马关,日本的一个小镇,日本人又称为“下关”。清光绪廿一年二月廿八日(公元1895年3月24日),这个过去默默无闻的小镇突然吸引了全世界的目光。这一天,因甲午战败,奉清政府之命前来马关议和的全权大臣李鸿章在下塌的旅馆门口遇到了狙击手。当时,他弹伤颊骨,血流满面。此事立即成为全球特大新闻。 Shimonoseki, a small town in Japan, is also known as the Japanese “Shimonoseki.” On February 28, twenty-second year of Emperor Guangxu (March 24, 1895 AD), a town unknown to the public suddenly caught the eye of the world. On that day, Li Hongzhang, the Plenipotentiary Minister who had come to Malaysia on the orders of the Qing government, encountered a sniper in front of the hotel that had collapsed because of the defeat of Jiawu in the afternoon. At that time, he bounced cheekbones, full of blood. This matter immediately became the world’s largest news.
