From the perspective of world history, in modern times, due to the weakening of national power, many regions have been lost in the competition between the powers. For these lost places, it is natural that they have developed very well. However, if the development is not good, there is the idea of returning. This is also the main reason why there are so many places in the world who want to return to the original motherland. For our country, this is even more true. The following area is the area that most want to return to the motherland. It covers an area of 2,700 square kilometers. It is now an autonomous region of a neighboring country, but it is very poor.
This area is the Kokang area. The Kokang area, the full name of "Kokang Autonomous Region in Northern Shan State", belongs to an autonomous region of neighboring Myanmar. The autonomous region covers an area of 2,700 square kilometers and has a population of only 250,000. It can be said that the scale is not large, and the Kokang region, for a long time in ancient times, has been the territory of our country for thousands of years, and belongs to the border city of Yunnan Province in our country.
In the early days, a large number of Han people moved here, gradually changing the local ethnic structure, making it a Han-dominated area. And until 1897, there was no controversy about the ownership of Kokang. However, in 1897, the British Empire at the time forced the Qing government to sign the "Renewal of the Treaty of Myanmar-Burma Boundary Treaty" and forcibly placed the Kokang area under Burma.
For this, the impoverished and weak Qing government had no choice but to agree to sign it, and since then it has dared to leave the motherland. However, after Guogan left, the development was not good, especially in this area, which is deep in the mountains and old forests, economically backward, and impoverished for a long time. And after World War II, it has become a famous drug base, and it has been chaotic for a long time.
Since the end of World War II, the Kokang region has established its own army and constantly wars with the central government of Myanmar, especially since the long-term development here is lagging. The people are not living, the economy is backward and miserable. Moreover, every time a war broke out, many of the residents of Kokang migrated directly to Yunnan to avoid disasters. For this reason, there is also a Burmese village on the border of Yunnan whose residents are mostly Han.
So in fact, after Kokang was ceded, the development was very bad and life was miserable. It is precisely because of this that the Kokang area has been independent for a long time and hopes to return to the motherland. Especially as the motherland continues to develop and become prosperous, the people of Kokang hope to have a more stable and prosperous life, so this region can be said to be the region that most wants to return to the motherland.
But even so, when our country has completed the demarcation of the border with Myanmar and the cede is more than a hundred years old, even if we dare to want to return, it is actually very difficult. But under the integration of nationality and economy, in the long run, it is not hopeless to resolutely return to the dream. This is especially obvious.
