In the 70s of the last century, 200,000 refugees from one country fled to China to seek asylum, and later they all offered to become Chinese citizens, eager to become Chinese citizens forever.
This country is Vietnam, and when it comes to Sino-Vietnamese relations, we have to start with the Qin Dynasty.
In 214 B.C., Qin Shi Huang conquered Bai Viet, and the northern part of Vietnam was one of the Bai Viet places.
For more than 1,000 years between the Qin Dynasty and the "Battle of the Bai Teng River" of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the central and northern parts of Vietnam were the territory of our country.
Our monarch changed the name of Vietnam many times, and the Dinh Dynasty was established in 968 and officially became independent, but it was still a vassal state of our country.
During the Gia Thanh period, the rulers of the Nguyen Dynasty sent envoys to the Qing Dynasty, the suzerain, to request the re-canonization of the state title, and the Gia Thanh Emperor designated the Nguyen state name as "Vietnam".
In the 19th century, the French invaded Vietnam, and Vietnam became a French colony.
Later, France was forced to leave, the south was still supported by France, and Vietnam was always in a state of **.
In 1968, the United States sent troops to invade South Vietnam, and North Vietnam sent the People's Army to fight with the South military and civilians.
The Vietnam War, which lasted for more than a decade, resulted in the loss of lives, the destruction of property, the displacement of countless people, and the misery of countless people.
In order to survive, millions of Vietnamese have chosen to leave their homeland and flee abroad as refugees.
200,000 refugees have fled to China to seek asylum.
In the face of the influx of Vietnamese refugees, *** instructed at that time: "Be friendly and helpful to them." ”
We have set up more than 100 refugee shelters at the border for these refugees, who are resettled in small groups according to their status and language, and are provided with accommodation, food and medical care.
With the humanitarian care of our country, the refugees have been spared the suffering of war and have returned to a normal life.
In the beginning, we hoped that the refugees would return to their home countries after a few years of stay, but the Vietnam War was not over for a long time, so they had to stay in China.
Refugees have been living in shelters for a long time and are beginning to yearn for a freer life, and some have moved out of the shelters to work in our businesses, farming in the countryside, and their children to attend local schools.
After a long time, the life of the refugees in our country has become more and more hopeful, and their children have grown up in our country, married the local residents, and gave birth to their own children.
The Vietnam War has been over for many years, but the refugees do not want to return to their country at all, compared to Vietnam, our country is stable and the economy is developing rapidly, and here they have a better future.
Later, for the sake of their future development, these refugees became more and more eager to become Chinese nationals.
After becoming a Chinese citizen, they can enjoy China's pension, medical care, education and other guarantees, which are important for themselves and the development of the next generation.
However, China is very cautious about this request, because nationality is directly related to national interests and needs to be treated with caution, so it has only approved the application of a small number of refugees whose identity is clear and will not affect social stability to join our nationality.
Although it is very difficult to become a Chinese citizen, most Vietnamese refugees living in China are eager to become Chinese nationality, and they have become Xi to a stable and stable life in China, and they cannot imagine whether their life will be stable after leaving China.
In the 70s of the last century, more than 200,000 Vietnamese refugees were sheltered by our country, reflecting our humanitarian spirit and showing the world our country's bearing as a great power.
There are still a large number of refugees in the world, and I hope that the Vietnamese refugee incident can enlighten us, and I hope that the world will be peaceful and healthy.
