Extended information:
Seventh son:
One, Guangzhou Bay.
Guangzhou Bay refers to the current Zhanjiang. At that time, Zhanjiang was the largest city in the western part of Guangdong. It was also close to the sea and had shipping advantages. Therefore, it was spotted by the great powers. In 1899, France took the opportunity to rent it by force. Zhanjiang City, but its name was Guangzhou Bay at that time. It was not until after the Second World War that Guangzhou Bay returned to the embrace of the motherland.
Second, Weihaiwei.
Weihaiwei is a strategic location on the Shandong Peninsula. It is also a military port. During the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War, the Beiyang Navy was completely annihilated in Weihaiwei. The Sino-Japanese War ended with a disastrous defeat for the Qing Dynasty. In the end, the Qing government signed the Treaty of Shimonoseki, which was humiliating and humiliating to the country. Weihaiwei
was occupied by Japan after the Sino-Japanese War. It was not taken back until after World War II, which is now Weihai City.
Three, Dalian.
Dalian, originally called Qingniwa, is located at the southernmost tip of the Liaodong Peninsula and is the largest port in Northeast China. At the end of 1897, the then Tsarist Russia directly sailed warships to Lushunkou, and then established a port in Qingniwa. Moreover, the Tsar himself named it "Dali Ni" in Russian. However, after the Russo-Japanese War, Dalian was again controlled by the Japanese and was not taken back until 1945.
Four, Hong Kong Island.
This is the place that everyone is most familiar with. At the beginning, Hong Kong Island was just a fishing village. After the Qing government was defeated in the First Opium War, it was forced to sign the Treaty of Nanjing and ceded Hong Kong Island to Britain. During World War II, Japan occupied Hong Kong. After World War II
After the end of World War II, Hong Kong was not recovered and did not officially return to the motherland until 1997. It is now the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and it has been 20 years since Hong Kong returned to the motherland.
Five, Kowloon.
Kowloon is one of the main components of Hong Kong, known as the Kowloon Peninsula, with an area of ??nearly 8 square kilometers. After the British occupied Hong Kong Island and the New Territories, they gradually occupied the Kowloon Peninsula. In the 24th year of Guangxu's reign, the Kowloon Peninsula was forcibly leased and incorporated into Hong Kong. Now the Kowloon Peninsula is very prosperous. Kowloon City is located in the south. It returned to the embrace of the motherland in 1997.
Six, Macau.
"Did you know that Ma Kang is not my real surname" refers to Macau. During the Ming Dynasty, Portuguese colonists came to China, and when they arrived at what is now the Macau Peninsula, they refused to leave. In 1553, the Portuguese obtained the right of residence in Macau by bribing local officials. In 1887, Portugal forced the Qing government to sign an unequal treaty and occupied Macau. In 1999, Macau returned to the embrace of the motherland and is now the Macau Special Administrative Region.
Seven, Taiwan Island.
Taiwan has been an integral part of China since ancient times. After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, the Qing government signed the humiliating Treaty of Shimonoseki and ceded Taiwan and the Penghu Islands to Japan. Taiwan became a Japanese colony until 1945, when Taiwanese cuisine escaped Japanese rule. However, due to historical reasons, Taiwan is still isolated overseas. We sincerely hope that Taiwan can return to the embrace of the motherland as soon as possible and complete the great reunification of the motherland.
