The image is a photograph of a sign on a wall that reads "Section 2: The invasion of China by imperialist powers". The sign is written in black text on a beige background. The text is in Japanese and appears to be a historical document. The title of the article is "After Britain started the Opium War in 1840, the imperial powers descended on China like a swarm of bees, looting our treasures and killing our people. They forced the Qing government to sign a series of unequal treaties that granted them economic, political and cultural privileges and sank China gradually into a semi-colonial, semi-federal society. The contradictions between imperialism and the Chinese nation and between feudalism and the broad masses of the people became the primary contradictions in modern Chinese society. Achieving national independence and liberation of the peoples, and making the country strong and prosperous and happy became the two great historical missions of the Chinese national throughout its modern history."
