In China's long history, there is an alley that was once a symbol of national shame, but now it has become a symbol of sovereignty and autonomy. This alley, called Dongjiaomin Alley, is located in Beijing and was once a haven for the great powers, but in the face of Chairman Mao's resolute determination, it has undergone a remarkable transformation.
At an important meeting, Chairman Mao firmly declared: "Dongjiaomin Lane is a scar on the face of the Chinese, and we must show the world that the new China is different from the old China!" This statement is not only a commitment to Chinese, but also a statement to the world. After the People's Liberation Army entered Beijing, ordinary people eagerly awaited that they would liberate Dongjiaomin Lane, a place once occupied by great powers.
However, it is not easy to reclaim Dongjiaomin Lane. Since the outbreak of the Opium War, China has gradually degenerated into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, and foreign powers have set up embassies in Dongjiaomin Lane, turning this area into their "small country". The fate of the land was subject to threats from the great powers, and the Qing government gave in to their demands after the signing of the Xinxiu Treaty. Dongjiaomin Lane was enlarged twentyfold to become a consular area for the great powers, who built walls, forts, and pillboxes to restrict access to Chinese, and it became a springboard for invasion of China.
In 1950, shortly after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chairman Mao ordered that the barracks of various countries in Dongjiaomin Lane must be recovered. However, when the People's Liberation Army informed countries such as Britain and the United States of this decision, they ignored it, arguing that China could not unilaterally reclaim the area. Chairman Mao's resolute attitude began to cause a sensation in the international community, declaring that New China did not recognize the old treaty and demanding that the international community re-recognize China's status.
Some countries withdrew their garrisons and barracks, but countries such as Britain and the United States still resisted. In Dongjiaomin Lane, the United States was particularly arrogant, refusing to let the PLA into the barracks, claiming that they had their classified documents. Chairman Mao issued an ultimatum for them to withdraw, giving them only seven days.
Eventually, the PLA forcibly entered the U.S. consulate and began to take over the barracks, and although the United States protested, it eventually reluctantly moved out of Dongjiaomin Lane. Other countries have also kept their promises and withdrawn their garrisons and barracks. This incident made the Chinese people deeply feel the importance of sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity.
When the People's Liberation Army finally took over Dongjiaomin Lane, the old Beijingers shed tears, understanding that "Chinese people have stood up from now on" is no longer just a slogan. Today, Dongjiaomin Alley is a historical monument that belongs to the Chinese people, and China has also demonstrated the gap between the old and new regimes through a firm stance.
