You may have heard this saying: The Japanese are actually the descendants of the Chinese! Rumor: In the pre-Qin period of China. Later, it broke away from China, and this Penglai Island is actually Japan.

You may have heard this saying: The Japanese are actually descendants of the Chinese! Why does say this? Rumor: In the pre-Qin period of China. There was a warlock named Xu Fu who was refining elixirs for the First Emperor of Qin. He found the Penglai Immortal Island and told the First Emperor to go to the Immortal Island to refine the elixir of immortality for him! Therefore, he took a group of boys and girls with him. Go to the island to refine the elixir. Later, it broke away from China, and this Penglai Island is actually Japan. And took root there, and then formed today's island country.

Nordic "distant relatives"

So people often joke that the Japanese are actually just a branch of the Chinese overseas. Although our two countries are indeed relatively similar in history, culture, language, appearance, etc., they are not correct. Accurate factual evidence to support this point of view. However. The country we are going to talk about today is not ordinary. Finland which is far away in northern Europe actually has a similar relationship with China. It can even be said to be an "ethnic group" living overseas.

When Shanghai held the Expo in 2010, Halonen, then the President of Finland, said this: "Although China and Finland are far apart geographically, we are relatives in history and language." This statement immediately aroused widespread heated discussion. I don't know whether it was the Finnish president's special foreign policy or a polite comment for attending the World Expo, but this statement is obviously more incredible than Japan's Penglai Island.

Eight poles can't reach the place that can't be reached. How could they be related? Why are foreigners called foreigners? It's because our looks are very different from theirs. One has yellow skin, one has white skin; one has black hair, one has blond hair; one has deep facial features and blue eyes. A man with a flat face and brown eyes. These features are the best proof. A netizen on said: I won’t believe it even if I beat myself to death!

"Them" and "us"

We are very different in appearance, let alone related. If we were placed in ancient times, we would even think that we are the same "species"? So before this statement has been confirmed, it is actually a "joke".

Speaking of which, we need to understand what is the situation in Finland? It is located in northern Europe, separated from our country by Russia, and spans the entire Russian territory, so even the straight-line distance reaches more than 8,000 kilometers. What does this country with a land area of ​​only 333.8 square kilometers and a population of only about 5 million have to do with us?

I wonder if you have any impression of a figure skating player from Finland? Her name is Lauren LePest . Her face is very similar to that of a Chinese person. Her lips are very thin, her forehead is relatively low, her face is slightly flatter, and she has no obvious foreign features, that is, her facial features are relatively deep. Except for the different hair color and eye color, is no different from the Chinese. ,

So some domestic netizens or melon-eating people, and some scholars may make bold guesses like this : In ancient times, a group of Chinese were hunted by the Huns . They fled along Russia and ran all the way to Finland. They were safe and settled here. Later, they married foreigners and had children, and the entire ethnic group continued. That's why Finland's genes are so similar to our country's genes.

DAN is very similar to

. This statement is very fanciful, , but the more bizarre things are, the more likely they are . Therefore, some experts have extracted DNA samples from Finns and found that their genes are not the same as those of Europeans. Only 57% of the genes are from Northern Europe, and the remaining 43% are from Northeast Asia. Adding to previous speculation, this may be the case.

So far we can only say: high genetic matching. Finns are very similar to us Chinese, but we cannot pinpoint them accurately. is bolder: it may be the Nordic branch of China.

Of course, in modern society, these views are actually not important. After all, it is not a blood-related society. If we were to judge distance based solely on blood ties, then there would be our people all over the world! In this era, there are too many Chinese Americans. The key depends on what they did? Whether you are a "friend" or an "enemy", you still have to take action! So, what did Finland do?

"Forever" brothers and friends

The relationship between Finland and China has always been very good. Let's not talk about the closeness brought by blood. That is to say, in modern times, Finland's support for China and China's friendliness towards Finland have made our relationship with each other manifest: is not better than a real brother.

During the construction period, Finland also helped China many times. At that time, the United States was implementing hegemony , and many European countries had to look to the United States for everything they did. However, they ignored the warnings and obstruction of the United States. not only remained neutral on the issue of China, but also provided appropriate support. includes the construction technology of China's warship , and many key points are provided by them.

Later, in 1971, Finland also cast a valuable and solemn vote in the vote for our country to return to the United Nations. This silent move allowed us to see the deep friendship between the two brothers.

As for bilateral political relations, everyone knows that the year our country just ended its civil war, that is, October 1, 1949, Chairman Mao stood on the tower of Tiananmen and announced to the world that New China was established ! At this moment, the only countries that can establish diplomatic relations with China and recognize the status of New China are a few countries in the socialist camp headed by the Soviet Union. Finland, a small country in northern Europe, dared to brave the world's disapproval and was not afraid of power . It recognized the status of New China on January 17, 1950, and officially established diplomatic relations with my country on October 28 of the same year.

What determination and courage this is! 60 For more than 60 years, the relationship between our two countries has been developing steadily and has achieved remarkable results in politics, economy, culture, science and technology. Finland's support and help in our country's science and technology field are indispensable, and our country's friendship and goodwill towards Finland can also be seen. This is the deepest and most ardent wish of the leaders of the two countries and the people of the two countries. We believe that the two countries will be able to maintain and deepen this brotherly relationship of friendship and cooperation for a long time to come.

On December 5, 2021, Anna Sanova, an official of the Finnish Ministry of Foreign Affairs in charge of the United Nations and global affairs, said in an interview with a reporter from Xinhua News Agency: "Sino-Soviet relations have a long history, which has laid a solid foundation for the two countries. Finland is looking forward to working with China to respond to climate change and promote deepening cooperation in global health security and sustainable development." It can be seen that Finland's recognition and support of our country is inseparable from the historical reasons of the two countries.

Because the people of our two countries have a very good quality, that is, reservation, modesty, benevolence and righteousness. These qualities are very different from those of the Chinese people. As the saying goes, there is no voice anywhere in the world. It is precisely because we have the same temperament that we can become the deepest and best friends.

I remember a book called "Us and You: The Story of China and Finland". This book is a book jointly created by our two countries about the political, economic and cultural connections and growth of the two countries since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Finland 70 years ago. Interested friends can take a look!
