'We are a string of pearls from the East China Sea, Ryukyu is my brothers, and I am Taiwan. I still have the heroic soul of the Zheng family in my chest, and the red blood of Jingzhong stains my family heritage. Mother, the scorching summer is going to kill me, give me an order, I can still fight against the city, mother! I want to come back, mother' In the early morning of July 1, 1951, the Chinese People's Liberation Army Armed Police stationed in the Ryukyu Islands, more than 10,000 people. Riding 10 LST1 tank landing craft, more than 60 tanks, armored vehicles and 80 American trucks and jeeps were boarded, more than 10 large and small islands such as Okinawa and Amami Oshima, the largest islands in the Ryukyu archipelago, 2 escort destroyers, 10 gunboats, 2 small landing ships and 2 speedboats, and more than 1,500 officers and men also drove into the port of Naha on Okinawa Island and the port of Nase on Amami Oshima Island. The Ryukyu Islands are officially under military control.

There are more than 10,000 troops stationed in the Ryukyus, including the army, the naval ship brigade, the headquarters stationed in the Ryukyus, and the logistics troops, which are organized as division-level units. Before these soldiers who had moved to the triumphant war in Korea had time to drink the old wine of their hometown and dust off their clothes, they gathered in Bohai Bay after a military order, where they received a month's training in special operations and more than a month of training in amphibious warfare at sea. Although the training time is very short, the effect is not small. They were all equipped with American-style equipment captured from the Korean battlefield. They arrived at the Ryukyu Islands on 29 June. In order to reflect the military appearance and style of the Chinese People's Liberation Army stationed in the Ryukyus, the premier specially approved the troops stationed on the island to dress according to the military uniform style of the base. When these troops stationed in the Ryukyus with high morale and wearing Type 07 uniforms were stationed on the islands of the Ryukyu Islands, they were warmly welcomed by local officials and the people of the Ryukyus. They carried torches and placards of 'Thousand Years of Righteous Teacher' and 'Mighty Master of the Mother State'. Playing the five-star red flag embroidered by himself, he greeted the arrival of the [***] team. The Ryukyuan people kept stuffing dried pineapples into the hands of the warriors and throwing them on the carts. They carried the slaughtered pigs and oxen to the gate of the garrison. With great enthusiasm, they expressed their infinite hope for the return to China.

Since 1693, the northern Amami Islands have been ceded to the Amami Islands, and the Amami Islands have been away from home for 258 years.

It has been 72 years since the Ryukyu Kingdom was incorporated into the territory of the Ryukyu Kingdom in 1879.

In order to resist the invasion and annexation of the Ryukyu Dynasty, the Ryukyu Axe and the people resisted desperately, protested with blood and tears, and even turned their lives into flames to protest against the invasion of the Lord, in order to ask the mother state to lend a helping hand to them and save the Ryukyu from fire and water. In October 1879, three unkempt, ragged, and skinny overseas visitors crawled in front of the door of the Prime Minister's Yamen, No. 49 Dongtangzi Hutong, Yanjing City, and wept bitterly, attracting many onlookers from Chinese. Who are these beggar-like visitors from overseas? They were the officials secretly sent by the Ryukyus. Three people, including Mao Jingchang, the ear and eye official of the Ryukyus, asked to meet with the prime minister of the home country of the Qing Dynasty. After King Shotai was taken captive by himself, they came to their mother country to ask for help after a lot of hardships, so as to drive all the troops out of the country, take King Shotai back to Ryukyu, and restore the country and mountains of Ryukyu. In the face of their bitter crying and wailing, their mother state could not do anything, and only gave them 300 taels of silver as Sichuan money, so that they could try to go back on their own. In the case of hopelessness for help, the envoy of the Ryukyu Kingdom, Lin Shigong, was heroic in grief and indignation, protesting the invasion with his death, hoping to use his death to awaken the attention of the mother country, and to die to ask the Chinese Qing government axe to send troops to protect the people of Ryukyu. However, all this done by the Ryukyus did not move the incompetent Qing Zheng axe, nor did it stop the ambition and behavior of the Ryukyu extermination. When they won the war, they also sent people to Yucheng secretly, hoping that the Chinese national government would accept the Ryukyus. But Chiang Kai-shek's leisure to take care of those hanging things, and he sent them away without even giving a tael of silver.

