During the Spring Festival of 2016, I took my wife and 9-year-old son to Nha Trang, Vietnam. The warm tropical climate of Nha Trang in winter made us from the cold inland city of Chengdu really happy.
Soon, the holiday was over and we were ready to fly home.
When passing through the border inspection in Vietnam, there are a lot of Chinese, and the Spring Festival can be understood. But the Vietnamese border inspector couldn't understand it, and his face was full of unhappiness, as if he had just died of his eighteenth ancestor, and he was scolding and swearing.
Approaching, in the noisy voices, intermittently heard a few English words, my wife and I are not good at English, but these words can still be understood, "Chinese....stupid”。
When my wife heard this, she became angry, and when she opened her mouth, she scolded a standard Sichuan: "You are a batch of gua babies." ”
In the view of this Vietnamese border inspector, so many Chinese are not here to send them money or help them promote the economy, but to invade, plunder and consume their resources.
Actually, this kind of thinking is not the personal idea of this border inspector, it is the common idea of all Vietnamese.
In Vietnam's history textbooks, this northern power is described as follows:
After the Qin Dynasty unified China, it sent an army of 500,000 to invade the south, provoking the heroic resistance of the Yue people. The Qin Dynasty army invaded some territories of the people of various ethnic groups south of the Yangtze River, and established Fujian, Nanhai, Guilin, and Xiangjun. ”
In November 43 AD, Ma Yuan, known as General Fubo, marched to Jiuzhen through Chiao (Anmo, Ninh Binh Province) to suppress the rebels. Ma Yuan killed hundreds of leaders and thousands of volunteers, and our country lost its independence again. ”
At the end of the second century and the beginning of the third century A.D., there was a situation in the north in which the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu were in power. Our country is subordinate to the state of Wu. The feudal groups in the north were constantly vying for power and profit, which brought endless disasters to the people of Vietnam. ”
In 589 AD, the Sui Dynasty destroyed the Chen Dynasty and unified China. The Sui Dynasty conspiracy to re-establish a foreign feudal ruling regime in our country. At the beginning of 603 AD, the Sui Dynasty sent Liu Fang to lead the army to invade our country through the northwest, but our army failed. Our country fell into the rule of the Sui Dynasty again. ”
In 618, with the support of the landlords of North China, Li Yuan and his son ended the division and established the Tang Dynasty. Qiu He surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and was appointed as the governor of Jiaozhou. Since then, the rule of the Tang Dynasty in the territory of our country has been consolidated. Its methods of rule are even more cunning and vicious.
At the end of 1076 AD, the infantry and cavalry of the Song Dynasty crossed the border from many roads and invaded our country. In December 1287, the Yuan army invaded our country from three sides.
On November 19, 1406, the Ming army began to cross the border into our country. In this war of aggression, the war of resistance led by the Hu dynasty was quickly defeated. After more than five centuries of fighting for and maintaining independence, and having repeatedly defeated the powerful and brutal invading armies of the feudal dynasties of the north, the motherland was again under foreign rule. ”
At the end of 1788, the Qing Dynasty dispatched 200,000 combat troops, led by Sun Shiyi, the governor of Liangguang. In his edict to Sun Shiyi, Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty directly put forward a strategic policy, calling for making full use of China's internal contradictions to realize his aggressive ambitions. ”
In 1802, the reign of the Nguyen Dynasty, the last feudal dynasty in the history of Vietnam, began. The Nguyen Dynasty always maintained a blind subordination attitude towards the Manchu Dynasty, and the Nguyen Dynasty Emperor tried his best to imitate the "**** Because of this servile surrender consciousness, he asked the Qing Dynasty to change the name of the country to Nanyue, and regarded himself as the "princes" of the "**", just like the Nanyue of Zhao Tuo in the past, people could not see that this dynasty had any national solemnity and posture as the master of the country." (Excerpted from Sohu.com, author, history educator).
It is not difficult to see that the Vietnamese believe that their own history is a history of blood and tears against China's aggression, enslavement and colonization for more than 2,000 years.
Vietnamese people have been educated in this way since they had knowledge, and this idea is deeply ingrained in the head of every Vietnamese, and they have two words "hatred" deeply engraved on their brains.
