Looking back at history, in the course of the development of modern history, our country has been bullied by the great powers. Under the encroachment of the great powers, the Chinese nation gradually lost its sovereignty and degenerated into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country, which was humiliated for more than a hundred years. It is like Hong Kong and Macao, which were occupied by foreign devils in the past, and did not regain sovereignty until the founding of New China. In fact, in addition to Hong Kong and Macao, Huaxia also has a concession of 99 years of land, but it returned to the motherland 50 years in advance. Do you know where this place is?
This place is Guangzhou Bay, which has always been coveted by the great powers. At that time, France set up a conspiracy and trickery to take Guangzhou Bay for itself, not to mention realizing its own dream. At that time, the Qing government was very weak and had no capital to fight with France, so france easily obtained the lease right of Guangzhou Bay. At that time, France forced the Qing government to sign an unequal treaty, which clearly stipulated that the lease period was 99 years. Therefore, after the French occupied Guangzhou Bay, a large amount of investment was made in this place, which made the local economy develop to a certain extent.
But these investments are basically of no benefit to our country, because these investments are mainly to plunder the resources of Guangzhou Bay. If we want to find some advantages from it, it is that they have promoted the development of China's modernization to a certain extent. After the outbreak of the war of aggression against China, Guangzhou Bay fell into the hands of the Japanese army and was plundered by the Japanese army.
After the Japanese occupation of Guangzhou Bay, the economy gradually declined. Although the Qing government was incompetent, the Chinese people were very brave during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and eventually won the Victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan. After Japan's surrender, Guangzhou Bay returned to the embrace of the motherland. After that, Guangzhou Bay was renamed Zhanjiang City. At present, this bright pearl has begun to shine, and there has been a good development in all aspects.
In the first two centuries, China was always in a passive situation, but now China is rich and strong, and has long become the hegemon of the world's east. However, the various dark tides are still surging and we still cannot take it lightly. The most important thing at the moment is to make yourself better and better. Only in this way can we make our own contributions to the prosperity and development of the country and let the world have better development.
