Copies of unwanted old tabloids chronicle the ebb and flow of bygone eras.
For his study of local culture and entertainment, pop culture researcher Su Zhangkai amassed – and pored through – an extensive collection of newspapers and magazines from the 1950s and 60s. The vibrant Chinese tabloids of the 1950s reflected the lives and interests of ordinary citizens of the time, and also recorded grimier chapters of history in the development of our city state.
To vie for more readers, many newspapers and magazines stooped to sensationalism, crossing the lines of social morals. Even by today’s standards, they were pretty shocking.
In this episode of The Objects that Made Us, Su Zhangkai uncovers the forgotten footprints of time found in yellowed newspapers.
