The history of Hong Kong being ceded

January 26, 1841: After the First Opium War, the British occupied Hong Kong Island. Afterwards, the Qing Dynasty tried to regain it by force, and Emperor Daoguang launched an attack on it. Many edicts were issued, but the Qing Dynasty was never able to defend its territorial integrity.

August 29, 1842: The Qing Dynasty signed the unequal Treaty of Nanjing with Britain and ceded Hong Kong Island to Britain.

October 24, 1860: China and Britain signed the unequal Treaty of Beijing, ceding the area south of Boundary Street on the Kowloon Peninsula to Britain.

June 9, 1898: The British forced the Qing Dynasty to sign the "Special Treaty for the Expansion of Hong Kong Boundary Sites" and leased 262 areas north of Boundary Street on the Kowloon Peninsula and nearby Island, lease term is 99 years (ends on June 30, 1997).

December 25, 1942: During World War II, the Japanese army invaded Hong Kong. The British troops stationed in Hong Kong were unable to resist. The then Governor of Hong Kong, Yang Muqi, reluctantly announced his surrender. Hong Kong was occupied by Japan, beginning the "Japanese Occupation Period" of three years and eight months. 3. The history of Hong Kong being ceded

The history of humiliation 1. The Opium War Britain has long coveted China, a piece of fat meat.

In 1773, Britain began the opium trade with China and became the largest opium trafficker. British opium dealers continued to import opium into China, which suddenly plunged China into a quagmire of serious disasters. Silver flowed out of China, causing a serious financial crisis for the Qing government. The result of the outflow of silver was that the people were even more miserable.

Industry and commerce are generally depressed and declining, and opium has spread in China. Regarding this, the patriot Wei Yuan at that time said angrily in the book "Hai Guo Tu Zhi"; "The opium and poison have spread for China." "A disaster that has not happened in three thousand years." The smoke of opium caused by the British plundering of China in 1839 directly threatened the survival of the Chinese nation.

At this time, the "strict prohibition faction" (anti-smoking faction) represented by Lin Zexu, a famous patriot and national hero in modern Chinese history, waved the sword of China and launched a resolute struggle against the British invaders, leading The anti-smoking movement shocked the world. In March 1839, Lin Zexu arrived in Guangzhou as an imperial envoy to investigate and deal with opium.

On June 3, 1839, Lin Zexu came to Humen Beach near Guangzhou and ordered that all the seized opium be destroyed in public. The elimination of opium in Humen showed to the world the Chinese people's determination to ban opium and the strong will to resist foreign invaders.

Lin Zexu’s feat of eradicating opium in Humen was supported by all those who uphold justice in the world. For example, a British man wrote in his book "On the Sins of the Opium Trade in China" that he accused British businessmen of "The opium trade has brought great insult to the British flag", and British opium dealers and industrial capitalists were unwilling to fail and stepped up their activities to urge the British Communist Party to launch a war of aggression against China. In June, 48 ships equipped with 540 cannons, carrying an "expeditionary force" composed of 4,000 soldiers, arrived in the sea of ??Guangdong and blocked the Pearl River Estuary.

As a result, the Opium War, which had been planned by the British bourgeoisie for a long time and was aimed at opening the door to China and seeking the greatest benefits for Britain in China, finally broke out. On July 6, Dinghai, the main city of Zhoushan Islands, was captured.

When he invaded Dagu again in the north, Emperor Daoguang sent the cowardly and incompetent bureaucrat Qishan to Guangzhou to negotiate peace with the British army. . In January 1841, the British army occupied Hong Kong Island by force, captured Humen in February, and invaded Guangzhou in May.

In 1842, Britain further expanded its war of aggression against China and successively captured Xiamen, Dinghai, Ningbo, Wusong, and Zhenjiang. On August 29 of the same year, the Qing government and Britain signed the Treaty of Nanjing, the first unequal treaty in modern Chinese history, in Nanjing.

