The Hakka Diaspora | The history and migrations of Hakka

[@soundrat]

Thanks for explaining the Hakkas. I renewed my fascination with the Hakkas. I’m am born and raised in New York City. My father is from Hubei and my mother is 100% Cantonese Hakka but born and raised in Tsingtao in Shantung. I don’t know much about my father’s people but while I never learned how to speak Hakka but am heavily influenced by my mother’s Hakka heritage. Experiencing my mother’s bravery, hardworking, and kindness, I am proud to be half Hakka.

Makes me proud to be Hakka from my mother's side

Thank you so much for this video! I’m Hakka lived in America since 3 yrs old and will be traveling to Huizhou where my father was born. 👏👏👏

I went with a friend to Xingning her family home for a week and was so impressed by the beauty and kindness of the people. Also the food is wonderful.

My grandfather was born in Meizhou. He migrated south to Penang with his father when he was just a child. You've offered so many valuable insights in this video that resonated deeply with me. Thanks for that. What a marvellous project you're embarking on.

I'm hakka origin. My dad left Kwantung, Shantou via Dabu Meixian in the 1930ish landed in Singapore then Malacca (Malaysia). I'm longing to visit my dad's home town in Fuzaitang one day and make a video of the past history. There wasn't any civil war between the hakka and cantonese people during that time that led the Qing gov to intervene. It was the religious (christianity) uprising called the Taiping Rebellion against the Qing Dynasty with the help of some foreign power in 1950-1964 (14 years war) over land distribution issue. The Qing gov were better equipped and also with the support of some foreign power on their side to defeat the Hakka led forces. Your video some how interesting as I recalled how my dad told us his story when he first landed in Nanyang at the age of just 14 with my uncle. almost everyone that left for overseas were of Hakka origin but some had already adopted cantonese, hokkien culture and their dialects as they lost their own culture. The Punti people (Kwangtung and Fujian people don't leave their prevaleged lands).

[@yanyangoaroundinchina]

For the civil war between Hakka and Cantonese, please refer to the book 被遗忘的战争 The Hakka-Punti War in Guangdong 1854-1867, written by 刘平，professor from Fudan University. I do not agree with every detail in the book, but it's a good starting point to know this history. As to the Taiping Rebellion, I agree it was also a major factor that caused the chaos in Meizhou and many Hakka leaving home.

[@difengliu8791]

Why the distracting music which drowns the narrative?

[@utubegeronimo7628]

Hakkas are the industrious type Govinda tells me of a community who forms part of the Malaysian Chinese populace. His spouse is a typical Hakka who gives her Tamil husband five kids.

[@thiensu73]

Can you describe 8 county in Fujian province?

[@yanyangoaroundinchina]

长汀、宁化县、清流县、归化县(今明溪县)、连城县、上杭县、武平县、永定县 consisted of the ancient Tingzhou in west Fujian Province. But in today's 南靖县, there are also Hakka.

I am a Taipo hakka but I do not know which area my ancestor came from. Can anyone enlighten me please? I am an elderly woman living in Denmark.

I'm not Hakka. I'm from where the Fuhe River converges into the Gan River (Nanchang City).

[@chrishew3163]

Thank you very much for your video. It is educational and entertaining for those of us who are interested in Hakka history. Narration in English language is also very helpful to overseas Hakka communities who may not be educated in Chinese language. 👍👏

In Ming dynasty, shaozhou belong Fujian?

Cantonese also practice double burial for many centuries. There was no conflict between Hakka and Cantonese people in Zengcheng County east of Guangzhou. They got on well and today half of the population of Zengcheng are Hakka. Because of this Zengcheng was one of the most prosperous of the migration areas of the PRD and sent far fewer people overseas. Many Zengcheng Hakka migrated to Malaya. You can learn a lot of the history of Cantonese by studying the Hakka.
