I’m a New York City- born and raised Chinese American. My mother is Hakka and while I never learned to speak Hakka since Mandarin is what was spoken at home, I was heavily influenced by my mother’s ways. I experienced her courageous, hard-working, talented, and kindness and am proud that I am half Hakka.
Fuichiu Hakka comes from Danshui. I am Fuichiu Hakka also. Anyone able to provide me the correct address in Danshui, Fuichiu so I can pay my respect to my ancestors will be appreciated
We are happy to see young people introducing the culture of the Hakka people. The Hakka people deserved high respect because of their hardworking and helpful character.
I’m very privileged had an opportunity to work in the Hakka community in guangdong. Knowing very few cultures tradition about Hakka, as well as unique dialect of Hakka. The Hakka food is extremely delicious, and local Hakka people are very friendly.

I'm Hakka from Mauritius island. YanYan I do admire you for your dedication to promote our Hakka Heritage, culture and history. From the bottom of our heart ❤️ we feel grateful. By the way, there was a very noble personality in our island you may not notice. His name is Sir Moilin Ahchuen. I'm willing to supply material to you if you are interested.
Hello i am hakka from tahiti , my grand father came from loongkong a city 100 km from hong kong, i still speak hakka ( speaked hakka with hakka from guyane, australia , Hainan)
I learned about Hakka(客家) for the first time when we travelled to Penang, Malaysia. I was fascinated about Hakka from dining Hakka food to discover that Hakka people pronounce many Chinese characters as Koreans do. I felt there has to be some link. There aren't many studies made on this area but I think there is a huge discoveries to be made. I am too old to do that now, near 90 yrs old.
Yes there is chemistry between Hakka people(or some of them) and Koreans. It’s at the genetic level. Kithans/Hakka originated from thereabouts, dongbei north of Korea I think. Also think Tang Dynasty remnants settled Korea. Could check up Joseon Korean Dynasty. They created current Korean alphabets, if not wrong.
I heard the Hakka capital was Meizhou in Northwest Guangdong. Thanks for sharing this amazing place. I especially love the maps and the explanation of history. YOU HAVE A LOYAL NEW FOLLOWER! :) I dream of going to historic places of China someday but I think it is too complicated, as of now for an American to go there. I am living in Borneo Malaysia right now, Sabah, and many Hakka migrated here in the past. They created some amazing food like Sabah Chili Pan Mee which is one of my favorite dishes ON EARTH! Keijia people are so nice and so cool!
Meizhou is the ancestral place of most overseas Hakka due to its geographical location. I have a video for this part of story ruclips.net/video/78FQNMroecc/видео.html. As a result, people gave Meizhou a name 世界客都。 It's hard to translate but I would translate it as Capital of Overseas Hakka. But some people just translate it as Hakka Capital, which is incorrect. Despite of the geopolitical tensions, there's no problem for an American to travel in China. There's no hatred towards American people in the society. It's very safe to travel in China even for an American. So welcome to the historical places and modern cities in China, Ray!
@@yanyangoaroundinchina anch'io ho sempre saputo che la Meizhou è considerata la capitale degli Hakka. La mia ragazza cinese ha i genitori che sono della zona di Meizhou.
What a nice video in English!! I am hakka from indonesia. My grandparents are from Meixian Guangdong. I have been to Taxia village and tulous in Fujian province, the place where Lin Dan was born ❤
Thank you! I didn't know Lin Dan is Hakka. I guess you are his fan. During my Hakka cultural trip last summer, I went to Meixian as well. The Hakka houses there are completely different from Hakka Tulous. I also visited a port where Hakka from Meizhou including Meixian started their journey to Southeast Asia. It's called Songkou. A hotel there was built by Hakka from Indonesia in 1950's. I'll continue editing and uploading these videos this year.
@@yanyangoaroundinchina yes I m so sad to know my grandparents were having hard time in China and they migrated to Indonesia. They are so brave. Please upload the video about Meixian and Songkou!
@@yanyangoaroundinchina yes Lin Dan is a hakka born in Longyan I believe. And so Chen Hong another badminton player born in Changting :) Where are you from Yanyan?
Firstable, thank you Yan Yan for this infomative video about Hakka people. A part of me was Cháozhōu (Father side) and Hakka (Mother side) i was born as Overseas, on some small island in Indonesia, where the Overseas there dominated by Hakka who's speak Fui chew variant. I always fascinated with my Hakka root because this Dialect is the only Chinese dialect I capable spoken. Not a single a word in Cháozhōu dialect 😂 I'd like to add some more information about successful Overseas Hakka people (if you don't mind) from Indonesia : 1. Cheong Fatt Tze / Zhāngbìshì ( 張弼士) , originally from Dabu, Meizhou. It said when he died in Batavia (Jakarta now) 1916. The British colony raise a flag half pole to honour him. His Wine business still running now adays in China (Changyu Castel brand) 2. Low Fang Pak / Luófāng bó ( 羅芳伯) who established Lanfong/ Lanfang Republic on Borneo Island, 1777. 3. Tjong A Fie / Zhāng'āhuī ( 張阿輝 ) originally from Meixian, Guangdong. Successful build his business from scratch, friend with North Sumatra Sultan (Deli Sultan) and Dutch Colony, This guy name was more famous than Cheong Fat Tze, event the late Fat Tze was richer. Tjong A Fie died in Medan (North Sumatra) 1921. His Mansion still preserved until these day as Tjong A Fie Museum. and probably there's some more names that I forgot to mention 😊 Cheers.
