The feat of our fishermen shocked the world and directly crashed into Japan**, which shows the strength of fishing boats.
A brave and fearless seafarer, piloting a small fishing boat, confronts a huge ship with incomparable courage and strength far exceeding his
On September 7, 2010, the brave captain was threatened by the Japanese while fishing in the waters off the Diaoyu Islands, but he did not choose to dodge, but resolutely hit him head-on.
However, this move cost him 17 days of illegal detention by Japan.
Diaoyu Dao, a shining pearl embedded in the East China Sea, attracts countless explorers with its mysterious history and abundant resources. So, what exactly gave him such courage?
What kind of historical secrets are hidden behind it?If we want to raise these questions, we have to bring up the historical dispute over the Diaoyu Islands. Located about 70 nautical miles from the Ryukyus in Japan, the Diaoyu Islands are like a tranquil island that quietly guards the beautiful East China Sea.
In this area, the Diaoyu Islands are the main islands of the beautiful Diaoyu Islands, with a total area of about 7 square kilometers. It is a paradise for seabirds, and a large number of seabirds often inhabit here.
What's even more amazing is that the islands and sea areas around the Diaoyu Islands are rich in resources. The waters around the Diaoyu Islands are rich in fish resources, with a total of more than 3,000 species.
In addition, the natural gas reserves here also amount to 140,000 cubic meters. What's more, there is a lot of oil in the area, which gives the sea a lot of possibilities.
The historical disputes and abundant resources of the Diaoyu Islands are the source of his courage, let us explore this mysterious place together, to uncover its historical secrets, and feel its beauty and richness.
China's Diaoyu Islands are not only a strategic location, but also a valuable economic and military resource. The existence of Diaoyu Dao is of great strategic significance and economic interest to China.
As China's overall strength continues to grow and its position in the international community continues to solidify, the United States and Japan are feeling unprecedented pressure. Their greedy nature is stimulated by the great value of the Diaoyu Islands, and they are trying to weaken our country by joining forces to occupy the Diaoyu Islands.
The United States, on the other hand, fanned the flames and supported Japan's claim that the Diaoyu Islands are Japan's inherent territory. In the face of such provocations, we must take a firm stand and resolutely safeguard the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Diaoyu Dao.
The Diaoyu Islands have been Chinese territory since ancient times, and there are plenty of documents to prove this. It is an indisputable fact that the Diaoyu Islands were under Chinese administration long before the Sino-Japanese War of 1895.
During the Ming Dynasty, the earliest Chinese record of the Diaoyu Islands was recorded in the book "Sending the Wind Away", when Ryukyu was still an independent country and had no relationship with Japan.
Chen Kan, an envoy of the Ming Dynasty, recorded his journey to Ryukyu in the "Records of the Envoy to the Ryukyus", and he mentioned that he had to pass through many islands such as Pingjiashan, Diaoyu Island, Huangmaoyu Island, and Chiyu to reach Ryukyu, indicating that Diaoyu Island did not belong to Ryukyu at that time.
However, after the First Sino-Japanese War, the Qing Dynasty was defeated and was forced to sign the Treaty of Shimonoseki with Japan, ceding Taiwan and its affiliated islands, including the Diaoyu Islands, thus allowing Japan to temporarily gain sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands.
In 1943, when World War II was at the dawn of World War II, the Cairo Declaration signed by China with Britain and the United States clearly stipulated that Japan must return the Diaoyu Islands and other Chinese territories after its defeat in World War II.
Although Japan tried to steal the islands, after the defeat of the war, they were returned as promised.
However, Japan's greed for the Diaoyu Islands never stopped, and they made many attempts to erase Japan's sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands in the following decades. In the 70s of the 20th century, they set up markers in the places where Chinese fishermen normally fished, and also sent fleets to drive them away.
Later, in order to better control China, the United States went so far as to disregard China's wishes and privately trade with Japan to include the Diaoyu Islands in the Ryukyus and hand them over to Japan.
Japan has once again illegally occupied the Diaoyu Islands, not only claiming them as Japanese territory, but also causing serious disruption to the livelihood of fishermen along China's coast. This provocative act of Japan and the United States against China's sovereignty has aroused the anger of all Chinese.
