city or the general life of residents? After careful consideration, I still talked about the daily necessities of cities during the Republic of China. After all, in that deformed era, ordinary people couldn't even eat rice, let alone pursue daily necessities. So we can only start with the city.

To respect women, say cosmetics first. During the Republic of China, there were many foreign cosmetics that were most popular with women at that time. Such as cream, perfume, lipstick, nail polish, hair gel and so on. Lipstick is America's favorite. At that time, the lipstick produced by TANGEE brand was the most accepted by the public, and now it can be said to be a luxury. When a woman goes to the street, she always carries a purse from Yong 'an Shopping Mall, which contains some small wooden combs, mirror art paper, rouge and lipstick. There are also some wet wipes, pictures of people in my heart. But these only exist in the upper class, and ordinary people may not touch them, let alone have them. Ordinary women may go out as handkerchiefs, wrapped in money and some things.

Men may only wear suits and hats. Even many rich children have special seats for foreign cars. Trams are also a major feature of the Republic of China, and rickshaws are also a way of life for people. The bourgeoisie also has some high-end daily necessities such as electric fans. Bicycles are also common things.

But these are only for the upper class. Ordinary people can't even use electricity, let alone use electric fans. This is an unattainable thing.

Take off the coat of the city and lift the fig leaf of Shanghai, Shenyang and other big cities. During the Republic of China, we really had nothing to aspire to. Even in those days, the lives of ordinary people were simply miserable.
