Dear fellow gamers,
The time has come for another article and we would like to share some « art » with you. As the title says, let us introduce the portraits of historical characters!
In Rise of the White Sun, you will come across the path of many historical figures of the 1920s and 1930s China. Fortunately, these persons were nice enough to get photographed, for the greater benefits of future generations (including us).
It is unsurprisingly difficult though to find quality pictures of the 1920s. Major historical figures are usually fine. But some lesser known persons leave very few photographs of them behind (staring at you Chen Bulei!).
You may (or not) also be quite surprised to hear that finding pictures of these people in the right age for the given timeframe (1920-1931) is often a nightmare. Mao Zedong, for instance, has few surviving 1920s photos of him; so let us not even talk about quality! We promise to try and do our best to use the best quality portraits we can find.
Well, enough talking! Have a look at the below galery:
Sun Yatsen in 1922 
Wang Jingwei 
Hu Hanmin 
Liao Zhongkai 
Sun Ke (also known as Sun Fo), Sun Yatsen’s son 
Young Zhou Enlai 
Young Mao Zedong. This picture is from the late 1920s. 
Chen Qimei – Chiang’s mentor murdered in 1916.
This is a first batch of the most important figures but be prepared for more to come!
A little game for you: can you tell who the below persons are? Let us know with your guessing in the comment section!
UPDATE 23/03/2020: Names are finally revealed! Were you correct?
Chiang Kai-shek (late 1910s) 
Mao Zedong (late 1910s) 
Du Yuesheng, Shanghai French Concession Green Gang boss
That is all for today, stay tuned for more info!

Hello Paul,
Unfortunately, no. You were probably deceived by the glasses. Actually, this is a photo of Chiang Kai-shek when he was in his late teens!