Our country strongly opposes this and has been fighting against Japan for many years. In the face of provocations from other countries, you may wonder, will you choose to endure humiliation, or stand up for the interests of your country?
You will firmly say that as a Chinese, you will certainly choose to put the interests of the country first.
Zhan Qixiong's behavior tells us that even if we face the severe test of life and death, as long as we have a firm heart, we can face it bravely. He was born in 1969 in Fujian, China, to a poor family that had to shoulder the burden of the family from an early age.
Although his life was full of difficulties, he never gave up and interpreted the indomitable spirit with his actions. When his fishing boat was threatened, he chose to rush forward, even when he was in danger, he did not hesitate.
It was his choice and his courage. His story teaches us that no matter what difficulties we face, as long as we have determination and courage, we can overcome them.
Zhan Qixiong, a man who has been fishing at sea since he was a teenager. He was tenacious, loved to learn, and went through hardships to rise from an ordinary crew member to a captain. He is very concerned about his family and always spends most of his time with them.
Growing up, he was always kind and respectful, and although he was a little impatient at times, he was always kind, polite, and respectful.
In the eyes of his neighbors, he was a man worthy of respect.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this integrity, affection and enthusiasm that Zhan Qixiong has been given such determination and courage. At the time of the incident, it was September 7, 2010, and Zhan Qixiong and his crew sailed to the waters of the Diaoyu Islands to conduct fishing operations as usual.
At this time, Zhan Qixiong noticed that a ship was heading in their direction. As the distance between the two ships got closer and closer, and the appearance of the other ship's came into his sight, Zhan Qixiong couldn't help but gasp.
This turned out to be a Japanese **! The Japanese flag fluttering on it is particularly eye-catching.
In the face of the Japanese Coast Guard's patrol boats, which are far more powerful than his own, Zhan Qixiong's fishing boat with a displacement of only 166 tons looks insignificant. Not only is the tonnage of the ships and the number of crews far behind the other side, but more importantly, they are heavily armed and carry a large amount of munitions**.
In order to protect the safety of the crew, Zhan Qixiong made a difficult decision to leave. However, the Japan Coast Guard patrol ship did not give up because of this, but followed closely behind, loudly demanding their departure through the radio.
Faced with this situation, Zhan Qixiong frowned, thinking about how to deal with the challenges in front of him.
Zhan Qixiong is deeply aware of the long-standing dispute between Japan and China. In the early years, it was not uncommon for Japan to frequently drive away Chinese fishermen in the waters of the Diaoyu Islands.
Coastal fishermen were dissatisfied with this, but they were afraid of Japan's strength and had to swallow their anger. He is well aware that these provocations stem from the Japanese trying to incorporate the Diaoyu Islands, a piece of Chinese territory, into their territory, so they have recklessly driven away our fishing boats here in order to strengthen their control over the area.
Thinking of this, Zhan Qixiong's enthusiasm and feelings for his family and country came to his heart. How can I make sense that I am fishing on the territory of China and being driven away by other countries?
Zhan Qixiong did not flinch, but rushed towards the huge **, and the Japanese crew on the opposite side was shocked. With his meager strength, he challenged the giant ship, like hitting a stone with an egg and blocking the car with his mantis arm, but his courage and fearlessness made them feel a trace of fear.
Although this suicide collision did not build **people**, it brought losses to **, and both ** ships were damaged to varying degrees.
Zhan Qixiong, the captain of a Chinese fishing boat, was forcibly taken away by a Japanese patrol ship. They claimed that Zhan Qixiong's fishing boat was suspected of violating the Fisheries Law and took him to Ishigaki Port in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, on the grounds of obstructing official business.
Despite being handcuffed and masked, Zhan Qixiong resolutely did not bow his head, firmly believing that the Diaoyu Islands were Chinese territory and that he would not recognize Japan's claim for fear of imprisonment.
Zhan Qixiong was fearless and resolutely resisted. He knew that once he confessed to his crimes, he would bear the infamy of the Chinese nation through the ages. As a result, Zhan Qixiong was held until the expiration of his 10-day detention period.
