Wonderful and informative video, Nico and Jack. Thank you. Yes, my sister in law is a Hakka and they are supposed to be a wandering tribe and have no fixed address. The word Hakka or Kek Chia is literally mean guests. The Hakka and the Cantonese migrated to one town in Malaysia called Ipoh when the British recruited them to assist them in tin mining. They eventuallly formed into two gangs, known as Gee Hin and Hai San and fought pitch battle to extract tin ores. However, this fight between the two gangs were quickly quelled by a British Resident aka Governor of the State, Sir Hugh Low. The Hakka speaks a distinct language and the closest to it is ironically Cantonese if there is any similarities. In Malaysia the Chinese diaspora hailed from Guandong Province and Fujian Province as well and therefore predominantly Teochew, Hokkien, Hainanese, Hakka and Cantonese. Some like the Hainanese hailed from Hainan Island. They also dominate specific occupational group like the Hainanese in coffee shop, the Teochew in small street stores like fish balls soup, etc.

Since you love the culture of Tulous, I'd also like to invite you guys to my hometown of Kaiping in Guangdong Province one day, to see another kind of fortified residential houses called Kaiping Diaolou. In a sense, it tells another side of the story, which was to protect the Cantonese locals from bandits as well as the bitter conflicts with Hakka people. These buildings are located in now peaceful villages and it is also UNESCO's world cultural heritage. But of course, the conflicts have long gone, and now we live peacefully with all groups of people.

I am a Hakka, my great grandfather ventured out to South East Asia at the time the Qing Dynasty still ruled China. Life was tough then, both in & outside China. Just before the pendamic, an entourage of my family members visited the Hakka areas & tuluo in Guandong & Fujian province. We were deeply impressed. As overseas Hakka, we still keep/maintain our Hakka culture/heritage , speak the Hakka dialect & yes, the Hakka food. 😍

Thank you Nico for another excellent video on the Hakka Tulous. Your accounts on our (Hakka) history and culture are spot on👍. I am glad you point that we originated from Northern China, as there are historians (? ) who have wrongly said that we belonged to a foreign tribe. Our very 1st ancestors came from Taiyuan (太原), Shanxi Province ( 山西省)in Northern China, according to our clan's archive. In fact, our fellow villagers went all the way to Taiyuan a few years ago to "reunite' with our 'brothers' and 'sisters'. Our ancestors moved to Hong Kong about 3 hundred years ago! I did myself migrate, like my ancestors did in the past, to the UK in 1982 to join my parents ( for economic reason) , but returned to HK at last. There is a large Hakka population in the UK🙂

I am a Hakka living in central Fujian Province. We first migrated from Shandong Province and arrived in Fujian around the Ming Dynasty, and we have some amazing local customs - like celebrating ancestors at the Mid-Autumn Festival rather than the Qingming Festival, which I am told is because of the need for family togetherness, both for the alive and the dead, and there is also talk that it It's thought that this is because of the shortage of materials.

I'm not quite sure if other Hakka people have this custom, because even though we live in a Hakka area, but I never used to know if I was considered Hakka because although we are immigrants, we don't have a tulou or speak Hokkinese, but this custom of worshipping our ancestors at the Mid-Autumn Festival is quite unusual, so I guess it's a rather special custom.

What Jack said regarding the Tulous being so well and equally distributed among the different families and that it was uniquely socialist centuries before society even coined the term socialism reminded me of the fact that socialism with Chinese characteristics is not a system that can be exported elsewhere. I heard it say that because of China's unique and at the same time diverse culture that values community and family above all else, where collective freedom and well-being is preferred over individualism and individual freedoms that China's system of governance fits it uniquely like a perfect pair of gloves. I was born and raised in the West and have been taught to value individuality and individual freedoms above all else. And this is sometimes at odds with millennia of teachings that family is above all else, not what we individually may aspire to - but the good of the family comes first. So, there is this constant tug of war within. As an example: most Chinese people would not think twice about wearing masks if they know they are protecting the vulnerable ones so they'd sacrifice the individual freedom of choosing not to wear a mask with the collective freedom of knowing wearing a mask protects me and my community so I will wear one regardless of how I feel about wearing them...

