How many descendants are there in Northeast China today?

The number of immigrants in the early Qing Dynasty was small, and most of them were engaged in collecting ginseng, panning for gold, cutting down forests and hunting hides. , showing many "mountain walkers". Regardless of the imperial court's ban, they often went deep into the mountains with grain cloth in groups of three or five, and some people who took part in gold mining even went deep into the mountains and never returned. Later, immigrants gradually took farming as their main job.

At the beginning, they had neither land nor reclamation right, so they were "servants first, then tenants" and "rented flag land and engaged in farming". There are also people who reclaim land privately. "Shandong immigrants mobilized their families and created so-called shacks. They think that the base area began to burn wasteland on the adjacent land. Plant buckwheat in the first year and sorghum and rice in turn in the second year. "

In the early Republic of China, the warlord regime was chaotic, the people were in dire straits, and the masses were numerous and complicated, like a torrent. The average number of Shandong people who traveled to Kanto reached 480,000 per year, and by 1949, the total number exceeded18.3 million, and the number of Shandong people who took root reached 7.92 million. According to statistics, during the Republic of China, the number of Shandong immigrants to Northeast China reached18.364 million.

Up to now, I'm afraid no one knows how many descendants there are in Northeast China. But at least I know that the author's native place is Shandong, and most of my friends' previous generations came in that year.