In the face of this unwavering and iron-clad Chinese man, the Japanese side had no choice but to apply for an extension of the detention period again. This extension resulted in his detention from 8 September to 25 September.
However, after Zhan Qixiong was detained, China never gave up on rescuing him.
Zhan Qixiong was detained, and the news instantly spread all over the world and shocked people's hearts. Our side immediately came forward and made solemn representations to demand that the Japanese side immediately release the human ship. Because this matter is not only related to the safety of Zhan Qixiong and the 14 crew members, but also involves the sovereignty of our country.
China and Japan have continued to dispute over the Diaoyu Islands, and Japan's behavior has further tense the situation and further deteriorated relations. China expresses its strong support for the illegal seizure by the Japanese side.
Diaoyu Dao and its affiliated islands are China's inherent territory and brook no violation. However, it is completely unreasonable for Japan to send patrol ships to run rampant in our territorial waters and drive away our fishermen.
Japan's so-called "law enforcement" behavior is even more unreasonable. Japan has also taken a very tough stance and has tried to characterize the matter as having to be dealt with in accordance with Japan's domestic law. Although Japan released the 14 Chinese crew members who were illegally detained on the 7th on the morning of September 13, Japan still refused to release Zhan Qixiong, and even extended his detention time by 10 days, which further aggravated the tension.
During this period of time, Zhan Qixiong's wife washed her face with tears every day, and his elderly grandmother, after hearing the news that Zhan Qixiong was detained by Japan, the old man who was already sick in bed finally died of worry.
Zhan Qixiong's "earth-shattering" collision made him lose his loved ones. Japan's irrational behavior aroused the anger of the people of the whole country, and Zhan Qixiong's experience ignited the patriotic enthusiasm of the people of the whole country.
We have also taken a series of immediate actions. Our country has postponed the planned visit to Japan by the National People's Congress delegation and has repeatedly urged Japan to release our captain.
In addition, we have suspended a series of negotiations and diplomatic activities with Japan. Economic** and cultural cooperation was also suspended.
Our country has a firm position and will never give in to the bottom line. If Japan insists on going its own way until September 25, under pressure, Japan releases Zhan Qixiong, and although it retains the right to punish, the crisis has been alleviated.
However, Japan was brazen and repeatedly demanded 840,000 yuan in compensation for Zhan Qixiong's damages, but we categorically refused, and its behavior of jumping off the beam clown was laughable.
After 17 days of detention, Zhan Qixiong finally returned to the embrace of the motherland. Accompanied by *** staff, he returned to his homeland on a domestic charter flight.
When he set foot on the land of his motherland, he was greeted with a warm welcome and applause. Zhan Qixiong's behavior touched the world and was even hailed as a "national hero". His perseverance and bravery make us very proud.
Zhan Qixiong's actions inspired the courage of thousands of fishermen in the area, and the brutal behavior of the Japanese aroused deep patriotic feelings. Fishermen along the coast unanimously believe that the Diaoyu Islands have been an inherent territory of our country since ancient times, and that we will not give in to fishing there.
Zhan Qixiong, a son and daughter of the Chinese nation, did not choose to retreat in the face of Japan's aggression and provocation against China's territory, but in an incomparably heroic way, he demonstrated to the world the indomitable spirit of the Chinese nation and declared to the world our determination to defend our territorial sovereignty to the death.
He is the great epitome of every patriot of this era. When national interests and national dignity are threatened and provoked, every son and daughter of China will not stand idly by.
It is precisely with the thousands of such sons and daughters of China that our country can have today's prosperity and have enough confidence to resolutely safeguard our rights and interests.
Japan has always tried to stir up disputes and violate our sovereignty, and their ambitions cannot be ignored. Diaoyu Dao has been China's inherent territory since ancient times and brooks no encroachment by any country.
No matter what actions Japan takes, no matter how many difficulties lie ahead, we will not be able to stop the pace of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, nor will we be able to resist the deep patriotic feelings of our Chinese sons and daughters.
This spirit and enthusiasm will be a powerful driving force for the development of our country.
