The ancestral home of Thai President Yingluck

His ancestral home is Taxia Village, Fengshun County, Meizhou City, Guangdong Province, and he is a descendant of Meizhou Hakka.

Yingla, nicknamed "Little Crab", is the oldest of the nine children of the Sinava family. Sinava's ancestral home is Meizhou, Guangdong. Shortly after Yingla's great-grandfather Qiu arrived in Thailand with his wife and children, his wife Liu and his son became ill one after another. Qiu had to leave his youngest son Qiu Chunsheng in Thailand and take Liu and Qiu back to their hometown to make a living by farming for generations. Later, Qiu Chunsheng married a local woman in Thailand and gave birth to Yingla's grandfather Qiu Achang. Qiu Achang moved to Chiang Mai, became rich in business and became a politician. 1939 when he entered the military school, he was changed to Thai surname "Sinava" as needed.

Yingla, a fourth-generation Chinese, once claimed that she was 25% of China origin, and had been to China many times during her early business days, "so she had a special affinity for the people of China".
