There are five tombstones standing in the east in Britain. Who was buried under the tombstone? Why should our country send someone to repair them?

In 20 16, a Chinese student found five tombstones in St. John's cemetery in Newcastle, England. Not many people paid attention to it at first, so it was very dull. But it was also because of the student's exploration that he found them to be ours, and it was because they belonged to our country that he sent someone to repair them.

At the beginning of the Opium War, the Qing government closed its doors completely, and its national strength was not improved and developed. In the end, it has been in a passive state and signed various unequal treaties. At this time, a group of people with backbone came out and put forward the idea of "learning from foreigners to control foreigners", which is actually to learn from the advanced technology of other countries in order to achieve the goal of saving the country through science and technology.

Soon, the Beiyang Navy was established, but many skills were not available, so 200 officers and men were sent to learn to save the country. However, five officers and men could not adapt to the environment there, so they died in a foreign land. They originally wanted to be buried in China, but they were buried there because they didn't have the preservation technology and didn't finish learning the knowledge at that time.

At that time, the Qing government also discussed with Britain and bought them a cemetery there to rest in peace. They face the east because they can always see their hometown. Later, some people went to see it, but then the Qing government disappeared, and then many people gradually forgot these people. It was not until 20 16 that these five tombstones were discovered by China students. Because the cemetery was purchased by the Qing government and belonged to China, the renovation began in 20 17 and was completed in 20 18.
