After the defeat of Vietnam in the counterattack against Vietnam, why did the commander of the Vietnamese army still write a letter of thanks to China?
Vietnam's early relations with China were very good, because the two countries were geographically close, but Vietnam ended up becoming an ungrateful country, and with the support of the Soviet Union, he actually wanted to attack China. Because at that time, after the end of China's War of Resistance, it was in the recovery period, there were still many countries that were looking at China and wanted to devour it, and the Soviet Union used the hand of Vietnam to carry out a tentative attack on China, and after China received this signal, it naturally would not back down, and at this moment it could only face the difficulties and fight against Vietnam, and launched a self-defense counterattack war against Vietnam.
Vietnam is a very incompetent country, he thought that their forces could attack China, and Deng Xiaoping directly gave our People's Liberation Army an order, that is, to give Vietnam a downward spiral in the shortest time and in the most concise way, but when attacking Vietnam, it took only one month to withdraw its troops, not that China could not defeat Vietnam, but to give Vietnam a warning, not to swallow vietnam, but to warn them not to provoke China.
After Arriving in Vietnam, China at that time maintained the war for more than a month and then took more than 2,000 prisoners. After capturing these prisoners, they were brought back directly to China, and there was a general in Vietnam, that is, General Wu Yuanjia, who was the commander of the Vietnamese army! Wu Yuanjia was actually very opposed to attacking China at first, but in order to carry out the order, he still obeyed the order!
After General Wu Yuanjia retired from the army, in order to increase relations with China, he preferred to personally come forward and write a very sincere letter of thanks, expressing their hope to reconcile with China as before! There are also many people who are very confused as to why General Wu Yuanjia wanted to write this letter of thanks, because after many Vietnamese prisoners came to China, the Chinese people and comrades-in-arms did not abuse them, but treated them like their own families, taught them to read and write, told them about China's customs and customs, they quickly integrated with Chinese, and China brought them a lot of happiness.
So after many of them returned to China, they were also very grateful to Chinese, General Wu Yuanjia is also a very intelligent and intelligent person, he can see the current situation clearly, he is also willing to lower his posture to write such a letter of thanks, which is also the first step in the easing of relations between China and Vietnam, and It is also a very great feat for General Wu Yuanjia to be able to do so.
