Origin Story
1840年鸦片战争后，中国被迫与列强签订了一系列不平等条约，割地赔款，丧失了大量的领土和主权，使国家蒙受了巨大的耻辱。这些条约严重损害了中国的国家利益，使中国陷入半殖民地半封建社会的深渊，这段历史成为了中国人民永远的痛。这些条约的签订，标志着中国近代史的开始，也标志着中国开始走向屈辱的近代之路。
After the Opium War of 1840, China was forced to sign a series of unequal treaties with the foreign powers, ceding territory and paying indemnities, resulting in a significant loss of territory and sovereignty, bringing immense shame to the nation. These treaties severely damaged China's national interests, plunging the country into the abyss of a semi-colonial, semi-feudal society—a chapter in history that remains an enduring pain for the Chinese people. The signing of these treaties marked the beginning of modern Chinese history and China's descent into a period of national humiliation.
