"Crossing the Guandong" is a very important historical event in modern Chinese history, referring to the process of a large number of Chinese migrating from the area west of Shanhaiguan to the northeast during the last years of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.
The area east of Shanhaiguan, also known as "Kanto", included the three provinces of Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang today. At that time, the Northeast region was a vast and fertile land, but due to various reasons, such as natural disasters and wars, the local population was sparse and the land resources were not fully developed.
The area west of Shanhaiguan, especially in North China, has a large population, barren land, and frequent natural and man-made disasters, and the people's lives are poor. Under these circumstances, in search of a better life, a large number of farmers, craftsmen, and merchants began their journey into the Kanto region.
The process of breaking through Kanto was full of hardships and difficulties. People need to cross mountains and rivers, face harsh natural environments and various dangers. Many have left their homes and loved ones to embark on a journey into the unknown.
With simple bags and hope for the future, they headed north and east. In the process, they had to endure hunger, cold, disease, and banditry. However, despite the difficulties, people have persevered because they believe that new opportunities and hope can be found in the Tohoku region.
The invasion of the eastern part of the country has had a profound impact on China's development. First of all, it has contributed to the development and prosperity of the Tohoku region. The influx of a large number of people has brought sufficient labor force and advanced production technology, which has led to the rapid development of agriculture, industry and commerce in Northeast China. Secondly, the Kanto region has also strengthened economic and cultural exchanges between the Tohoku region and the Kannai region.
People brought their hometown culture to Northeast China, and at the same time, they also absorbed the cultural characteristics of Northeast China and formed a unique regional culture. In addition, the Kanto region has also cultivated the tenacity and adaptability of the Chinese people. In a difficult environment, people constantly strive to overcome difficulties and create a better life for themselves and their families.
Nowadays, the Kanto region has become history, but the spiritual wealth it left behind is still worthy of our inheritance and development. It tells us that no matter how great the difficulties and challenges we face, as long as we have firm faith and courage, we can overcome everything. At the same time, it also reminds us to cherish our present life, work hard, and work hard to achieve our dreams and the prosperity of our country.
The invasion of the eastern part of China is a magnificent chapter in China's history, which bears witness to the courage and wisdom of the Chinese people. By understanding the history of the Kanto region, we can better understand China's past and learn valuable lessons from it. Let us remember this history, inherit the spirit of Kanto, and strive to create a better future.
