Several years ago the National Film Archives began to actively collect such footage. The late film director Ho Chi-ming led searchers to a batch of films shot around 1940, which had been kept in the storage room of a primary school in Taichung County. A large number of these were related to the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, the Battle for Shanghai, and the occupation of Nanjing.
幾年前，國家電影資料館積極尋找這類影片，在已故導演何基明的帶領下，在台中縣一所國小的倉庫內，找到了一批攝製於一九四○年左右的宣傳影片，其中有大量關於蘆溝橋、八一三事變，和佔領南京的影像紀錄。
