A book that opens the mystery of the ancient OrientWhen Marco Polo traveled through China during the Yuan Dynasty, which lasted 17 years, his "Marco Polo's Travels" became a window for European powers to spy on the mysterious East.
At that time, China had porcelain, tea, silk and other treasures that other countries could not match, these were the luxuries that Western aristocrats coveted, and they were full of greedy desires for this mysterious ancient country of the East, like hungry beasts.
During the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He went to the West seven times,** including a large number of tea, porcelain, silk and other items that were very luxurious in the eyes of Westerners. This has pushed their greed to the limit.
However, at that time, the great power in the East was China, a big country that they did not dare to touch easily. They can only get what they crave most through tributary and diplomatic relations, through official channels.
Our country has always believed in Confucianism, emphasizing courtesy, and the emperor also gave many precious items. However, this has only fueled their ambitions and made them even more greedy, waiting for an opportunity to incorporate this land, which they consider "everywhere", into their territory.
The wheel of history is rolling forward, in the late sunny period, China's weakness and poverty, the decline of national strength, and the Western countries experienced the industrial revolution and greatly increased their strength. In this situation of great disparity in power, Western countries began to look to the mysterious East.
At first, they were just doing business, bringing their country's specialties and precious goods, hoping to make more money through the trade. However, they found that the country's aristocracy was the main consumers, while the common people were mostly self-sufficient and rarely traded with them.
Once, they came to this mysterious ancient oriental country with the dream of making a fortune, but the dream was shattered, and in order to seize the opportunity again, they chose "Fushou Cream" as a stepping stone.
This addictive, physically debilitating poison eventually pushed the country into the abyss, allowing countless gold and silver fortunes to be pulled back to their own country, and more gold diggers to set their sights on it.
During the Guangxu period, the people's life was difficult, and selling children and daughters had become the norm. The poorer the family, the more difficult it is for their children to survive, and in order to make ends meet, parents have to sell them.
In ancient China, the concept of preference for sons over daughters was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and many families often gave priority to their daughters when buying and selling their children, and some went to be maids or child daughters-in-law of large families, and some were sold to dark places. "
Fushou ointment"The emergence of the poor not only made the poor suffer more, but even the high-ranking officials and nobles were not spared, which eventually led to the destruction of the family. Some even use their power to extract money from the common people, while some ordinary people do it for the sake of purchasing"Fushou ointment", even at the expense of selling his son or wife.
In that dark era, the distortion of human nature was unimaginable, and it also made those foreigners who came to pan for gold smell business opportunities. For the girl of the late Qing Dynasty, she eventually became the plaything of the Kahn brothers.
The pair of businessmen from the United States, who had seen the huge profits brought by black slaves, set their sights on the land of the East. On the surface, they are serious businessmen, but secretly they are engaged in human trafficking.
They targeted the poor families, for them, the black hair, black eyes and yellow ** of the Oriental people were very different from what they had seen before, and the women of this land still maintained the tradition of the three-inch golden lotus, which made them feel extremely strange.
At that time, Westerners had extremely limited knowledge of Orientals, and they were especially curious about the small feet of Oriental women. It was this ignorance and curiosity that the Kahn brothers used a fake "show" as an excuse to deceive a petite and lovely girl with small golden lotus feet, and tricked her parents into signing a contract called a job but in fact selling a girl.
Their criminal acts are a desecration of humanity and a deep wound to the girl and her family.
The girl was ignorant and was forcibly taken onto a ship by her parents, and drifted to the United States with the expectation of the unknown. However, she was not greeted as expected"Fertile work", but the brutal reality of the Kahn brothers, who tore through her disguise and kept her in a cage for white people to see.
At that time, for only 50 cents, you could catch a glimpse of the petite and mysterious women of the East, which deeply attracted the Americans at that time, and everyone flocked to it.
Although the girl tried her best to resist, she was in a foreign country, facing the exploitation of two black-hearted businessmen, she was powerless to resist and could only reluctantly accept the reality. Her body was visited by the Americans, and even ridiculed as a deformed "golden lotus little foot".
Years later, when her "appreciation" vanished, she was swept away by the Kahn brothers. Even though she escaped from the clutches of the devil and was in a foreign land, she did not have any survival skills.
Only by virtue of his oriental appearance, he entered the circus and was still selling his body. Eventually, she disappeared into the foreign city and was never heard from again.
Ironically, in a country that advocates freedom and espouses equality, something has happened that goes against humanism. How ridiculous they are proud of their shame. Karma, their fig leaf was ripped off under the onslaught of democratic ideas.
Thankfully, in the era of poverty and weakness, people with lofty ideals led us to stand up from suffering and hold our heads high. We must bear in mind the scars of history, be vigilant against the lessons of history, and never repeat the mistakes of the past.
In order to preserve our culture that has been passed down for more than 5,000 years, and so that tragedies do not repeat themselves, we must build a stronger nation. The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is just around the corner.
