Photos of Life in China During the 1920s-1930s During the early 19th century, Louis-Philippe Messelier left France for China and settled in Shanghai. He was a photojournalist for the French Journal of Shanghai. There, he witnessed eccentric street performances, film studios at work, the untouched countryside, and the local aristocracy. Messelier managed to capture a rare view of the country and its unique traditions juxtaposed with modern life.
