The annual Thanksgiving Day is coming. On this day when hundreds of millions of families in the United States are fragrant with turkeys, the festive atmosphere is of course extremely rich. This is a day of family reunion and the beginning of Christmas promotion. However, for some people, the hanging of Christmas decorations and the sound of silent night have caused sadness in their hearts. I remember the famous talk show host Lano once said on a Thanksgiving night, "Columbus discovered America hundreds of years ago, but now if he drives to new york, I'm afraid it's hard to find a parking space." . Although it is a joke, it is not sensational. Since the early Puritans landed in chesapeake bay, the changes in North America have been rapid and great. Manhattan, which was bought from Indians with a box of tools, now has immeasurable commercial value. Faced with the lost past and the totally alienated present, many Indians feel angry and unhappy. When looking for the reason of their national extinction, they turned their eyes to a young Indian girl, who is the famous pocahontas in American history. A few years ago, because Disney portrayed her as a hero in American history in one of its best-selling cartoons, Indian tribal leader Mad Malloy strongly protested and accused Disney of distorting and fabricating history to cater to the tastes of the audience. Luo Yi thinks she is a tragedy, while many Indians think she is a national sinner. What makes this girl who only lived for 2 1 year so controversial? 1607, in the thirty-fifth year of Ming Shenzong Wanli, on the other side of the globe, three mast ships of British Empire Virginia Company docked in chesapeake bay, Virginia. There are more than 100 people on board, who are sent by the company to develop and find wealth. The landing of white people made the old king of powhatan, a local Indian tribe, feel a little uneasy, but he tolerated it. Due to acclimatization and lack of food, most of the first British people who landed soon died. The cold winter in the New World seriously threatened the lives of all colonists. They had to rely on Indian corn to make a living, and it was this pocahontas who sent corn. She was only about eleven at that time. She is curious about some new things, such as white glass beads. She often brings some corn when she comes to play and slowly learns a few English words. Since then, she has played the role of an envoy between the Englishman and her father. The food she provided enabled the rest of the British to survive. Pocahontas not only provided a lot of food, but also went behind his father's back to tell on him, so that the grain search team led by Smith did not fall into the ambush circle set by his father. In this way, because the first group of people survived by luck, more British people came the next year. However, due to the incompetence of leaders and the harm of rats, more than 400 of the more than 500 people starved to death. According to historical records, a man's wife starved to death, and his husband preserved his wife's body and ate it slowly to survive. These dozens of colonists later escaped the arrival of British supply ships by exchanging food with Indians. Britain's first permanent colony in the New World has also stabilized. In order to make the old king powhatan submit, the new colonial leader kidnapped pocahontas by deception, arranged for her to be brainwashed in a priest's house, taught her English and religion, and finally baptized her, making her the first Indian to convert to Christianity in history. Because of kidnapping pocahontas, old powhatan got the boat, which created a peaceful situation to a certain extent and made this colony with unstable heels grow up. For the long-term benefit, the authorities also instigated a British tobacco grower to marry pocahontas and give birth to a son. A year later, the Governor returned to England with his family to show the colonial achievements of the New World, so as to attract more immigrants. This alien Indian princess caused a sensation in London society, and people rushed to watch this alien from the New World. Although pocahontas's successful stage in London has brought great benefits to the Virginia company, she also dug a grave for herself-because she didn't have European antibodies against lung disease and tuberculosis, she got sick. The alien princess, renamed Rebecca Ralph, had to be carried off a ship that set sail for the United States, and finally died in a coastal town called Graves San in England, where she was buried at the age of twenty-one. History does not allow assumptions, but looking back at history, many Indians think that it is very accidental that the early British took root in this land. Many people still believe that without pocahontas's help, Britain's first colony will end in fiasco, and Britain's plan for large-scale colonization in America will be cancelled or at least postponed. This is not unreasonable from the historical process we know today, because the Spanish in the south and the French in the north were competing with the British in America at that time. Without the corn brought by pocahontas and informers, the United States today would probably be a small country whose mother tongue is Spanish, French or German. In the seemingly ordinary 1607, the Wanli emperor here is still obsessed with the art of immortality, while the old king of powhatan on the other side is enjoying the life of a king with wives and concubines. However, historical reasons have been buried. For many noisy Malays full of thoughts of plunder and expansion, these two rich and vast countries are like two "fat sheep" in the wild, and it is only a matter of time before they are launched. Pocahontas was born in an unfortunate era, on the eve of an era of earth-shaking colonial expansion, and her status as a weak sheep doomed her tragic ending. May her soul rest in peace when the song of the silent night resounds through the night sky.
