Recently, "Detective Chinatown 3" soared at the box office during the Spring Festival, which attracted widespread attention. The popularity of this movie is like the Spring Festival Gala, however, in addition to the popularity of the movie itself, the "Chinatown" theme behind it has also caused a lot of discussion.
"Chinatown" in the eyes of the Chinese
The concept of "Chinatown" mentioned in the film actually originated from the settlement of Chinese immigrants and refers to the overseas Chinese community. Despite the high profile of this concept, many people don't know much about the true meaning and history of "Chinatown".
Discover the historical origins of "Chinatown".
The first place to be called "Chinatown" originated in Japan, and its history can be traced back to the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. At that time, with the invasion of China's Eight Banner Army, many Chinese crossed the ocean to Japan in search of asylum. There, the Chinese were known as the "Tang people," a term derived from the profound influence of the Tang dynasty on Japanese culture.
The rise of "Chinatown" in the United States and the Chinese exclusion incident.
However, the country with the highest number of "Chinatowns" is the United States. At the end of the 19th century, with the influx of Cantonese people into the United States to pan for gold, they subsequently became cheap laborers to build railroads and work on farms. However, as Chinese immigrants gradually infiltrated all walks of life in the United States, it triggered the Chinese exclusion incident. Although these events have since subsided, the Chinese still took root in the United States, forming many famous "Chinatowns", especially San Francisco, which has a particularly high proportion of Chinese.
The distribution of "Chinatown" on a global scale.
With the development of the world, "Chinatowns" have also appeared in many countries and regions. In developed continents such as Europe, there are such Chinese settlements in many countries. However, not all countries have "Chinatowns", such as present-day Germany. Before World War II, there were "Chinatowns" in Germany, but with the outbreak of war, these Chinese settlements almost disappeared.
Russia's "Chinatown" encounter.
Another country without a "Chinatown" is Russia. Although Sino-Russian relations are good, there are no Chinese settlements in Russia, which reflects Russia's rejection of foreign groups. Russian immigrants have even said that they will not allow the creation of a "Chinatown", reflecting Russia's strong xenophobia and strong belief in local superiority and historical pride.
Russian nationalism and rejection of the outside world.
Russians think highly of themselves and have reservations about things and people outside the country, which is reflected in their working environment, education and social integration. There is a natural hostility towards foreign businessmen and students, especially against foreign ethnic groups such as blacks and Indians.
Epilogue. 
"Chinatown" is not only the subject of the film, but also a phenomenon involving history, immigration and cultural intermingling. Although the attitudes and existence of "Chinatown" vary from country to country, the cultural and social implications behind this phenomenon are worth delvinging**, and bring us an understanding and reflection on the diversity of the world.
Detective Chinatown 3 was a box office hit, bringing renewed attention to the "Chinatown" phenomenon. This article on the history of "Chinatown", its presence on a global scale, and its connection to national relations intrigued me.
First of all, the article delves into the historical origin of "Chinatown", pointing out that the earliest "Chinatown" originated in Japan and traced it back to the Chinese immigration wave in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. This way of digging deep into the historical context gave me a deeper understanding of the origins and evolution of "Chinatown", and gave me a clearer understanding of the concept.
Secondly, the article introduces the United States, as the country with the largest number of "Chinatowns", and the anti-Chinese incidents that emerged in the process of its formation. This has led me to think about the relationship between different cultures and immigrants, especially the challenges and integration processes experienced by the Chinese in history, which is a historical phenomenon worth pondering.
Then, the article also talks about the attitude of other countries around the world, such as European countries and Russia, towards "Chinatown". In particular, the explanation that there is no "Chinatown" in Russia reveals Russian nationalist sentiments and exclusion from foreign ethnic groups, which makes me think more about inter-state migration policies and cultural identity.
Overall, this article is not just a discussion of a film, but also a global cultural phenomenon, digging deep into the multiple meanings of the concept of "Chinatown". It provided an in-depth understanding of the interweaving of history, culture, and international relations, giving me a more comprehensive understanding of the subject.