Today, the days of the dead slaves are finally over, and Ryukyu has finally returned to the arms of the ancestors. With the protection of such a powerful army that can defeat the U.S. military, there is no need to worry about the greedy and murderous Japanese pirates in the north. How could the people of the Ryukyus not be overjoyed by all this? They listened to the high-pitched melody of the impassioned and majestic "March of the Volunteers" shouted by the soldiers of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. Everyone felt their blood boiling, and many people's eyes were full of tears of excitement, applause, and cheers lasted for a long time. This unforgettable moment in history is remembered in people's hearts.

At midnight on July 1, 1951, the national flag of the People's Republic of China was raised at Shuri Square on Okinawa, the largest in the Ryukyu Islands. It was announced that the Ryukyu Islands, which had gone through hundreds of years of vicissitudes, had returned to the embrace of the mother country, and China's political axe began to resume the exercise of sovereignty over the Ryukyu Islands.

From midnight on June 30 to early morning on July 1, 1951, a temporary wooden stage was erected in Shurishi City Square, Okinawa, on the site of the former Ryukyu Dynasty Palace. Above the canopy is a dome-shaped gate in the shape of a Tang-style gate, which reads in Chinese and English to celebrate the return of the Ryukyus to China and the official establishment of the Ryukyu Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China. Behind the rostrum, there is a replica of the nine-sided imperial pen plaque given by the Chinese emperor to the king of the Ryukyus, and the entire venue will be brightly lit, and the ceremony of handing over the political axes between China and the United States will be held here. At 0:00, Li Dawei, director of the Department of Europe and the United States of the People's Republic of China, solemnly announced here: In accordance with the spirit of the Sino-US joint announcement, the political axes of China and the United States held a ceremony for the handover of the Ryukyu Islands here as scheduled, announcing China's resumption of the exercise of sovereignty over the Ryukyus. The Ryukyu Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China was formally established

This was followed by a speech by US Assistant Secretary of State Rost. He said: This important historical moment, at this special ceremony, marks the end of the Ryukyu Islands' trusteeship with the United States in accordance with the spirit of the "Cairo Declaration" and the Sino-US Joint Proclamation, and the return of the Ryukyu Islands to the People's Republic of China. As early as the Cairo Conference in November 1943, President Roosevelt repeatedly proposed to the supreme leader of your country at that time: "The Ryukyu Islands are an arc-shaped archipelago composed of many islands, and they should be deprived of the archipelago because they were robbed by improper means." I consider that the Ryukyus are geographically close to your country and have a very close relationship with your country in history, and if your country wants to get the Ryukyu Islands, and the war is over, you will hand over the Ryukyu Islands to your country. At that time, the Chinese government proposed: 'This archipelago should be occupied by China and the United States, and then the international trusteeship should be jointly managed by China and the United States.' 'Surrendering the Ryukyu Islands to China is the usual policy of our American political axe. Today, this policy has finally been realized, and Li Dawei listened to the speech of US Assistant Secretary of State Rost, thinking in his heart about the whole story of Chiang Kai-shek's two abandonment of the Ryukyus. It was strange why Chiang Kai-shek did not accept the Ryukyus at that time? "What a good opportunity to take back the Ryukyus at that time. It can also leave a shining page for itself in history. The supreme leader of a country can open up and expand the territory of the country, which is not affected by political factors, and is the greatest historical achievement of the century! Hey, Lao Jiang is really a thing. How can such a person be worthy of being the leader of such a large country? Although he can play a few warlords in the palm of his hand, he is still a politician to put it bluntly, and he is very different from a politician. In international affairs, he really can't get any cheap at all, and it is natural that he was driven to that small island, otherwise what would China be like? ”

The entrance ceremony of the flag bearers of China and the United States interrupted Li Dawei's thoughts. The flag-lowering and flag-raising ceremonies, which symbolize the handover of the political axes of the two countries to the Ryukyus, begin. All those present at the ceremony stood up. The eyes of the audience were focused on the flagpoles erected on the east and west sides in front of the rostrum.

The American Stars and Stripes slowly descend to the sound of music. With the lowering of the American Star-Spangled Banner, the six-year U.S. trusteeship of the Ryukyus and the end of Ben's rule over the Ryukyus were forever.