2. The cession of Hong Kong. Britain occupied our territory Hong Kong Island in accordance with the Treaty of Nanjing. The British occupation of Hong Kong Island destroyed China's territorial integrity.

The British purpose is to attempt to control China militarily and economically. In October 1860, the British and French forces invaded Beijing and burned Yuanmingyuan.

The Qing Dynasty was forced to accept all the invaders' demands and signed the "Treaty of Beijing" on October 24. In this way, the British occupied the land south of present-day Boundary Street on the Kowloon Peninsula, as well as Stonecutters Island, a large island in the west of the Kowloon Peninsula.

This enabled the British to further consolidate and strengthen Hong Kong, the base for the invasion of China. After the British invaded the southern part of the Kowloon Peninsula, they soon attempted to occupy the entire Kowloon Peninsula and its nearby islands and waters.

On June 9, 1898, Premier Li Keqiang of the Qing Dynasty and the United Kingdom signed the "Special Treaty on Expanding the Boundary Site of Hong Kong" in Beijing. According to the agreement, the Qing Dynasty leased the land south of the Shenzhen River and north of the Kowloon Peninsula Boundary Street, as well as nearby islands, to the United Kingdom for a period of 99 years.

This land leased to the British later became known as the New Territories of Hong Kong. To this end, Britain achieved its occupation of the territory of Hong Kong, China, through barbaric conquest with bayonets, foreign guns and cannons.

3. The establishment of the British colonial rule in Hong Kong was an important part of the British colonial rule in Hong Kong. On June 26, 1843, the British took advantage of the exchange of letters of the Treaty of Nanjing to announce that the Hong Kong was a "direct colony" of the United Kingdom, and Pottinger was appointed as the first Governor of Hong Kong. The British Hong Kong *** was established.

The Governor of Hong Kong, also known as the Governor of Hong Kong, is the person who assumes the highest responsibilities among the British government in Hong Kong.

According to the "Emperor's Charter", the basic law of British colonial rule over Hong Kong, the Emperor is the supreme ruler of Hong Kong, and the Governor of Hong Kong is the Emperor's plenipotentiary representative.

Four systems were established under the Governor of Hong Kong to constitute the British ruling regime in Hong Kong: (1) the advisory Executive Council and the Legislative Council, (2) the administrative agency headed by the Chief Secretary, (3) the Chief Secretary The judicial body headed by the Inspector General, (4) the British troops stationed in Hong Kong under the orders of the British Ministry of Defense. In addition, an "Office of the Governor-General's Independent Commission Against Corruption" was established.

The Executive Council and the Legislative Council are two important institutions that assist the Governor of Hong Kong in exercising his powers. The main officials in the Hong Kong British Communist Party also include: Chief Secretary, Financial Secretary and Department of Justice.

The British troops stationed in Hong Kong are an important force in maintaining the British colonial rule over Hong Kong. Since the British occupied Hong Kong, they have maintained a relatively stable army in Hong Kong, with about 10,000 troops, including the army, navy and air force.

The legal and judicial system originated from the United Kingdom and is an important means for the United Kingdom to implement governance over Hong Kong. In addition to implementing colonial rule over Hong Kong politically, Britain also ensured the privileged status of British-funded consortiums in Hong Kong economically.

British-funded consortium refers to British capital consortium based in Hong Kong, mainly including HSBC Consortium, Swire Consortium, Jardine Matheson Consortium, etc. Most of the British-funded consortiums started their businesses early and have been involved in the Hong Kong economy for a long time. They have close relations with the British Hong Kong Communist Party and have a great influence on the policies of the British Hong Kong Communist Party.

They rely on the support of the Hong Kong government and control the economic lifeline of Hong Kong. For example, the British-owned HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank have the privilege of issuing Hong Kong dollars; the British-owned Cable and Telegraph Bureau, through its affiliated Hong Kong Cable and Telephone Company and the Hong Kong Telephone Company, monopolizes Hong Kong's external communications and city-wide telephone and telecommunications services; British-owned real estate companies have A large number of real estate properties in Hong Kong.

