After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident of 1937, the second Sino-Japanese War broke out in full scale. The concern among Chinese in America grew rapidly, especially for those who had family members left in China. These Chinese Americans not only faced constant discrimination within the United States, but following the incident felt further abandoned by international society. On May 9, 1938, Chinese Americans in New York took part in a parade to make their voices heard and to raise money for the Chinese efforts against the Japanese. Marchers used slogans like “To Save China, To Save Ourselves,” connecting their quest for equal rights in the U.S. to the survival of Chinese nationals in China. Here, women wearing traditional cheongsams carry a gigantic Chinese Nationalist flag as both a patriotic symbol and a practical container for catching donations thrown by the crowd.
1937年的卢沟桥事变导致抗日战争全面爆发。在美华人的忧虑情绪快速积聚，尤其是对于那些有家人在中国的华人来说。这些美国华人除了在美国社会中处处受到歧视以外，这次事变还让他们更加觉得自己被国际社会所抛弃。1938年5月9日，美国华人在纽约参加了一场为自己发声的游行，并为了中国人民的抗日战争而筹集善款。游行者使用“拯救中国，拯救自己”的口号，将自身在美国对平等权利的追求与中国人民在自己的土地上的生存联系在一起。在这里，穿着传统旗袍的华人女性举起巨大的青天白日旗，既是爱国的象征，也用来接住人群投掷过来的善款。
