This day, 23 August, in 1884, the opening engagement in the Battle of Fuzhou took place, fought between the navies of France and Qing-Dynasty China. Officers and sailors of the Chinese ships died heroically; the entire Fujian Navy was wiped out and the Mawei Shipyard destroyed, turning a painful page in modern Chinese naval history.
这一天，1884年8月23日，福州战役的开战发生了，法国海军和清朝-中国之间的交战。 中国船只的军官和水手英勇牺牲；整个福建海军被消灭，马威造船厂被摧毁，翻开了中国现代海军史上痛苦的一页。
