African-born "islanders" claim to be from China, but they want to come to China to "seek their roots". What about now?

With the development of transportation technology in recent years, people's activities have been expanding, and China people have begun to spread all over the world. Whether traveling or emigrating, China people are very active. China has a large population and many people are very enterprising. Going abroad has become the choice of many people, so China people have gathering places in almost every country.

In recent years, Africa has also welcomed many people from China. In recent years, China's aid and trade to Africa are very common, so more and more China people have settled in Africa. So although Africa is a country dominated by blacks, there are still many people from China.

However, more than ten years ago, a very strange thing happened. A girl from Africa claimed to be from China and wanted to come to China to find relatives. However, this girl is not a descendant of immigrants from China or China, but an African. Why did she say that she was from China?

African girls came to China to find relatives, claiming to be from China.

This little girl from Africa, from Patai Island in Kenya, is the largest island in Lamu Islands in Kenya. There are three Shangjia villages in Patai Island, but the land is vast and the population is sparse. The local natural environment is not good, and crops grow very little, which is not suitable for agricultural development. Therefore, this village is not rich, and usually lives mainly by fishing.

The girl comes from this poor island. There is a legend on the island. 600 years ago, a merchant ship from China ran aground and sank in the waters near Lamu. In order to survive, more than 20 people on board climbed Patai Island and came to Shangjia Village on the island. Since then, she has lived here, had children and thrived here. That's why this African girl thinks she is the descendant of China sailors.

These evidences show that China people have indeed been to this island.

First of all, there are many traces left by China people in this village. For example, the sericulture and silk weaving techniques in this village probably originated from China sailors. Now this technology has basically disappeared, because Shangjia village was destroyed by tribal fighting in the17th century, many China people settled here, and China residents fled one after another.

However, there is still evidence that China people exist in this village. There is a unique cemetery here. People in this area believe in Islam, and the direction of the cemetery is also Mecca in the northwest. This tomb faces northeast, which is the direction of China. In addition, there are many porcelains in this cemetery.

Residents near this island often salvage ceramics with Chinese characters in local seawater, which may be discarded by local people when villagers are fighting each other. So this girl thinks she is a descendant of the original China sailor, so she always yearns for China, wants to come to China to see where her ancestors lived, and successfully went to college in China. What do you think of this?
