A group of villagers in the next village, chased and killed by the village tyrants, have no way out, all the neighboring villages refuse to take them in, there is a village called "China", they have been kind and tolerant for thousands of years, and they did not need any visas to take them in. As a result, they lived in what is now Shanghai, and Lane 138 of Changyang Road is one of the largest settlements for this group of escapees. The group of villagers who fled for their lives were called "Jewish refugees" and numbered more than 20,000 people.
As for why Jews are generally unpopular and hated in Europe, there are three main reasons:
Religious conflict: Europeans predominantly practiced ** religion, while Jews practiced Judaism. There is a fundamental conflict of doctrines between the two, especially the idea of whether Jesus is the Messiah, leading to long-term contradictions and conflicts.
Economic factors: Jews are known for their high intelligence and emotional intelligence, and they are good at business, which has influenced the economic landscape of Europe to some extent. This rivalry led to hostility towards Jews among some.
Historical background: Historically, there have been many ** events against Jews in Europe, such as the Roman Empire**, the witch hunt in the Middle Ages, and the Great ** of Nazi Germany. These events deepened the negative impression of Jews.
Cultural differences: Jews have their own unique culture and traditions, such as Sunday sabbath habits, circumcision rituals, etc., which are quite different from the mainstream European culture, which may cause some people to resentment and rejection.
If we talk about refugees, then comparing the refugees in Gaza in Palestine today, whether from their bright hair, clothes, or delicate luggage, and the calm steps of getting off the boat and stepping into Shanghai Tang, it is difficult to imagine that the word "refugees" is associated with this group of Jews who fled for their lives.
Everyone called the area around Changyang Road, where Jews lived to escape the disaster, a refugee shelter. It seems that the word "shelter" is closer to the truth, while "containment" seems to be contained after being arrested, which is more like treating them badly, and even more inappropriate.
Because this group of Jews in Shanghai was widely tolerated, treated kindly, and helped by the citizens, they lived a leisurely and contented life. From the historical materials in the nearby Jewish Refugees Memorial Hall, we know that in fact, they have their own shops, studies, newspapers, hospitals, and places of religious activities in Shanghai where they can do business freely, and they live a good life, just like a country within a country, which is not "difficult" at all. Not to mention, before the liberation, there were thousands of more toiling people outside Shanghai. It was only in 1943 that the Japanese adopted the Nazi policy and drove many Jews who fled to Shanghai to Hongkou District and set up a quarantine area. Without a permit, Jewish refugees could not go to school, work, or earn a living, and the conditions in which the quarantined Jewish refugees lived were very harsh. However, the Chinese people often formed various organizations, evaded the guards, and secretly delivered all kinds of supplies and medicines to the Jewish people.
On the other hand, the treatment of Chinese overseas is at most an open "Chinatown", which can only have restaurants that serve others, no religious temples of their own, and no hospitals of their own.
Walking into Lane 138 of Changyang Road, looking at the largest shelter for Jewish refugees in the past, thinking about the sound of guns and cannons in Gaza, Palestine, I feel that this is the "paradise" of these refugees back then, and these refugees think that they are God's chosen people, and they are superior to the common nation.
What you don't know, however, is how these God's chosen people, the more than 20,000 Jewish refugees, really felt about this life. Years later, it was only in the investigation and interviews that they found that they were dissatisfied with the fleeing life in Shanghai and were not grateful.
Carter's finance secretary, Blumensar, was interviewed in a standard answer, saying that the life of refugees in Shanghai was temporary, because it was poor, dirty, and without a legal system, full of corruption, and beggars dying on the streets.
* The newspaper "West Wind Supplement" once published an article titled "Jewish Refugees in Shanghai". The article revealed: The real reason for the influx of Jewish refugees in Shanghai was that Shanghai did not check passports at that time. The article also said that most of the Jewish refugees were not satisfied with their settlement in Shanghai. They generally feel that they have been weathered and in danger, and they also feel that their living conditions in Shanghai are really poor. As a result, 90% of people do not want to establish a permanent family in Shanghai.
If you think about the chaos in Palestine, when the Palestinian people took in the Jews, and look at the tragedy now, people think of the story of the "farmer and the snake."
Fortunately, the "Fugu Project", which was conspired by the Japanese to plot the establishment of a Jewish state in Northeast China, did not succeed in the end.
Look at it again, now the penetration of Jewish capital forces in all fields such as the global military, economy, industry, finance, education, medical care, etc., including the United States** system, is everywhere, just like viruses and bacteria.
"Judea" is no longer the name of a nation or a religion, but a group, a club, a consortium, a symbol, a force...The logic behind it is ruthless interest first, no matter how benevolent and moral it is disguised on the surface.
Of course, we can't generalize, and here Jew, not all Jews in the traditional sense, any race or group of people, both good and bad. We cannot deny that there are many great contributions that have historically been defined as "Jews".
However, the truth of history cannot be erased, and only by examining history objectively and calmly can we face up to reality and look forward to the future.
Let's look back to reality, more than 80 years have passed, most of the residents here still have not kept up with the pace of the times, still like "refugees", living without a private bathroom, they are the real needs of the ** and social help group. Fortunately, I heard that since 2021, some residents have moved one after another, and I don't know if the society or ** has planned to live in an improved environment.
