Immigrants from South Henan in the Late Qing Dynasty and the Early Republic of China

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, although there was a revolution in the city and the Republic of China was established, the vast rural areas still maintained a tradition of thousands of years. Landlords, some yeomen and tenants who rent a lot of land have not changed their social relations, and the rural structure remains the same. Until the founding of New China, land reform was carried out, and the rural landscape was completely changed.

Those superstructures can still live a rich life through expropriation. Folk so-called singing opera, organizers are landlords, capitalists and the like; Young people study abroad, some from wealthy families and some from poor families, while poor families study abroad mainly because of good grades, official investment or clan investment.

The devastating blow brought by the war is mainly that the central government, which barely maintained unity, has become a divided state of warlord separatism, and the country is divided and its rights and interests cannot be safeguarded. A large number of ordinary people at the bottom of the society are bankrupt and precarious. China's scientific, technological, military and industrial processes have indeed suffered a devastating blow. Before the Qing dynasty, the whole country could be organized to catch up with the world, but by the Republic of China, it completely lost its ability to catch up. The life you see seems to be going on normally. That's because China was an agricultural society at that time, and all regions were self-sufficient. The daily necessities of life can still be provided locally, and other places are abandoned, which has not caused much impact on itself.