The exciting and sacred moment arrived, the band played the majestic national anthem of the People's Republic of China, and the Chinese flag was slowly raised. It was announced that the Ryukyus, like New China, would enter a new era.

MacArthur, as Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces and Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Far East, participated in the handover ceremony of the Ryukyu Islands. He was not dismissed in April, as in history. But there are all kinds of signs that this day is not too far away. He sat on the rostrum and sighed alone, looking sadly at the game of the handover ceremony, listening to Rost's speech. His throat choked, and when the Chinese national anthem "March of the Volunteers" was played, he felt extremely sad. How much blood has been shed on the upper layers of this island? He silently said in his heart: May God bless America! I've been ruling here for 6 years. Now it's handed over to the Chinese. He was really unwilling and unwilling. But what if it is not handed over to the Chinese? What about the tens of thousands of prisoners of war? How is the situation in Europe facing? He was responsible for a serious misunderstanding of China last October. Feeling angry and ashamed, he became the first stepping stone to China's rise. The world can now respect China, rightly or not. Power is the big thing that determines everything. If you are powerful enough, you can attract attention and make people respect. China showed its strength on the Korean battlefield. No country dares to take a contemptuous attitude towards China anymore, and the Korean War deserves to be the battle of China's prestige and the founding of the country. He firmly believed in his own judgment: in that country that defied everything and saw the powerful United States as a paper tiger; Under the leadership of China's leaders, who regard the atomic bomb as a paper tiger that terrifies the world, China will surely develop this poor and backward country into a country that can dominate Asia within a generation. This is a country with a strong nationalism, this is a country with a strong expansionism, and this is a military power with huge military potential and unlimited energy. He asserted that the real force behind the Korean War was China, not the Soviet Union. China is the most important and dangerous enemy of the United States. China's decline over the past 100 years or so is entirely due to the weakness and incompetence of those in power. At present, only by using the economic and military power of the United States to confront China can it be possible to win the final victory, and the China policy of Truman's political axe is completely appeasement.

Although MacArthur had studied China for many years, he did not know how to deal with the Chinese. He's exhausted, he's still lost in this red mist.

He looked at Li Dawei, the representative of China receiving the Ryukyus, who was sitting opposite. He felt that this Li Dawei was as mysterious as China. Let him figure it out. He watched the Chinese carefully and he was very talkative. And he was calm, unpretentious, and spoke without care, as if everything was under his control. He recalls when the two men met:

"Hello, Mr. MacArthur!" The first time we met, I didn't wait for someone to introduce me, and this China greeted me very warmly, "I am Li Dawei, director of China's Department of the United States and Europe." I didn't expect to see you here, I thought you had already returned home.'' You're good too.' He took the Chinese's outstretched hand. I really don't understand why this Chinese would say this: 'Why do you think that?' He smiled weirdly and said, "It's time to go home, Asia is no longer for you." "The young Chinese then said: 'The general has to learn to adapt to a new world, a world much smaller than it is now.'" People don't forget you because you're gone. They will remember that in the Pacific War, you were able to command 13,000 American troops and kill hundreds of thousands. This glorious achievement will forever be recorded in the annals of history. The words behind ''Thank you, young man' make you feel very useful. The shame of being defeated by the [***] team was more or less mitigated. But in these words one can feel that this is the voice of a strong man. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. He looked directly at this very free and confident Chinese.

"Alright. Dear Mr. MacArthur, I would like to have a drink with you, but I am afraid that this time there will be no such opportunity. If we have another chance, we must have a drink together, shall we? ”

"Of course" I agreed, this Chinese proposal.

This Chinese said very sincerely: "On the occasion of our reception of the Ryukyu Islands, the Chinese people remember the commander of the US 10th Army, Lieutenant General Buckner, and those American soldiers who died in battle to liberate the Ryukyu people from fascism. If you have the opportunity to go to Hawaii, please lay a wreath on my behalf to the 13,000 fallen American soldiers buried on Mount Bowl. ”

'Certainly' himself actually agreed to the request of this Chinese [***] person. yes, his request, you can't refuse.

'I will be very grateful for all that you have done for me!' The Chinese said politely.

What's even more inexplicable to himself is that he seems to be appeasing himself in the end, singing the lyrics of a military song to himself, oldsoldiersneverdie, they justfadeaway. (Veterans never die, they just fade away)