Originally, I didn't know much about the history of Vietnam, which was once a big family of China, but after the popularization of Vietnamese history textbooks, I summarized it:
Qin Shi Huang sent Zhao Tuo to conquer Baiyue, and set up Minzhong County in Fujian to govern Fujian, Nanhai County in Guangdong to govern Guangdong, and Guilin and Xiang County in Guangxi to govern Guangxi and Vietnam, so from the Qin Dynasty, Vietnam is a part of China, just like the current Liangguang Yungui.
In the Han Dynasty, a separate Jiaozhi County was set up in Vietnam, and a small number of Vietnamese people rebelled and were wiped out by the Fubo general Ma Yuan, including the Three Kingdoms period, the Sui and Tang dynasties, and Vietnam was a county in China for thousands of years.
When the time came to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Vietnam, which was called Annam, was subordinate to the Southern Han regime in the Ten Kingdoms. The Vietnamese say, "Ngo Quan Zhen is a loyal and righteous person who has been passed down through the ages." Thanks to heroes like Wu Quan, our southern country can get rid of the shackles of the northern part of the country for a thousand years."
As for the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, in the past 1,000 years, although Annam was self-reliant and established several dynasties, it always paid tribute from generation to north, and became a veritable vassal state.
As a vassal state, if you are wronged, you will go to report to the suzerain, ask China to uphold justice, and if your father dies and takes your daughter-in-law, you will report to the suzerain, and ask China for blessings or something.
Once, there was a coup d'état in Vietnam and usurped power, and he did not report to Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Di noticed it, and sent troops to destroy Vietnam and set up Jiaozhi County.
The most humiliating thing for the Vietnamese is not that Zhu Di destroyed it, but what makes it feel most ashamed is that his name is taken by China, just like his son's name is the same as Lao Tzu's name, as long as this name is still in use, it is equivalent to announcing to the world at any time that I am the son of China.
But at that time, it was not a shame, but a glory, to be a son of China, to be given a name, it was a blessing that had been cultivated for several lifetimes. North Korea, which was named by Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, has been happy for hundreds of years.
During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, Vietnam wanted to change the problem of confusion in the names of Cochin, Annam, Jiu Zhen, etc., so it named itself "South Vietnam".
The report hit Emperor Jiaqing, Jiaqing thought, Vietnamese people don't understand culture, Nanyue is an ancient name, it contains too much content, you are a little Annam, the land of projectiles, how can it be called Nanyue, it is better to call it Vietnam.
Since then, Vietnam has officially had a fixed name, which has been used until now, and it has not been changed, because the name given by Emperor Jiaqing has been called for more than 200 years, and the whole world knows that if it is changed, it is afraid of causing misunderstanding, and there is no way, this shame has to continue.
That year, before I went to Nha Trang, I had never seen any of this, and I was happy to go with my yearning for the beautiful scenery of my friendly neighbor, but I was sad to go back, but for what happened below, what I thought was bad was nothing at all.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to help Vietnam oppose French colonization, strive for national independence, oppose US aggression, and realize the reunification of the motherland, New China provided assistance to Vietnam without reservation.
After the United States sent troops to invade Vietnam, China warned the Americans not to cross the 17th parallel, and throughout the Vietnam War, the Americans did not dare to cross the 17th parallel, not even bombs.
It's not that the Americans are obedient, but that they were scared by China in the Korean War. Don't underestimate this sentence, China is using the country to endorse North Vietnam.
Under such assurances, the North Vietnamese retreated north of the 17th parallel if they could not win the war, kicked their breath and sent a steady stream of troops to South Vietnam to continue fighting. How do you say the U.S. military will fight this war? The anxious United States could only withdraw its troops in the end, and as soon as the American troops left, North Vietnam immediately unified the whole of Vietnam.
It is said that if you take people short and eat people, you can not say good things, but you must not do bad things. This is not the case in Vietnam, adhering to the traditional educational spirit of being bullied by China for 2,000 years, Vietnam chooses to be the first overseas Chinese.
In 75 years, Vietnam was reunified, and in 76 years, it began to force the Chinese in Vietnam to give up their Chinese nationality and join the Vietnamese nationality, otherwise they would clean you up, and it was specially named "Purification Operation". A large number of overseas Chinese were driven away, and overseas Chinese worked hard abroad, accumulating a lot of assets, and in order to save their lives, they had to flee, and people left behind their money, so Vietnam made a windfall.
In the face of China, a former benefactor, Vietnam did not hesitate to choose to side with the Soviet Union and reached a treaty of friendship and cooperation with the Soviet Union, which Vietnam felt was a new type of mutual defense treaty.
