What is the historical background of Lower Nanyang?

During the historical period from the Ming Dynasty to the Republic of China, domestic wars continued and people were in dire straits. At that time, Fujian and Guangdong were in panic and poverty, with a large population and little land, and the lives of ordinary people were extremely difficult to maintain. In order to make a living, maintain family life, change the fate of individuals or families and avoid war, ordinary people in Fujian and Guangdong went to Nanyang to make a living in batches again and again.

In the last years of China's feudal dynasty, most of them were accompanied by turmoil and dynasty changes. Ordinary people who could not bear the war and former nobles who lost their power emigrated overseas. Due to its geographical proximity, Southeast Asia has become a place of immigration and refuge for China immigrants.
