There was such an incident on the Border between China and Russia, where more than 40,000 Chinese gathered at the border and strongly demanded to return to their homeland.
In the face of these people's calls, the attitude of the border guards was very resolute, insisting on stopping them outside the country. What they did in the first place and why they were banned from returning.
This has to start with a major migration in 1962, when 61,000 border residents came to the border in order to defect to the Soviet Union, and the officers and soldiers stationed there were particularly surprised when they saw this scene.
Just when everyone was hesitating and did not know how to deal with it, the superior leader suddenly issued an order, asking everyone to exercise restraint, calmly treat those who asked to appear on camera, not to use force against them, let alone shoot at them, and let them leave.
Because of the state's leniency, these 60,000 people successfully left the border. The migration lasted for three days and three nights before it was completely over, and when these people left, they took hundreds of thousands of livestock and 400,000 acres of fertile land that should have been cultivated, but because of the lack of labor, they were almost abandoned, and the social impact was extremely bad.
I believe that many people have heard such a saying, everything has a cause and effect, anything is not sudden, there must be a root.
The departure of these more than 60,000 border people has a lot to do with the two major generals. One of the two men was named Margolf and the other was named Zunon.
When he was young, Margov was a brave and enthusiastic young man, and he was wanted many times to fight against the old warlords, and once he was even arrested and imprisoned, suffering a lot.
Even so, Margov did not succumb to the old warlords and insisted on joining the revolutionary movement. After following the party organization to win a brilliant victory, Markov became a senior cadre in Xinjiang, and when he was awarded the title in 1955, Markov was awarded the rank of major general for his high merits.
Zunong's experience, similar to Margolf's, was also a talented man who was awarded the rank of major general in 1955.
Two people are of high status and have a great future, and if they stay in the country, they have every chance to achieve higher achievements. Unfortunately, the two did not always stick to their principles, but chose to betray under the influence of the Soviet Union.
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, China often had close exchanges with the Soviet Union because of its development needs. As the big brother of the socialist camp, the Soviet Union, hindered its own face, provided some technical support to our country, and also sent some experts to popularize scientific and technological knowledge in our country.
When the two sides were close, the Soviet Union even promised to help China develop nuclear weapons and make China truly strong.
The Soviet Union's words sound good, but in fact they have no intention of fulfilling their commitments, they just want to maliciously infiltrate our country in this way and gain more benefits for themselves.
At that time, the Soviet Union was very strong militarily, but in fact their situation was not very good. At the outbreak of World War 2, the Soviet Union was greatly affected by the fierce attack of Germany.
In the process of counterattack, the Soviet Union sent a large number of soldiers to the front, although the victory was finally won, but the population of the Soviet Union was greatly reduced.
The Soviet Union after the end of the war can be described as a waste to be revived. Most of their adult men died on the battlefield, and the entire country was severely understaffed.
Therefore, the Soviet Union urgently needed foreign populations to help them with economic construction. To achieve this goal, the Soviet Union started the Idea of China. Taking advantage of the opportunity of Sino-Soviet cooperation, they sent people to China many times to make overt and covert visits, and secretly spread some remarks.
The Soviet side claimed that if the people in the border areas were willing to come to the Soviet Union, they could get a lot of benefits, and the milk bread could be eaten casually, and the houses and tents could be lived at will.
At that time, China's economic situation was very severe, and many people could not even eat enough. This kind of propaganda in the Soviet Union is a temptation that is difficult to resist for the people in the border areas.
Normally speaking, the cadres of the border areas should strictly guard against death and clarify the lies spread by the Soviet side as soon as possible. However, judging from the results, these cadres, instead of adhering to their principles, helped the Soviet Union continue to spread news and seduced more people.
The reason for this situation is also very simple; the cadres of these border areas have already had the idea of betrayal because of the Soviet Union's co-optation, and they are eager to run to the Soviet Union at once to enjoy life, and they are not at all willing to propagate the correct ideas to the common people.
This was a very bad result, and under the influence of these people, more and more people believed the propaganda of the Soviet side. They dragged their families to the border areas in an attempt to break through the border and move to Soviet life.
As generals, Margolf and Zunong, because of their special status, have long been influenced by the Soviet Union. The two men have an unshirkable historical responsibility for the mass transfer of border people.
After the central leaders learned of the situation in the border areas, they suggested to Chairman Mao that the two culprits be arrested and severely punished.
Although the wise Chairman Mao was very disappointed in what the two men had done, he did not order severe punishment, but said very generously that since he was leaving, we would not have to keep it, and it would be a few decades before who was right and who was wrong.
Eventually, Margov and Zunong took more than 60,000 people from the border areas to live in the Soviet Union. These people thought that after arriving in the Soviet Union, they would be able to eat, wear and warm up and live a good life, but the development of the facts was far beyond their expectations.
The Soviets only let them live a few days of stability, and began to force them to work, and some were even sent to the cold Siberian mining permafrost. It's a very hard job, and the people who go there are almost like coolies.
Many people, dissatisfied with the Soviet Union's arrangements, had the idea of fleeing, and as a result, before they left, they were forcibly arrested by the Soviet Union, and there was no freedom at all. To prevent these people from escaping, the Soviet Union even blocked the border and did not allow anyone to enter and leave casually.
With no way out, these men reluctantly held out in the Soviet Union for some years. In 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed due to internal and external difficulties, and Russia, although it inherited a large inheritance, did not stabilize the situation in the country quickly.
The defectors who had lost control took advantage of this opportunity to run to the border line and demand a return to the motherland, only to be stopped by our border guards.
The reason is simple, these people have long given up their Chinese identity, and no one knows whether there are some spies mixed in with them. If a large number of unknown people are allowed to cross the border, it is likely to cause us some security risks.
When the civilian compatriots learned of the situation on the border, they were very supportive of the choice of border guards. These people, who were not determined, defected to the Soviet Union in those years in spite of principles, ruthlessly left the motherland, saw that the motherland was getting stronger and stronger, and wanted to come back to enjoy happiness. This kind of person who only wants to gain benefits and does not want to work hard is not entitled to enjoy the fruits of the hard work of his predecessors.
Once Upon a time, China, because of its backwardness and poverty, was disliked by them in various ways. Today's China is becoming an increasingly powerful country in the East that they cannot afford. Those traitors can only spend the rest of their lives in regret, silently tasting the bitter fruits they have planted.
