In china's recent history, the accumulation of shame is not the loss of national dignity, but more important land, especially the loss of strategic resources. The most critical of these are lakes, especially those with vast areas and abundant water resources, which have become a huge regret of the country. And even if some lakes are recovered, but the recovered part is very small, the most typical of the following 4,000 square kilometers of this huge lake, why china only took back more than 1,000 square kilometers? You might not think of it.
This lake is Xingkai Lake. Xingkai Lake is the largest lake in the ancient northeast region, known as the Beiqin Sea, which shows its huge size. The whole lake area is very large, more than 4300 square kilometers, almost larger than many cities. Its annual water volume reaches 20 billion cubic meters, which is the largest lake in northeast China. Xingkai Lake from the Han and Tang Dynasties is China's inherent territory, is China's inner lake, to the Qing Dynasty is the large lake of Xingkai Lake as the Manchu Longxing land, is the mother lake of Manchuria. Therefore, development is strictly prohibited.
For more than 200 years in the Qing Dynasty, there were still residents around Xingkai Lake, but as a result, because the land of Longxing was forbidden to develop, it eventually became a no-man's land. And now the boundary of Xingkai Lake has long been determined, more than 4300 square kilometers of Xingkai Lake, China only took back more than 1000 square kilometers, about one-third, the remaining 3000 square kilometers that is Russia. So the huge Xingkai Lake, why did China only take back more than 1,000 square kilometers? The root cause was the invasion of Tsarist Russia. After Tsarist Russia entered the northeast of our country, if it entered no man's land, especially when it saw the huge Xingkai Lake, it was considered to be a strategic place, so it must be occupied.
On the contrary, the Qing Dynasty government did not attach importance to Xingkai Lake at that time, and by the time the Russian invasion came, it was already powerless. Because there is no inhabitant, it is impossible to resist with the army. In the end, under the coercion and inducement of Tsarist Russia, the Qing government signed a treaty to directly cede more than 3,000 square kilometers of land in Xingkai Lake to Tsarist Russia, making the huge Xingkai Lake change from an inner lake to a boundary lake, while China only took back more than 1,000 square kilometers, and now it has completed the demarcation and signed a boundary agreement, which is basically difficult to change.
And now China's Xingkai Lake part has become a national 4A scenic spot, built into an ecological tourist attraction, and whenever the Chinese people come here to travel, they will still ask why China has only taken back more than 1,000 square kilometers! This is the tragedy of history, and it is difficult to change, so what we can do is to make the tragedy happen again. What do you readers think about this?
