# Frame from a Japanese newsreel of Wang Jingwei's New Year address, "Sekai no reimei" (Dawn of the Century)

Black-and-white newsreel frame: a man in a high-collared military-style uniform with three medals speaks, a Chinese Nationalist sun emblem flag behind him, with white vertical Japanese subtitles at left and an NHK archive watermark. The subtitle has him say it is the time to build 'together with our allied Japan' (testimonial: a named Chinese leader's voice is used inside a Japanese-produced reel to vouch for the partnership).

## Text on the object

Original (Japanese) · read from the image, not independently checked

```
盟邦日本と共々建設せ
んとする秋である
```

English translation (machine translation by Claude, not verified by a fluent reader)

```
It is the time when we are about to build together with our allied nation Japan.
```

Two vertical subtitle columns, read right to left; the first character of the left column is partly obscured by the film's edge and read as 'ん' in context. The NHK logo at upper left is an archive watermark and omitted.