At this time, Vietnam defeated the world's first military power, with the support of the world's second military power, and claimed to be the world's third military power.
to the west, to subjugate Laos, garrison, occupy Cambodia, garrison; to the north, encroaching on China's border lands, killing and wounding Chinese border residents; To the east, it invaded and occupied the islands of the South China Sea. Vietnam's mind was full of the "Federation of Indochina" when it established its French colonies, and it was full of illusions of becoming the hegemon of South Asia.
After Vietnam captured Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, Prince Sihanouk, the head of state of Cambodia, went to the United Nations in January 79 to complain about Vietnam. He first went to Beijing to ask Beijing for help from Cambodia in distress, and then went to the United Nations to expose the fact that Vietnam had invaded Cambodia.
In response to this aggression, which violated the rules of the global village, the United Nations filed a motion demanding that Vietnam withdraw its troops immediately, but the Soviet Union vetoed the motion with a veto.
There's no way, the United Nations doesn't care, the United States didn't win the war, it didn't dare to take care of it, and the Soviet Union didn't allow others to take care of it, so who else on this planet could take care of it?
China said, I'll take care of it.
During the Spring Festival in 1979, thousands of homes were lit up and firecrackers rang out. More than a month after the successful convening of the Third Plenary Session of the 11 th CPC Central Committee, the people of the whole country were still immersed in the spring breeze of reform that had just blown and were still immersed in the joy of family reunion.
In the early morning of 17 February, 10,000 artillery pieces were fired in unison, and the People's Liberation Army launched a self-defense counterattack against Vietnam from Yunnan and Guangxi, and as of 5 March, the PLA had conquered Lang Son, Cao Binh, Lao Cai and other important provincial cities in northern Vietnam and a large number of Vietnamese strongholds, with more than 50,000 Vietnamese casualties, and the PLA's artillery was mounted on the head of Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, just waiting for an order.
Hanoi panicked, hoping that the Soviet brother could send troops to Northeast China for the common defense agreed by both sides, but the Soviet Union did not dare to do it, but in order to cheer up the little brother, the Soviet Union still held a military exercise and parade on the Sino-Soviet border.
Seeing that the Soviet brothers could not count on it, Vietnam had to withdraw part of its garrison from Laos first, and also planned to withdraw its ace army from Cambodia. Just when Vietnam was panicking, it was suddenly surprised to find that the PLA not only did not attack, but also retreated in an orderly manner.
On March 5, 1979, China** issued a statement that the expected purpose of the self-defense and counter-attack operation had been achieved, and that the troops participating in the war began to withdraw from that day. He also reiterated: "We do not want an inch of Vietnam's land, and we will never allow others to encroach on our territory." "By 22:20 on March 15, the last military vehicle of the squadron returned to Chinese territory. On March 16, China announced the completion of the withdrawal of its troops, ending the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam.
The Vietnamese were puzzled, seeing that our capital was almost gone, and that they had to go back to the mountains to fight guerrillas.
In fact, Deng Gong told Vietnam what we were going to do at the beginning, who knew that these people didn't read books, didn't read newspapers, and didn't understand the words of the leaders.
Deng Gong said that it was just a spanking of your ass, since it was just a spanking, of course it would not kill you, this is our strategic goal, and when the strategic goal is achieved, we will naturally withdraw the troops, but on the way to withdraw the troops, we will take back the materials that were originally aided, and destroy what we can't take away.
In the following 10 years or so, the Sino-Vietnamese border had to fight a few planes every three or five times, and China's eight major military regions took turns to train troops with Vietnam, and Vietnam hoarded heavy troops on the border in order to prevent China.
China does not take Vietnam seriously at all, and takes care of its own reform and opening up, and the economy is growing rapidly, and the lives of ordinary people are getting better day by day. Vietnam has put China's major event on the day, and the whole people are preparing for war, always on guard, and the domestic economy has stagnated.
Vietnam, which had been spanked, did not sincerely accept the lesson, but on the contrary, anti-China sentiment was rising, and the sadness, depression, and pain accumulated over the past 2,000 years reached new heights.
In desperation, we can only turn our hatred of China into a thousand words, write them into textbooks, and start with children, so that every Vietnamese person can be full of deep hatred for their northern neighbor from the moment they are sensible.
If I can't kill you, I will hate you to death.
Finally, I was comfortable.
Therefore, the performance of the border inspector above is reasonable. Understanding the reasons behind their actions, I told myself that I could play wherever I wanted in the future, as long as I didn't go to Vietnam.
