Chaoshan proverb: Luzon rubber (A) Laba, where Luzon refers to the ancient name Luzon Island in the present Philippine Islands. So (a) Rabbah means there!

Luzon refers to today's Luzon Island in the Philippines, and Jiaolaba is Jakarta in Indonesia. In ancient times when traffic was underdeveloped, these two places were very far away. The southwest of Huanggang Town, Raoping County, Chaozhou Prefecture is a natural harbor. Due to the lock-up policy of ZF in the Ming Dynasty, people could not go to sea to make a living, and the port was in depression, making people miserable.

It is said that during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Raoping produced a hero named Patricia Lam Fung. He was dissatisfied with the rule of the Ming regime and was determined to break through the sea ban. He organized the coastal people and prepared to move overseas on a large scale. To boost morale, Patricia Lam Fung said, we should make full preparations and start as soon as possible. By the time the imperial court sends troops to chase us, we have arrived in Jiaolaba, Luzon.

They made full preparations for going out to sea, and organized 62 large ships, which were equipped with sufficient food, production and daily necessities, and a large number of seeds. They went out to sea from 3 gates and made an expedition to the Philippines. After arriving in the Philippines, they broke through the territory, got married with the aborigines, and got along well. Now many people in the Philippines are their descendants.

Later, "Luzon Jiaolaba" became a folk saying in Chaozhou, referring to a very distant place, which was beyond the scope of regulation and control.
