American immigrant remains

These 16 relics of the Qing Dynasty actually hide a humiliating history of the Qing government. At that time, the national strength of the Qing Dynasty was weak and the people were miserable. In order to find a way out, they boarded an ocean-going ship and embarked on the road of blood and tears.

/kloc-The Opium War of 0/840 broke the door of the ancient Eastern Empire, the Qing Dynasty. In fear and fear, this ancient country was forced to open its mind to the world and participate in the great integration and exchange of world trade.

At the same time, the invasion of western invaders began in Peru, South America on the other side of the ocean. Britain and France took a fancy to Peru's extremely rich natural resources and began to plunder them crazily. Even the rich bird droppings on Peruvian islands have become treasures in the eyes of western invaders, and they have been loaded on big ships and transported to western countries as good fertilizers. However, due to Peru's vast territory and sparse population and lack of human resources, it can't meet the needs of invaders to plunder resources. As a result, the infamous "coolie overseas trade" in modern history began. From 1849, the British and French came to the Qing Dynasty and offered attractive high prices to lure mature men of the Qing Dynasty across the ocean to make a fortune in Peru. At that time, the people's livelihood in the Qing Dynasty was depressed, and a large number of people were poor and struggling to make a living. These simple and kind farmers of the Qing Dynasty, full of expectations for a bright future, set foot on ocean-going ships and came to distant Peru. However, they never dreamed that all this was a criminal scam.

As soon as these poor laborers arrived in Peru, they met their nightmares and became slaves of the colonists. They are beaten every day, engaged in all kinds of heavy physical labor, and have poor accommodation conditions, but they only get a small salary, which is worse than being a cow and a horse. A large number of workers were tortured to death. According to incomplete statistics, from 1849 to 1874, more than100000 Qing laborers arrived in Peru, and nearly one third of them were cruelly crushed to death. 1865 or so, the workers of the Qing dynasty who couldn't bear it set off a massive labor uprising in Peru. They seized weapons and horses, established armed forces, killed brutal planters and supervisors, and dealt a heavy blow to British and French colonial leaders. However, due to the lack of unified organization and leadership, workers finally failed under the heavy encirclement and suppression of colonial invaders, and a large number of workers were retaliated and slaughtered. In order to express their memory of their comrades-in-arms, China workers buried their comrades' bodies in the Inca pyramids, which became a permanent memorial to that tragic history. I hope my answer can help you, thank you.
