Nowadays, with the advancement of society and advanced technology, the people's standard of living has gradually improved a lot. Not only is it satisfied with a life of food and clothing as before, but is pursuing a higher quality of life. But such a happy and stable life was something that people couldn't expect in the past. For example, in the past, many people have heard the story of "Crossing the Guandong"!
Why did Shandong people go to the cold northeast to "break through the Guandong" instead of the rich south? Let's continue to look down!
Although this is a little bit younger friends, it may not be clear about it. But I must have heard some stories about going through Guandong! In fact, since the end of the Qing Dynasty, most common people have had an extremely difficult life. At that time, the war was basically never stopped.
So, one can imagine what kind of dire situation people were living in. Not to mention whether you can eat and wear warm clothes. Perhaps it was extremely difficult to survive all this in that era.
In that year, Shandong was a city with a relatively large population, and ordinary people almost couldn't live anymore. Therefore, there is no other way but to find a way to survive. And after the late Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, with the contact of the ban, a large amount of unowned land was exposed to the eyes of the people who lacked food and clothing, so anyone who wants to survive wants to seize this opportunity. Then why did they choose to go to the cold northeast instead of the rich south?
Because compared to the Jiangsu-Zhejiang area, which has a large population but sparse land, the northeast area is much better. After all, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and some are land. You must know that for the people back then, as long as they had land, they had opportunities.
So, once people go there, they can buy or reclaim a piece of wasteland, and they will be worried that they will starve to death when they grow food! Or to work as a labor force, or to feed a family. After all, because the Northeast has a small population but a lot of land, it is also extremely lack of labor.
In this way, you may also be able to understand the reasons why Shandong people made this choice back then! After all, the Northeast was relatively lacking for labor. So no matter whether you are reclaiming wasteland and farming by yourself or working, you can make yourself alive in that world.
Of course, perhaps because of the migration of a large number of people in Shandong that year, the land in the northeast became richer. From the countless wasteland that year, it has become a piece of fertile farmland. Therefore, they also made a great contribution back then!
