At the end of the Qing Dynasty, China lost vast territory, including small islands and sandbars in the Erguna River, the "Nagisa", of which the Abagaitu Continent Nagisa was connected to the Chinese side during the dry period. Although this land rightfully belonged to China, Tsarist Russia unceremoniously occupied it. There is a unique historical background and story behind this event.
With an area of 57.56 square kilometers and located in the Erguna River, the geographical location of Abagaitu is very important. The origin of the name is derived from the Mongolian word "Abagaitu" meaning "mountain of women", which is closely related to the demarcation of the border.
The story dates back to 1727, when the Yongzheng Emperor sent officials to work with Russia on border mapping to clarify the territorial boundaries between the two countries. Along the long border, Qing officials were exhausted, and just when they were thirsty and exhausted, a Mongolian woman suddenly appeared and entertained them with sweet milk tea, reinvigorating their spirits and making the demarcation mission successfully completed. In honor of the Mongol woman's help, they named the island "Abagaitu". This legend shows that the land has always belonged to China without any dispute.
However, by the time of Xuantong, the Qing Dynasty was no longer as strong as it was during the Yongzheng period. Tsarist Russia saw this opportunity, and even local officials actively sought to occupy China, and the Abagatuzhu problem arose.
Although Russia occupied the land for some time, China has always insisted on sovereignty over Abagaituzhu. It was not until after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 that negotiations finally progressed. However, the negotiation process was tortuous and complex, taking more than a decade until 2005 when a border agreement was reached.
Taking into account the historical and current situation, the Abagaitu Zhou Nagisa was eventually divided into two parts. A large area of 34.55 square kilometers near the Chinese side belongs to China, while a small area of 23.01 square kilometers near the Russian side belongs to Russia.
On June 12, 2005, Colonel Rozhnikov represented Russia and Colonel Zhang Weizhi represented China in the Abbagaitu Continent Nagisa Handover Ceremony. The symbol of the border, Pillar 72, was soon erected, and Abagaitu Zhu, a land that had been separated from the motherland for 94 years, finally returned to the embrace of the motherland.
Today, Abagaitu has become a wetland, home to more than a dozen species of waterbirds, and rich in plant resources. The river is crisscrossed and the scenery is pleasant, like a paradise. This natural treasure is a precious gift from nature to mankind and should be cherished. Preserving and protecting this area is not only a respect for history, but also a responsibility to nature. In this beautiful land, China and Russia share this precious natural heritage.