This is just as people in Hong Kong say: "The actual rulers of Hong Kong are the Jockey Club, Jardine Matheson, HSBC and the Hong Kong Government." British colonial rule made the entire Hong Kong society full of colonialism.

4. Japan’s occupation and fall of Hong Kong during World War II On December 7, 1941 (Sunday), the Hong Kong area presented a peaceful and leisurely atmosphere. The movie theaters were full, the bars were filled with customers, jazz music was constantly playing from the dance halls, and young people went out in groups to the rural areas of the New Territories.

Less than three weeks. 4. What are the places of interest and historical sites in Hong Kong?

The history of Hong Kong’s cession, the process of its return, and its prosperity after the return

The history of cession: On January 26, 1841, after the first Opium War, the British occupied Hong Kong Island. Afterwards, the Qing Dynasty tried to They used force to regain it, and Emperor Daoguang issued many edicts to this end, but the Qing Dynasty was never able to defend its territorial integrity.

On August 29, 1842, the Qing Dynasty signed the unequal "Treaty of Nanjing" (originally known as the "Treaty of Jiangning") with the United Kingdom, ceding Hong Kong Island to the United Kingdom. On October 24, 1860, China and Britain signed the unequal Treaty of Beijing, ceding the area south of Boundary Street on the Kowloon Peninsula to Britain.

On June 9, 1898, the British forced the Qing Dynasty to sign the "Special Treaty for the Expansion of Hong Kong Boundary Sites" (commonly known as the "New Territories Lease"), and forcibly leased the land north of Boundary Street on the Kowloon Peninsula and between the Shenzhen River and southern region. As well as more than 200 large and small islands, the lease term is 99 years (ends on June 30, 1997).

Through three treaties, the British Empire occupied Chinese territory including Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories with a total area of ??1,092 square kilometers, which is the current area of ??the entire Hong Kong area.

On December 25, 1941 (called "Black Christmas" by Hong Kong people), during the Second World War, the Japanese army invaded Hong Kong. The British troops stationed in Hong Kong were unable to resist. The then Governor of Hong Kong, Yang Muqi, reluctantly announced his surrender.

Hong Kong was occupied by Japan and began the "Japanese Occupation Period" that lasted three years and eight months. On September 15, 1945, after Japan was defeated, it signed a surrender document in Hong Kong and withdrew from Hong Kong. Hong Kong was re-administered by the British.

During the return process from 1982 to 1984, China and Britain negotiated on the implementation of the future of Hong Kong. On December 19, 1984, they signed the "Union of the People's Republic of China and the People's Republic of China and the Union of Great Britain and Northern Ireland". The Joint Statement of the Kingdom of Hong Kong on the Question of Hong Kong" decided that the People's Republic of China would resume the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong on July 1, 1997.

In the early 18th century, Britain began to trade opium with China. In June 1840, the Qing government ordered a ban on opium, and Britain brazenly launched the first Opium War and sent troops to attack Guangzhou. On January 26, 1841, the British sent troops to forcibly occupy Hong Kong.

As early as 1833 (the thirteenth year of Daoguang), the British invaders intended to occupy islands on the coast of China in order to invade China. In 1834, they first saw that Hong Kong was strategically and commercially beneficial to them. After that, the occupation of islands off the coast of China became the most important goal of the British invaders. In the more than 50 years since the British army occupied Hong Kong, the British forces forced the Qing Dynasty to sign three unequal treaties on the Hong Kong issue and occupied the entire Hong Kong area.

On August 29, 1842, the British Communist Party and the Qing Dynasty signed the Treaty of Nanjing, the first unequal treaty in modern history in my country, in which Article 3 stipulated that Hong Kong would be ceded to Britain.

In 1856, Britain launched the second "Opium War" and forced the Qing Dynasty to sign the "Treaty of Beijing" on October 24, 1860, ceding the Chinese territory south of Boundary Street on the Kowloon Peninsula to Britain. 8.