Hi a normal Hakka man here 😁. Check this out, I learned that most Hakka women are known to have strong characters (well all the women in my family, sisters, cousin, aunts, especially my grandmother can attest to this lol). Actually it's not all surprising if you understood the lives of our Hakka ancestors, you know the hardships of moving from place to place. Because of this Hakka women are known for not binding their legs because they have to work hard. Hakka women are often used in guerilla tactics during war times and some hold high official ranks.

Thanks for sharing the nice video, Nico. I am a Hakka in Malaysia, grandparents and parents originate from Moiyen (known in Hakka) now Meixian (in Mandarin). The family name is Chong (in Hakka), Cheong (in Cantonese), Zhang (in Mandarin), Teoh (in Fujinese) and what else, I don't know. Funny thing is the Hakkas are spread all over China and the world and the Hakka varies accordingly to the place they settled down over the ages. Hence, when I speak to my brother in law, another Hakka from Yongding (Fujian), I can hardly understand what he says. The same when I was in Taiwan, watching their Hakka TV program, no comprehendo but watching the Meixian TV, hey, that sounded my cup of tea. Hahaha. Btw, if you have a chance, check out old traditional famous Hakka "Mountain/Hill songs", it is funny and hilarious if you can understand what they sing. Keep up your good work and have fun. Cheers.

We have the same surname even though we originate from different parts of China. You are so right, and some would argue that Moiyen Hakka is the purest or original form of Hakka. I am from Guangdong province (rather my parents and grandparents are) from a district called Huadu (Fa-Tu) and I am Fa-Yen Hakka. I love listening to the Hill Songs, they are so spontaneous and such an integral part of who we are as Hakka people, I guess.

The only dialect group that do not bind the woman feet. In Penang, the Hakkas live in the hills and in the old days, these people had to bring the vegetables for sale in the market. On the way home, they had to carry sacks of rice to their homes up the hills. This is one dialect group whom the Japanese respected for their tenacity. Many of Hakkas fighting the Japanese died in Nanjing massacre. Though the Hakka is not large dialect group, the majority of the long march soldiers were Hakka. In Malaysian village where I spent my school holidays was known to fight the Japanese during WW2. This is one dialect group migrated where other dialect groups fear to tread and you can find them in many islands in the Indian and Pacific Oceans and the Carribbean

Hakka language was the ancient China's Mandarin. There are various variants of Hakka language as they came all over from the mid and northern China. But, modern Mandarin is replacing Hakka so I am not sure how long it will last. I envy your trip to the tulous because as a Hakka not from China, we rarely speak Hakka now. But, if there is a chance, I very much like to speak our family Hakka again.

My mother told me that a Chinese girl disguised herself as a man to fight in a war. It was in the fifties and I didn't think too much of it as I was 8 or 9 which as you know most boys at that age didn't think too much of little girls having been schooled in a Catholic boarding school of all places. Anyway, when Mulan movie I realized that my mom was telling the truth somewhat. I learned that all girls are taught about Mulan in Chinese school. It is a legend after all or is it? Recent they found a untouched tomb of a female general Fu Hao, 1200 BC (around the time of the Bronze Age Collapse with the "Seas People" or pirates) who was also a queen in the Shang Dynasty period. When the Chou Dynasty overthrew the Shang all references to Fu Hao disappeared. I watched the French version of Mulan 2009 Zhao Wei as Mulan. I was wondering if the suppressed knowledge of Fu Lao was resurfaced as a legend of a female warrior just as Robbing Hood or Robin Hood was legend. You know, the Somali pirates as the west refers to them, were actually trying to enforce Somali water sovereignty as ships were tresspassing their waters without paying transit fees. Whatever these "pirates" gained they distributed to their local communities. Somali being a failed state, international ships trample on their sovereignty. Makes you wonder who is right and who is wring.

One thing that is not mentioned yet is that there are many types of spoken Hakka, and some are practically mutually unintelligible. It depends on where they migrate from and to. For example. Hopoh Hakka which is common in Sarawak, Malaysia is quite different from Bao’an Hakka which is common in Sabah, a neighbouring state. Moiyen and Taipu hakka again are also slightly different from the others. Hong Kong Hakka is more similar to Bao’an, Fuichiu, and Donggong. Bottom line is that when two Hakkas meet each other, they may not be able to fully understand each other! This situation is quite unlike Cantonese, Mandarin or English which tend to be quite universal except for slang words or accent.
