I. The Ripples of History: The Evolution of Sakhalin
Sakhalin Island, a mysterious place recorded in the ancient book "Classic of Mountains and Seas" of the pre-Qin period, witnessed the rise and fall of the Chinese nation. From the Tang Dynasty onwards, it successively became the territory of several dynasties. However, the course of history is always full of twists and turns. In 1858, Tsarist Russia took advantage of the fire and forced the Qing ** to sign the unequal "Sino-Russian Aihui Treaty" and ceded Sakhalin Island to **. Subsequently, Japan also coveted this treasure land, and after the Russo-Japanese War, the southern part of Sakhalin Island was occupied by Japan. After the end of World War II, the Soviet Union gained sovereignty over the southern part of Sakhalin Island, which it has been under its jurisdiction ever since.
