Hello everyone, today we are going to talk about a historical story full of warmth and twists and turns. The protagonist of this story is a group of refugees who crossed the border from Vietnam and came to China.
At the end of the 70s, Vietnam was experiencing war and turmoil. Vietnam, which has deep historical ties with China, fell into deep suffering in that era. In order to escape the war and find a place to live, many Vietnamese chose to go to neighboring China.
Imagine how complicated these uprooted refugees must be when they set foot on Chinese soil. Fear, confusion, helplessness, and perhaps a glimmer of hope. But luckily, they met a country that was willing to lend a hand. China, the ancient country of the East, has shown its broad mind and deep sympathy.
We have provided these refugees with food, shelter, education, health care and other basic services. We help them rebuild their homes and rediscover the courage to live in this strange land. Over time, these refugees have adapted to Chinese culture and lifestyle. They learn Chinese, learn about Chinese history and culture, and live in harmony with local residents.
However, as Sino-Vietnamese relations gradually warmed, and China offered that they could return home, many refugees hesitated. They found themselves deeply in love with the land and the people. They have found a sense of belonging and a home in China. Some have even married and had children and are rooted in the land. They no longer want to return to their war-torn homeland, but want to stay in China and become real Chinese.
But the question of nationality is an insurmountable divide. In China, nationality is a precious status symbol that represents loyalty and a sense of belonging to the country. Therefore, we take the granting of citizenship very seriously. Although many refugees aspire to obtain Chinese nationality, their applications are often subject to a rigorous review process.
However, these refugees did not give up. They have proved their love and sense of belonging to China with their actions. They actively participate in community activities, strive to learn Chinese culture, and contribute to China's development. Their sincerity and dedication have touched many people, and they have gradually gained social recognition.
Some villages in Guangxi are still home to many former Vietnamese refugees. They live in harmony with the local people and share the joys and hardships of the land. They have become part of the Chinese people and have witnessed the history of friendly exchanges between the Chinese and Vietnamese peoples with their own stories.
This history is full of warmth and twists and turns. It allows us to see China's tolerance and atmosphere in the face of foreign refugees, and also shows us the refugees' desire to find a sense of belonging and home in a foreign country. This history teaches us that we can create a better future together if we treat each other with sincerity and respect, no matter where we come from. Let us remember this history and cherish our hard-won peace and friendship. Let us face everyone who comes to us with tolerance and understanding, and jointly create a world full of love and hope.
When these refugees first arrived in China, they were faced with a whole new world. With longing for their hometown and uncertainty about the future, they set foot on this strange land. However, the hospitality and selfless assistance of the Chinese people made them feel unprecedented warmth. From initial fear and confusion, to later gratitude and integration, their mindset has changed dramatically.
In China, they began to be exposed to different cultures and lifestyles. They learn Chinese, understand Chinese traditions and customs, and gradually integrate into this big family. They interacted with the locals, shared each other's stories, and forged strong friendships. This kind of cross-cultural exchange not only enriches their lives, but also gives them a deeper understanding of the breadth and profundity of Chinese culture.
However, the issue of nationality has always been a knot in their hearts. They aspire to become real Chinese, but the process is not easy. They need to prove their contribution and loyalty to China and pass a rigorous vetting process to obtain citizenship. In the process, they experienced many challenges and difficulties, but they never gave up on their dreams.
Over time, some refugees have managed to acquire Chinese citizenship. They became part of the Chinese and became more closely connected to the land. They repay the society with their own actions and contribute their own strength to China's development. Their stories inspire more people and give them hope and a future.
However, there are also many refugees who have chosen to stay in China, even though they have not yet acquired their citizenship. They have found their place and value here, creating a better life together with the locals. They became part of China's diverse culture, injecting new energy and creativity into the country. This history is not only a story of refugees, but also a story of inclusion, understanding and integration. It tells us that no matter where we come from, as long as we understand and accept each other with our hearts, we can create a harmonious and beautiful world together.
In this era of globalization, we are faced with more and more challenges and opportunities. We need to be more open and inclusive of people from different cultures and backgrounds. We need to eliminate misunderstandings and prejudices and enhance mutual understanding and friendship through dialogue and exchanges. Only in this way will we be able to meet the challenges of the future together and create a better future.
Looking back on this period of history, let us cherish peace and friendship even more. Let us face everyone with tolerance and understanding, and work together to create a world full of love and hope. No matter where we come from, we are all part of this world and should all contribute to the peace and development of this world.
