Hakka immigrants

Among the ethnic minorities in China, how to judge where the Hakkas live? Hakka is a branch of the Han nationality, not a minority. In Guangdong, the place with the largest number of Hakkas should be Meizhou. Every time they talk about Meizhou, they are talking about Hakkas. At first, I didn't know much about Hakka. But later I realized that Henan and other places moved here from their hometown in order to avoid the war. For the locals here, they are all equivalent to guests, so the northerners who moved here are called Hakkas.

Actually, it was normal to move in ancient times. After all, the war is raging and people want to live and work in peace. Nature wants to take refuge and live in a place where there is no war. Then, as an immigrant group of ancient Han nationality in southern China, Hakka people are widely distributed and have far-reaching influence in the world. In history, almost all ethnic groups have experienced the migration of past dynasties and developed to this day. Today, the aborigines in Beijing and Shanghai are mainly immigrants hundreds of years ago, especially in Guangdong, Fujian and Taiwan Province provinces. Therefore, in thousands of years of migration history, Hakkas, like other migrant groups, have become aborigines in many places.

There are about 80 million Hakkas in the world. Among them, about 50 million people are distributed in more than 80 cities and counties in South China 19 provinces, and the number of local Hakkas in Guangdong Province reaches about 25 million, accounting for one third of the local ethnic groups in Guangdong. About 6 million people live in Hongkong, Macau and Taiwan Province Province, and about150,000 people live in more than 80 countries and regions such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, the United States, Peru and Mauritius. Hakka dialect is also an important part of the local language. It can be seen that Hakka people have a far-reaching influence and are distributed all over the world.

Therefore, Hakkas are not ethnic minorities, but all Han Chinese, just saying that they moved here from other places before, took root here, lived and worked in peace and contentment, and continued to develop. In fact, just like different people, they came to Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and then bought a house here, settled down here and lived for generations. Nothing special.
