China's ethnic minorities, heroes of the Anti-Japanese War, now belong to China
Since the late Qing Dynasty, China has been bullied by foreign powers and has lost a large amount of territory and population. However, this painful experience also brought rare opportunities. In the midst of these opportunities, China was given the opportunity to admit foreign peoples, thus forming the only officially foreign people who were admitted.
Although it originated in the late Qing Dynasty, it has maintained a momentum of continuous development during the late Qing Dynasty to **. Eventually, after the founding of New China, it was officially incorporated into a nation.
As an accepted foreign nation, in addition to its historical origins, more importantly, it made important contributions during the Anti-Japanese War. It not only stubbornly resisted the invasion of the Japanese army, but also dealt a heavy blow to the invaders.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, it was widely reported and had an impact on every Chinese. So, what exactly is this nation? Why was it able to make such an important contribution during the Anti-Japanese War?
In the late Qing Dynasty, although China had a brief period of Zhongxing, it was defeated by Japan in the First Sino-Japanese War and fell into a situation of slaughter again. The Russian Empire was the most active in the frenzied encroachment on China, alleviating its internal contradictions through continued external expansion.
After setbacks in European expansion, the Russian Empire turned its attention to East Asia, first invading the Qing Dynasty, while also occupying Northeast China and Xinjiang by force, and planning to establish new colonies.
With the implementation of the Russian immigration policy, a large number of Russians emigrated to China and began to live.
After the end of the war between the Soviet Red Army and the White Bandits, a large number of White Bandit troops poured into the Chinese border. Although China had the right to expel them, there was not enough energy to deal with the matter because it was a time of warlord warfare, which led these invaders to take root in China.
As time passed, more and more Russians settled in China, forming an alien ethnic group - ethnic Russians. However, this ethnic group was not officially recognized during the ** period, because the colonial history in the northeast is still unforgettable, and at the same time, a large number of Russian architectural and cultural traces have left a shadow in China's northeast and Xinjiang, which made the intellectuals at the time think that this was a manifestation of the weakness and incompetence of the Qing **, so they have always had an attitude of rejection towards the Russian ethnic group.
To make matters worse, the Soviet Union did not provide any help to these compatriots who had been displaced to China, forcing them to settle in China.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, China accepted an alien ethnic group, the Russians, a decisive event that stemmed from the Japanese invasion of Northeast China. However, ethnic Russians in the Northeast were not just passively invaded, they chose to stand up bravely against the atrocities of the Japanese army.
During the 14 years of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, ethnic Russians made touching contributions, and their courage and determination won the final victory for China. However, in the early days of the war, these supplies could not be fully utilized because most of the supplies were written in Russian and there were no professional translators.
Under these circumstances, ethnic Russians in China stepped forward and took on the role of Russian translators, making an indelible contribution to the war of resistance.
China raised the question of whether to recognize ethnic Russians as a formal minority after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, but the plan was shelved due to the outbreak of civil war. It was not until after the founding of the People's Republic of China that the Russian ethnic group was officially recognized as an official minority in China after the historical study of the party organization, thus truly integrating into China.
During the economic construction of New China, especially during the construction of Xinjiang, ethnic Russians can also be seen. Although the integration of ethnic Russians into China is only 100 years old, it can be seen that this is a testament to China's strong inclusiveness.
3. Conclusion: Although ethnic Russians played the role of aggressors in the late Qing Dynasty, over time they chose to integrate into the Chinese family. During the Anti-Japanese War, they actively contributed, and during the economic construction of New China, they devoted themselves to the wave of China's economic construction.
This positive attitude towards integration has enabled ethnic Russians to smoothly become part of the Chinese family.
