Since ancient times, few people have been loyal and filial, but they have been worried about their country and home for five years. After death, he still hopes to save the country, and the high hall relies solely on his brothers and virtuous people.

In the 20th year of his stay in the country, he was half-disobedient and considered himself a sinner. Lao Lei recalled that his son had gray hair, and he was even more devastated when he heard the bad news.

- Excerpted from "Lin Shigong's Suspicious Poems"

Since ancient times, Ryukyu Islands have not belonged to Japan. Japan has never had sovereignty over the Ryukyu Islands! The Ryukyu Islands were originally part of China!

The founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Hongwu once issued an edict: "I have decided to name the world Ming Dynasty, Jianyuan Hongwu . Now I am sending envoys to foreign barbarians. When the envoys arrive, the barbarian chiefs declare themselves ministers and pay tribute. But Ryukyu, in the southeast of China, We were far away overseas and had no time to report. I hereby send a special envoy to inform you." After the edict was delivered, the three kings of Beishan, Zhongshan and Nanshan on the Ryukyu Islands began to pay tribute to Ming Dynasty, and Ryukyu officially became China. A vassal state (formerly known as Liuqiu or Liuqiuqiu). Ryukyu people are an independent race and nation. Their culture and customs are deeply influenced by China and have nothing to do with Japan.

From the 15th to the 16th century, Ryukyu was highly developed. At the beginning of the 17th century, the Kagoshima Satsuma Domain of Japan sent 3,000 soldiers to invade Ryukyu. After that, the Ryukyu Kingdom gradually became a puppet regime. Later, it forcibly ceded the five northern islands of Ryukyu, but Japan His wolf ambition was not satisfied. In 1616, the Japanese shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu once again sent troops to invade Taiwan. The King of Ryukyu quickly sent people to report to China. It can be seen that the Ryukyu monarch always recognized his status as a vassal state of China. After the demise of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty came into power. The Ryukyu Kingdom requested Shunzhi to be canonized as a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty. The Ryukyu Kingdom paid tribute every year, but the bulk of the tribute was taken away by Japan. Even so, Japan is not satisfied.

After the defeat of the two Opium Wars , the strength of the Qing court was clearly seen by Japan.

In 1872, the Ryukyu Kingdom was changed to the Ryukyu Domain, and the Ryukyu Kingdom's regime was in turmoil. Three years later, Japan directly forced the last king of Ryukyu, Shang Tai, to abolish the Chinese era name and use the Japanese era name. At the same time, he unilaterally declared that the Ryukyu Kingdom was no longer a vassal state of China. In order to save the national destiny, Shangtai sent Lin Shigong and others who had studied in China to the Qing court to mobilize reinforcements.

Lin Shigong and others encountered a typhoon at sea and almost wiped out the entire army. Finally, after experiencing many difficulties and dangers, they arrived in Fuzhou. They gave the secret letter of Shangtai to the then Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang He Jing. At this time, the Qing Dynasty only knew the current situation of the Ryukyu Kingdom, but it was short-sighted and unwilling to send troops. The Qing court believed that the Ryukyu Kingdom was worthless. However, due to the face of the Celestial Kingdom, it just scolded Japan for a few reasons, and then refused Lin Shigong and others to go. Beijing petitioned to deport Lin Shigong and others back to the country.

In 1879, Japan implemented the "Ryukyu Disposal" and changed Ryukyu to Okinawa Prefecture. Shang Tai was taken to Tokyo and placed under house arrest, and the Ryukyu Kingdom was destroyed. Lin Shigong and others who were still in China heard the news of the subjugation of the country. From October 23, 1879 to November 18, 1880, during this period, they petitioned the Qing Premier Yamen or the Ministry of Etiquette nine times, and even Officials in the Qing Dynasty were deeply moved by this, but they could only comfort them not to cry out, lest the Japanese know about it.

Lin Shigong and others have been calling on the Qing Dynasty to crusade against the violent Japan and help Ryukyu recover, but the answer was to let them return to Fuzhou.

On the morning of November 20, 1880, which was the 18th day of the 10th lunar month, Lin Shigong submitted the last petition to the Prime Minister’s Yamen in his own name, and at the same time wrote the first two desperate poems, and then committed suicide to die for his country!

When the Sino-Japanese War broke out in 1894, Ryukyu people spontaneously prayed to the gods for the Qing army, praying for the victory of the Qing Dynasty and the recovery of the Ryukyu Kingdom. However, God could not save the corrupt and incompetent Qing court. From then on, the Ryukyu Kingdom was completely reduced to "a part" of Japan.

From 1895 to 1945, Japan carried out brutal suppression and rule against the Ryukyu people. When Japan accepted the Potsdam Declaration in the early days of its defeat in World War II, it feared that it would be liquidated and massacred the Ryukyu people. After the US military invaded Ryukyu, it ordered Ryukyu people killed each other and jumped off cliffs, resulting in a total of 260,000 Ryukyu people killed. This is another heinous crime of little Japan!

After the end of World War II, the United States took charge of Ryukyu through the United Nations General Assembly, and aggressively established military bases on the island (70% of overseas bases) to protect its geopolitical interests in the Western Pacific.

In 1971, the United States signed the "Japan-US Security Treaty" with Japan without going through the UN General Assembly, selling "administrative power" to Japan for US$520 million, but military rights belonged to the United States. After being strongly opposed by China, Russia and other countries, and finally under pressure from the international community, the United States stated that this move only involved the administrative power of Ryukyu, not the sovereignty of Ryukyu. It should be noted that China and the former Soviet Union have never recognized this treaty.

After Japan obtained administrative power, it adopted a policy of assimilation and population replacement. Of the current 1.2 million people on Ryukyu Island, only 100,000 are Ryukyuans, and the remaining Ryukyuans have all been replaced by Japan in Osaka .

Now, with the rise of China, we have one of the best naval forces in the world, and it is time to discuss the Ryukyu issue with imperialism!

Since Japan continues to find trouble on the Taiwan issue, we should play the Ryukyu card well. When Ryukyu is named internationally, it is called Ryukyu, not Okinawa! At the same time, we encourage and support the Ryukyu people in their cause of independence and liberation. This is in line with our country’s just proposition for the international order after defeating fascism, and also embodies the spirit of internationalism! Because the " Cairo Declaration " and " Potsdam Proclamation " have clearly stipulated that Japan's territorial scope is limited to the four islands of Honshu, Kyushu, Shikoku, and Hokkaido!

If the United States and Japan really start a fight one day, then China can legitimately take back the Ryukyu Islands. The return of Ryukyu means that China has completely broken through the island chain constraints! After that, a maritime defense line of several thousand kilometers will be formed from the Ryukyu Islands - Diaoyu Islands - Taiwan Island , providing a barrier for the security of China's southeastern coast, at the same time, coupled with the South China Sea that is already firmly in our hands , at this time, China can advance and attack, and retreat and defend!

Therefore, our series of military exercises now tell the imperialists a truth: the gunboat era when imperialism was rampant in China is gone forever!

Today, the outbreak of the Russo-Ukrainian war means that a century-old change has arrived!

China will once again make the strongest call for reunification and rejuvenation, just like the Great Qin Empire's "eastward march" in history. In this process, those who go with it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. The historical trend is so great that even water cannot stop it!
