Your question should be about the identity of "Northeasters". Not whether Liaoning is a problem in the northeast. It is true that Liaoning is a province in the northeast, but many people do not have a deep sense of identity with the word northeast. Like my classmates in Dalian, Liaoning and Shenyang, Liaoning. Shenyang can better identify with the word northeast. But Dalian people rarely agree.

1 The northeast is very big. The north includes (North China, Northwest China and Northeast China)

(Liaoning Province+Jilin Province+Heilongjiang Province+East Inner Mongolia = Northeast China)

Liaoning Province is a coastal province in China, and half of the cities belong to a life culture that does not belong to the pure Northeast. For example, Dalian, Yingkou, Dandong, Jinzhou and Huludao (all coastal cities) prefer seafood.

The average climate difference between Liaoning Province, Heilongjiang Province and Jilin Province is more than 10 degrees, especially in winter. The temperature difference between Dalian City, Liaoning Province, the southernmost part of Northeast China, and Heihe City, Mohe County, Daxinganling District, Heilongjiang Province exceeds 18 degrees!

You can look at the weather forecast (this morning's)

Dalian, Liaoning is above zero 13 degrees.

5 degrees above zero in Shenyang, Liaoning

Changchun, Jilin? 3 degrees below zero

Harbin, Heilongjiang, MINUS 8 degrees

Mudanjiang, Heilongjiang? MINUS 10 degrees

Daxinganling area in Heilongjiang? 20 degrees below zero

You'll find another thing. Liaoning people introduce themselves as Liaoning people from other provinces. Dalian people will directly say that I am from Dalian. And Shenyang people will introduce themselves as Shenyang people in Liaoning. I seldom introduce myself as a Northeastern. Harbin, Heilongjiang only likes Harbin people. People in many ordinary small cities in Jilin and Heilongjiang will introduce themselves as Northeasters. Most people in small cities at the prefecture level in Liaoning introduce themselves as Liaoning people ~

This kind of problem is similar to "Northeastern people are one family", "Sichuanese and Chongqing people are one family", "Beijingers and Hebei people in Tianjin (Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei) are one family" and "North and South are China people are one family". ! Yes, hahaha, simple ~ naive slogan!

That's all a family. How can people from Heilongjiang and Jilin still need to register their accounts when they go to Shenyang, Liaoning, and their children can go to school? Students don't start school in Shenyang junior high school and return to their hometown after the college entrance examination? Why don't Hebei people go to Beijing to buy a house or a car without the preferential policies of Beijing locals? ?
