Is there really a Shaanxi village abroad?

There is a Shaanxi village in Russia! Those are immigrants from Shaanxi, their past ancestors.

Shaanxi Village (related historical materials)

On both sides of the Chu River, which runs through Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, there are a group of simple descendants of the Shaanxi-Gansu Hui nationality. They make a living by planting on the vast plain. Although they have a history of one hundred years, they still maintain the living habits of our northwest people. Eat with chopsticks, sleep with a heatable adobe sleeping platform and speak Shaanxi dialect. The food is also from jiaozi in the northwest. Steamed buns, steamed bread, noodles and so on. China immigrants living here have always been called "Donggan people" by Russians, Kazakhs and Kyrgyz. And we also call villages like "Donggan people" "Shaanxi villages".

Because "Shaanxi Village" was mentioned by my father when I was a child, and I am from Shaanxi, I always wanted to go to "Shaanxi Village", and today I finally realized my childhood dream!

Starting from Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan, there is a road that goes straight to the east, which is dozens of kilometers long. Next to the road are lush forests and plains. Occasionally, some sheep or cows are grazing, and vendors with China characteristics are selling all kinds of vegetables. At the same time, there are "Donggan people" villages of different sizes on both sides, which are located on the ruins of the ancient western regions. Our great poet "Li Bai" was born here. But his ancestral home is Longxi, Gansu. This is Longxi County, Tianshui City.

In another village called Ivanovka, almost all of them are "Donggan people". They mainly eat vegetables from China for a living. The counter is covered with green peppers, carrots and tomatoes. At that time, I was hesitant to sell so many dishes of "Donggan people" to such a big village. I didn't know it was mainly "Russian" until I asked. Kazakhs are either bought by businessmen in hotels and restaurants in the city and sent to other countries. I also learned that the local people never ate vegetables at first, and he

Children only eat sheep and cows. "This answer makes me a little confused. Later, I learned from various aspects in the village that Kyrgyz people are a herding people and rarely use their brains to work. They just release a herd of cattle and sheep every day and slaughter one to feed their families if necessary. They even think that "Donggan people" love to eat "grass" (referring to vegetables) so much. At the same time, I also learned that there are very few technical talents in Kyrgyzstan, and most of them are from other nationalities.

There are more than1000 ethnic groups with a population of 5 million in Kyrgyzstan 198500 square kilometers.

Almost every yard in Donggan people's home has a big bed with a low table for eating. In the house, there will be a local resistance that can beat eight or nine people. All kinds of living habits are exactly the same as those of us in Shaanxi. Even though we Shaanxi people in China have generally made progress, they still maintain traditional customs, and they will treat every visiting Han and China friend with lofty sentiments, generosity, simplicity and innocence. You!

After many visits and investigations, we know that they are the largest Hui social group outside China, the largest immigrant group after the failure of the anti-Qing struggle in China's modern history, and the most tragic escape in the history of overseas Chinese!

An old man recalled what his grandfather had said before: "The deep winter festival in 1877 is being held on the snowy mountain at an altitude of more than 6000 meters. The top of the mountain is covered with smooth ice. If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss and die before you see the bones. People have to spread their coats and quilts on the ice, let the cavalry and the old people go first, and then crawl. Once someone accidentally rolled down from the snow-capped mountains with a horse, and then people cried in the dark abyss. Then there was no sound, and the rest of us were more careful. Then came the pursuit of the Qing army. There was a snowy mountain before, with snow and snow sandwiched between them, which was cold and slippery. Some women's hands are frozen, and they don't even know that the baby in their arms has fallen to the ground. How many days and nights have they run through the Tianshan Mountains, and I don't know how many people have died. In other words, only 30% people survived, which means that 70% of them either starved to death, froze to death or died. How many old people will cry when they recall? When they first came to Russia, Kyrgyz people found that they didn't break into a house in such a cold environment, but stayed in the cold snow, so they gave up the idea that others would invade them and accepted them in a friendly way. They finally landed on Russian soil smoothly. At the same time, they enjoyed the land given to them by the Soviet government and encouraged them to have children. Nowadays, most Donggan families have seven or eight children. In order to continue the long-standing culture of China, they created the unique use of Arabic letters and Greek letters in Chinese for the first time in the world, and finally chose Russian to spell Chinese characters 1957, and owned their own newspapers and student textbooks.
