China: The bomb damaged entrance to The Great World entertainment complex, a consequence of the Battle of Shanghai (1937).

The Great World Entertainment Centre, facing onto the wide intersection of Yanan Lu and Xizang Lu, was the largest and most infamous entertainment complex of old Shanghai, with music, films, opera, magic, bars, brothels and fortune-tellers.

The Battle of Shanghai (1937), known in Chinese as Battle of Songhu, was the first of the twenty-two major engagements fought between the National Revolutionary Army of the Republic of China and the Imperial Japanese Army of the Empire of Japan during the Second Sino-Japanese War. It was one of the largest and bloodiest battles of the entire war.
