On May 12, according to the clues, the investigation team came to Shenjiao Village in Meizhou and found Shen Maorong and Shen Brothers who were retired at home. The 73-year-old Shen Maorong was originally the head of Shenjiao Village, and his younger brother Shen (Rong Liang) is 70 years old and worked as a primary school teacher.

Du Maojiang did not disclose the purpose of the investigation. He asked his two brothers, Do you have any relatives in Thailand? "My father Shen Nanqing is 93 years old and lives in Chiang Mai, Thailand. In July 2000, I also went to Thailand to visit relatives. " According to Shen Maorong's memory, his father Shen Nanqing returned to China with his aunt's son, Mr. Huang Quancheng, and his children 66 years ago (1939) to escape the war, and lived in his hometown for more than two years. At that time, Shen Nanqing was Huang Quancheng's helper (waiter) and also returned from Chiang Mai. At that time, Shen Nanqing lived in Shenjiao Village, but often went to Meijiao Village. This is consistent with the "grandfather's entourage" provided by Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.

After investigation, Huang Quancheng's ancestral home is Huang Wu, Meijiao Village, Songkou Town, Meixian County. Old Shen Manmao Rong also said that Huang Quancheng had two wives at that time, both of whom were Thai. In order to prove his words, the old man took out the old photos collected at home and identified Huang Quancheng's children one by one. Lao Shen Man Mao Rong said that he has visited relatives in Thailand several times, and most of Huang Quancheng's children have seen it.

Huang Wu confirmed that Jin Ji was Thaksin's mother.

In Huang Wu, Meijiao Village, Songkou Town, Meixian County, the investigation team found the nephew and sister-in-law of Mr. Huang Quancheng, who is 86 years old and lives with his 72-year-old son Huang and his wife.

Huang doesn't know his origin with Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. He only knows that he has many relatives in Thailand, but he has no contact. According to Huang's memory, Huang Quancheng had two wives. 1939, Huang Quancheng and his youngest wife returned to China with their daughter leijin and lived in Huangwumei Point. Huang and his wife said, "There were many people at that time, so we had to set two tables." . At that time, Huang Quancheng's children were still studying in Huang Wu.

The yellow house was built more than 200 years ago. When the investigation team found it, the house was already in some rags. It is understood that in the late Qing Dynasty, Huang Quancheng moved to Thailand from Fengshun, Guangdong. He first settled in Tsim Chuen in eastern Thailand for business and then moved to Chiang Mai to make a living. He used to be a tax official and developed from scratch into a rich local businessman. The tomb of his mother, Shen Shi, is still well preserved, and the inscription clearly records that in the summer of the 24th year of the Republic of China, Huang Quancheng erected a monument for his mother.

On May 13, the investigation team received four old photos provided by Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra to Ambassador Zhang Jiuhuan, including photos taken by Shen Maorong and his father Shen Nanqing at the gate of Shenjiao Village and in Thailand. It's exactly the same as the searched photos.

Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra was born in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand on July 1949. He is the fourth generation of Thai Chinese, and his Chinese name is Chudas. Photo: In Thaksin's ancestral home, children are looking forward to it.

Hakka Xia Nanyang Songkou No.1 Station

Thaksin's mother's ancestral home in Songkou Ancient Town, Meizhou, was once "the first stop for Hakkas to cry in South Asia".

The ancient town of Songkou, with a history of thousands of years, was established earlier than Meizhou. This is one of the origins of Hakka ancestors' southward migration, and it is also the first stop for Hakka people to leave Nanyang after the end of the Ming Dynasty.

There is a shocking saying in the tiny town of Songkou: "Since ancient times, Songkou has denied Jiaying country" (Editor's note: Meizhou was called Jiaying country in ancient times; Up to now, preserved fruit made of green plums is still called "Jiayingzi" in Guangdong. Scholar Tan said that the reason why Songkou "does not recognize the state" is because Songkou people do not have to go through Jiaying House for overseas postal service, navigation and trade. As long as the envelope of overseas letters stated "China Shantou Songkou transferred to someone in a village", they went straight to Songkou via Shantou Port, showing that there were many "cows" in Songkou at that time.

Hakka scholar Huang Huoxing said that Songkou is the hometown of overseas Chinese, the hometown of folk songs; Due to the influence of Nanyang culture, most of the streets in Songkou are now a combination of Chinese and western; There, foreign buildings appeared in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

70% of Thai cabinet members are Chinese.

Overseas Chinese have a long history of emigrating to Thailand. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, a considerable number of Hakka ancestors in Guangdong settled in Thailand at the end of Song Dynasty and the beginning of Yuan Dynasty. After Zheng He's seven voyages to the West in the early Ming Dynasty, the number of overseas Chinese in Thailand increased greatly. Now Thailand has become one of the countries with the largest number of Chinese in the world. At present, it is generally estimated that the total number of Chinese is more than 7 million (including 14 1600), accounting for more than 10% of the total population in Thailand.

An overseas survey conducted by the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of Guangdong Province shows that about 70% of overseas Chinese in Thailand come from Chaoshan area. At present, China's economy accounts for about 60% of Thailand's national economy and 80% of Thailand's private economy.

Since the establishment of constitutional monarchy in Thailand in 1932, Chinese have been appointed to cabinet positions in successive governments. On March 6th, 2005, a 35-member one-party government was proclaimed after thaksin shinawatra, the chairman of Thai Party, was re-elected as Prime Minister of Thailand. Among the cabinet members including Hakka Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, Chinese cabinet members account for nearly 70%, setting a record for the largest number of Chinese in Thai history.
