There are burial sites in Beijing for Ryukyuans (Okinawans) who sought for the Chinese Qing Dynasty to save the Ryukyu Kingdom and who died in exile before and after the “Ryukyu disposal”, when the Ryukyu Kingdom was annexed by the Meiji government in 1879. The burial sites, which are located in apple fields, are under threat of development, without investigation, and the remains and their relics are still left there.
