There is no doubt that Dong Fuxiang is a Han nationality. Dong Fuxiang was a famous general who fought against Eight-Nation Alliance in the late Qing Dynasty. His ancestral home is Guyuan, Gansu. 1864 organized the Han militia to fight against the Qing dynasty, and surrendered to the Qing army after being defeated by Liu Songshan under Zuo in northern Shaanxi. The troops he led were reorganized into the 3rd Battalion in Dongzi. Follow Liu Songshan and others in Shaanxi, Gansu and other places to wipe out the Hui uprising, and later promoted to prefect. But in 1900, Eight-Nation Alliance opened fire on China and began to attack Peking. In the face of the enemy's attack, Cixi did not command well, made no serious defensive arrangements, and did not have a positive response strategy.

Dong Fuxiang and his Ganjun were ordered at the critical moment, and showed bravery in the war against foreign invasion, which to some extent hit the arrogance of Eight-Nation Alliance. What is shocking is that this team named Gan Jun turned out to be a team from the northwest, mainly composed of Hui children. Dong Fuxiang and the children of the Hui nationality fought side by side and shared weal and woe.

After the uprising, the Qing army reached an agreement with the Hui people's uprising army, mutual non-aggression, mutual unity and joint fight against corruption. Tongzhi for three years, Dong Fuxiang accepted the invitation of Huan county magistrate to guard Huan county. But before long, he cleared up. He allied with many Hui armies, defeated the Qing army and seized a lot of materials. In the spring of Tongzhi six years, the joint movement between Dong Fuxiang and the Hui army reached its climax.

Thus, although Dong Fuxiang is a Han Chinese, he is inextricably linked with the Hui people. He once attacked the returning army for his own benefit, and also joined hands with the returning army to jointly resist the corrupt Qing army. When the nation is in danger, we should put aside prejudice, unite and cooperate, and jointly resist foreign enemies.
