History of Cuye Island
Sakhalin Island, the largest island in China, is located in the east of Heilongjiang estuary, facing the Sea of Okhotsk in the east and north, and facing the mainland across tatar strait in the west. South of Zonggu Strait borders Japan. It is 984 kilometers long from north to south and 6- 160 kilometers wide from east to west, covering an area of 76,400 km2, which is equivalent to two islands in Taiwan Province Province! ! !

Sakhalin Island has been the territory of China since ancient times, and China was the first to know Sakhalin Island in the world. Sakhalin Island has been under the jurisdiction of Jin since the Jin Dynasty in China. Later, it was successively under the jurisdiction of Yuan, Ming, Houjin and Qing. Even in 1689, the Sino-Russian Nebuchadnezzar Chu Treaty stipulated that the areas north of Heilongjiang and east of Wusuli River, including Sakhalin Island, were all the territory of China!

1840 After the Opium War, Russia used China to decline the Qing Dynasty. After forcing China to sign the Sino-Russian Love-Faint Treaty, it forced China to sign the Beijing Treaty on the pretext of mediating the Second Opium War between China and Britain, and ceded to Russia the territory of * * * 1 10,000 km2 north of Heilongjiang and east of Wusuli River, including Sakhalin Island! The beautiful mountains and rivers in the northeast of China, the largest island in China, have since fallen into the mouth of polar bears!

The aborigines on the island are the Hezhe people of Xianbei nationality, who make a living by fishing and hunting on the island. Because of their hard life, people called them "Kuyi" in Ming Dynasty, and called the island "Kuyi Island", which was later changed to "Sakhalin Island". According to the "San Wu Ji", as early as 16 16, China sent 400 troops to patrol the island, but they withdrew because there was no external threat.

Sakhalin Island is dominated by vast plains, with large areas of forests and grasslands. Coal, oil, natural gas and other resources are abundant. There is a world-famous fishing ground nearby.

Greedy Russia thinks Sakhalin Island is a good base for them to set foot in the Pacific Ocean and has long wanted to occupy it. From the beginning of18th century, they secretly sent an expedition composed of soldiers and prisoners to attack Sakhalin Island. First, they invaded the north, * * * our Hezhe compatriots, built camps, mined coal mines, and established the basis for occupying the whole island. By 1789, all Ku islands were finally occupied, and the Hezhe compatriots on the island were killed, and the rest were forced to return to the mainland. Russians built halls, churches, prisons and schools in the mother-child park. While the Russian invaders invaded the southern part of Kudao, the Japanese government sent Gan Fan Matsui and Nobuka to spy on the island. When the Russian invaders invaded the south, they asked Japan and Russia to share the spoils, and the two countries made ridiculous representations. By 1875, the Russian emperor generously gave the Kuril Islands to Japan, and Japan no longer claimed the rights on Sakhalin Island. The Russian emperor annexed the rich coal and oil mines on Sakhalin Island. But after the Russo-Japanese War, Japan finally got half of Sakhalin Island south of 50 degrees north latitude. After World War II, the Russian emperor took it back. Imperialism stole our Sakhalin Island, took it from here and absorbed resources from there, which is a great irony to us!

/kloc-At the end of 0/8, Japan and Russia successively occupied Sakhalin Island. In the south occupied by Japan, it is called Huatai Island. According to northern Russia, it is called Sakhalin Island (); But the residents of the island still paid tribute to the local government of the Qing Dynasty. 1855 (the fifth year of Xianfeng), Russia and Japan signed the Shimoda Treaty, which stipulated that the two countries would remain unchanged on Sakhalin Island. 1860, Russia forced the Qing government to sign the Beijing Treaty, and the area east of the Wusuli River, including Sakhalin Island, was occupied by Russia. 1875 (the first year of Guangxu), Russia and Japan signed the "Thousand Islands Exchange Treaty of Sakhalin Island", and Russia occupied the southern part of Sakhalin Island in exchange for 18 of the Thousand Islands, and the whole island was monopolized by Russia. 1905 After the Russo-Japanese War, according to the Portsmouth Peace Treaty, the south (south of 50 north latitude) was returned to Japan. 1945 After World War II, it was returned to the Soviet Union according to the decisions of the Crimean Conference and the Potsdam Conference.

Everyone is responsible for the prosperity of the country. Although the lost land in the north is still in Russia's hands, it will turn around and arrive at my home tomorrow. As long as we have a firm belief, Sakhalin Island will come back one day.
