Lanfang Republic: The Lost Chinese Republic in Indonesia, West Kalimantan

[@joewong438]

Thank you for your story about Chinese in Indonesia. My family has been in Canada for over 120 years and we are Cantonese. My ancestors were deal with a hefty Chinese Exclusion Head Tax of up to $500. My grandfather told me he had to work 5 years to pay off the $500. Perhaps they were also had the same discrimination and suppression by the Colonialists. Thanks again for the history lesson.

This is an excellent research report of Chinese history in Indonesia.

I'm amazed by the quality of this video! First of all is never thought of there's a Republic at that area. Secondly your video visualise the whole story very well, make me able to understand immediately. Thirdly, I'm waiting for part 2!!! You must be working very hard to let us have this good quality of video.. Really appreciate it and you deserve our likes and shares!!!

[@pslaw]

I still couldn't wrap my head around that a young person like you are so into the little known history of the Chinese diaspora in South East Asia 😱Thanks to you that I learned so much about the history of their arrival in the foreign land 🙏 I can't help but feel a sense of deep admiration for their success in a country that they knew so little about. I hope that the present-day youth appreciates the fruits that their forebears had worked so hard for them. It must have taken you days to find out their stories and the black-and-white pictures are just wonderful testimonies of their lives. I would think that they only appeared in obscure academic books. You may want to consider having a buy-me-a-coffee option that many youtubers have. I will certainly buy you one 😀

If you are EU4 player, you would know about this Kongsi Federation when you play in Nusantara area. You will saw it pop up as early as 15th century because Ming 'explode' and they lose province around Canton. Idk if you already cover this country, but I suggest you to talk about Kingdom of Tungming where according to EU4, it existed because of Ming lose their coastal province, so Admiral Koxinga order Ming's Armada to go to Taiwan and form a kingdom.

[@puncakrosabai9599]

In brief: The Dayak Kesultanan Mempawah was the 1st who bring in the Chinese miners followed by the Malay Kesultanan Sambas as more gold mining were found. Increasing kongsi from 8 to 14, and was awarded to self-governed. Later, Lo Fang Pak was chosen democratically to be the 1st President of Lang Fang Republic to govern, unite and protect the Chinese. They are under Kesultanan Pontianak and Sambas. It’s like a country inside a country. After hundred years, fallen into Dutch occupation. Many ran to Singapore, Sumatera etc

Mempawah Sultan was not even a Dayak Sultanate, the first Sultan was a Bugis mix. The local population was mainly Dayak, Malay and Bugis.

Thanks for sharing the history of Lan Fang Republic to your audience. Hope more people are made aware of it and the history will not be lost. The irony is many Indonesians and even West Kalimantanese are not aware of its existence. I myself for example, as a West Kalimantanese, the first time I heard about Lan Fang Republic was during my High School year in the 90s in Australia during my Bahasa Indonesia Malaysia (BIM) class. There is another irony to that BIM class, while the students were mostly Malaysian and Indonesian, the teacher (the one sharing the story about Lan Fang Republic) was in fact a white Australian. Luckily it was a class discussing Indonesian and Malaysian literature and history rather than about linguistic skills thus the ethnicity of the teacher and us student was less relevant.

[@cohendarwin5365]

Well its because this want to keep hidden from Indonesian society. And later they (government or any malay radicals) made many books about lanfang, and its with their own perspective

There were no person in Singkawang had ever told me about the Lanfang Republic. I never thought or heard about it at all, even the "keyword/clue" of the story. I don't know why the history was lost, but thanks to your video now I can tell them the story.

The Langfang Republic, vassal of the Qing Dynasty, straddling the equator far from their homeland. While white Raja kings were ruling their own kindgom in Sarawak. All the while among headhunter locals and aggressive European colonial powers. Borneo is fascinating! Just FYI I'm from California and I've done a good amount of research on the Chinese immigrants and miners that also went there. A few of your images, for sure the one at 7:38, are pictures from California and the 1849 Gold Rush. Not Borneo or Kalimantan. About 600,000 Chinese migrated to California through San Francisco from about 1840-1900 to work in mines and build the railroads. They weren't always treated great in tte US, but still its a long legacy establishing Chinese Americans. Maybe inspiration for another video. 😊
