Shamian Ancient Tree - Witness of Time (48)
2024-06-21
After the Opium War in 1840, the Qing government was forced to sign a series of unequal treaties with foreign countries. In 1861, Shamian became the British and French concession. On October 10, 1911, the Wuchang Uprising was successful, and the situation of the Qing government was critical. The Shamian Concession immediately strengthened its vigilance, and countries such as Britain, America, France, and Japan dispatched warships to anchor at Bai'etan. Britain also sent a force to strengthen the military strength of the Shamen Concession. The revolutionaries dispatched intelligence personnel to secretly infiltrate the sand to grasp the daily situation of the British army. One day, the identity of the intelligence personnel was exposed and they were chased by the British army. When they arrived at this camphor tree, a British army was preparing to shoot at the intelligence personnel with a gun. Suddenly, a thunderbolt hit the British gun barrel, causing casualties. The camphor tree was also cut into an "S" shape, and the branches fell to block the British army, allowing the intelligence personnel to escape.
