African slogan China

Chang 'an in the prosperous Tang Dynasty was the most prosperous and powerful city in the world at that time. At that time, all countries came to Korea, which was the grand occasion of the Tang Dynasty. Time came to the Ming Dynasty, when China had not closed its doors to the outside world. Zheng He's voyage to the West was China's first maritime voyage in ancient times. It publicized the Wei De religion in China, expanded the tribute system and promoted the exchanges between Chinese and foreign civilizations. From the late Qing Dynasty to the last century, China was poor and weak, and was bullied by all sides. For the rise of China, countless people with lofty ideals shed their blood, but some people avoided it.

After the founding of New China, after decades of construction, China once again stood in the forest of great powers and nations in the world. China today is a soaring China, a responsible, peaceful and friendly country. China has once again become a big tree. People can see her from far away and yearn for her. Some descendants of China who were exiled for historical reasons also expressed their desire to return to their roots.

There is an island tribe in Africa. Many local people insist that they are from China and want to return to China to catch the fast-developing train in China. Strangely, with the strengthening of China's national strength, more and more local people claim to be descendants of China. What's going on here?

Descendants of merchant survivors

This African "China Village" is located on a Kenyan coastal island. After the reform and opening up in China in the last century, people heard that some residents here claimed to be descendants of China. According to some rumors and facts, some American writers and journalists infer that these people who call themselves "descendants of China" may be descendants of Zheng He's subordinates when he went to the West.

After the news gradually fermented, it attracted the attention of the Chinese Embassy in Kenya. They and some journalists went to Lamu Islands for a field trip to find out the truth. Sure enough, they were allowed to check something.

According to some historical records in China, Zheng He went to the coastal cities in East Africa when he went to the West. The Lamu Islands are really on their way. According to local folklore, a merchant ship from China ran aground and sank nearby hundreds of years ago. After landing, the survivors married the local people and have been multiplying ever since.

However, many ancient China porcelains and clay pots from that period were indeed found in the local area, many of which were painted with the image of dragons. One and two can be said to be accidental, but so many ancient China porcelains have been salvaged in this sea area, indicating that there must be a large shipwreck here. There are also some porcelains that are said to have been handed down from generation to generation, from generation to generation and from son to grandson.

When investigating the local tombs, people found that many tombs on the island face the northeast where China is located. Its top is semicircular, much like China's mausoleum. The local wooden chairs and some buildings have the ancient style of China. The residents of the island used to raise silkworms and weave silk ... These physical evidences, the similarity of some customs and the conformity with historical materials are all evidence of the statement of "descendants of China". After seeing the faces of those who claimed to be descendants of China, experts also confirmed their guess that they were from China.

China girl born and raised in Africa.

According to the research results of the project "China people on the East African coast", there were about 50 descendants of China on Patai Island in Lamu Islands at that time, which were divided into four families. Although they have been married for hundreds of years, they are still lighter than the locals and look vaguely Asian. However, after years of marriage, they are different from China people.

Among these people, there is a mother and daughter whose facial features are most like those of China people. My daughter's name is Mwamaka Sharif, and she was 17 years old and still in middle school. A delegation from China changed her fate. When Sharif first met a diplomat in China, he said he wanted to study in China. Later, the Ministry of Education of China granted her a publicly-funded study abroad quota as a descendant of China. Xia Ruifu received a scholarship from the China government and came to China to successfully complete her studies.

Xia Ruifu is a chosen daughter, and this wonderful situation makes her a famous Kenyan "China girl". Xia Ruifu's family has nostalgia and yearning for China. Their family has an ancient bowl that has been handed down for hundreds of years. Generations of ancestors told their descendants the story of the shipwreck in China, so that they would not forget their roots.

However, these descendants of China, who are called "Washanga people" by the local people, have fully integrated into the local society. Although Sharif is excited and proud that she is a descendant of China, she still loves this place where her ancestors have lived for hundreds of years. When she first indicated that she wanted to study in China, she had already explained the reason-she wanted to be an excellent doctor and save lives in her hometown in the future.

True and false Chinese descendants

Although it is regrettable, it is understandable. After all, it's been too long, and people prefer to be born in their hometown. Although Sharif loves Lamu Islands more, China still appreciates her desire to return to her hometown and gives her the opportunity to study abroad. After hundreds of years, Xia Ruifu still remembers her ancestral teachings, her native place and her blood flowing from China. It's rare, isn't it?

Among these descendants of China, many people yearn for the increasingly powerful China, insisting that they are from China and eager to return to China. People actually appreciate these people's desire to return to their homeland. However, after many years, things have changed. These people want to go back to China, which is not something they can do with words. Let's wait and see.

In addition, there is a kind of confusion. According to expert statistics, there were no more than 200 descendants of China in the whole Kenyan coastal area at that time. In recent years, the development speed of China is getting faster and faster, and more and more local people claim to be descendants of China. Because of the age, the true descendants can't produce real evidence, so it's hard to deny that these people are not descendants of China.

This phenomenon is very ironic. However, this suspicion of climbing relatives by mistake just shows the attraction of the increasingly powerful China, which is also a kind of comfort.

In a word, China has got rid of poverty and weakness in the past, and the rising China has grown into a tree, which can shelter the people from the wind and rain. Her crown is big enough to shelter the domestic people from the wind and rain, and also to shelter any Chinese descendants worthy of protection. People can see her from far away and want to get close to her. These people in Africa insist that they are from China and want to return to China, which is the best example.

And what we have to do is to make the Chinese mother tree flourish and attract more lost wanderers to return home to find their roots!