Langfong Republic can claim to be the first Chinese republic, it was destroyed by the Dutch. There was another Chinese “country” on an island in now Indonesia, it sought recognition as a Ming province from the Ming emperor but was denied, so the founder declared it a kingdom, I believe it was also destroyed by the Dutch!
Your presentation is impressive, carefully researched, despite not a Hakka! 👍 I am a Malaysian Hakka residing in Australia. My parents came from somewhere in Danshui, Huizhou, Guangdong.
From your last name, I think you are 淡水叶氏, right? I visited the Hakka houses of the Ye (Yap) clan in Huizhou and will upload a video later this year about the houses, the stories of Yap Ah Loy and Kuala Lumpur and many other things about the Ye clan in Huizhou. Stay tuned!
overseas chinese and hakka are different, i do learn plenty from your informative videos about china. Hakka capital ? thought it just people that lived in rural regions
I would argue that the Imperial exam hasn't really ended, but today evolved into the revered Goakoa Exam. Meritocracy is still being practiced pretty much as it has been 1300 years ago.
Those who entered the final round of Imperial Exam (殿试）would be granted a governmental official position. In contrast, Gaokao is just a college entrance exam. It does not automatically guarantee a position in the government. It doesn't even guarantee a job. Nowadays graduates from top universities could still be jobless.
Just some history nerd info and I discussed this with Chinese people before. I don't think it translates correctly so many people label things that are older than even 100 years old, "ancient". Ancient history - Is everything before about the year 500 AD of recorded history which goes back about 5,000 years.

@@freedloh9049 I am not a Hakka. I accidentally visited the Hakka Walled Houses in south Jiangxi Province four years ago. I started reading about this group. I was fascinated by the different types of Hakka houses and made several trips to the Hakka area. It turned out the more places I go and more people I talk to, the more I learn. This process is still going on and there are a lot more places on my bucket list.
What a charming city. I much prefer seeing this kind of place in China where at least there are historical buildings constructed before 1949. Very few buildings built under Communism hold any attraction to me; they are stilted, faux-grandiose for a political purpose, out of character to the lanscape (Feng Shui), and poorly constructed. Old China buildings, especially classical buildings, are built for endurance, have history, largely non-egotistical functionality, have good Feng Shui and a classical China architecture style. This is what educated Westerners want to see. Wonderful.
13:50 That is a beautiful watchtower! When was it built (I assume before the Ming Great Wall, 1500s, since you said that these hollow watchtowers inspired the ones on the Great Wall)? How old is the city wall in general?
I think the current city wall was restored in 2012. The original wall was torn down or collapsed. The section on the hill was restored in 2019 and that's when the watchtower you mentioned was built. Does the answer disappoint you? I just did some research. The watchtowers on the wall of Tingzhou were different from the ones on the Great Wall. They were just small shelters called 窝铺。The original ones might have been constructed in 1371. There were 81 of them.
@@yanyangoaroundinchina Thank you for your response. Well, I was hoping that watchtower was older. Are there any original ones still in good condition. How much of the wall remains from 1371? I wish China would not reconstruct these buildings so we could see the original structures, even if they're ruins now.
Correction : hakka are immigrants originated from western asia Bactria plain (land of precious horse). They are brought back by Tang military on their retrieve from west land, at the edge of Tang glorious days end. Their were part of Tang dynasty military. That is why hakka regard them selves as "Tang Ren" not "Han Ren". ❤
Why are the Hakka says, that they originating only from Han's when Mingxi ordinary peaples considers that they have origines connected to Hun-s, too... I am think soo, becuase one of my father ancestors, had come from China...
Все представители народа хакка, должны знать, что родиной хакка является корея ( Чосон) В разные времена корейцы переселялись на юг.китая, а от туда на Тавань, Сингапур и другие страны мира.
Hi Yan Yan, glad that RUclips pushed your contents and learned some interesting info’s about Hakka people history, thank you. I m a Hakka myself, surname Yap, a 4th generation Chinese born in Malaysia. My ancestor from Sha Keng, Hui Yang, Hui Zhou and have visited my ancestor Tulou once but no one there seems to know exactly from which linage my great grandfather originated from cause those relatives that knows my great grandfather had all pass away at the time of my visit. It has been over 50 years now since my great grandfather pass away and over 40 years prior to my visit there. Is there any chances to trace the linage from any government departments document if I don’t have my great grandfather father name but only my great grandfather mother name?
I also visited Huiyang and will make a video about the Ye(Yap) clan. It's a big and successful clan. Yap Ah Loy was also from this clan. You can try contacting 惠阳区外事侨务局。Contact them, provide as much information you have to them and see if they can come up with some way to find your great grandfather's name. Lee Chong We successfully found his ancestral village and his clansmen in Fujiang Province via this office in his ancestral city.
The particularity of our family is that the nail of our little toe is divided in two parts. I know that in a north region of China, some people have the same particularity.
hello, my great grandparents were Hakka in China. they had gone down to Cambodia as traders. Later, they made their fortune and helped all the Hakka who came from China. Can you tell me where Hakka came from before arriving near Guangdong? it seems that they came from Manchuria? Thank you so much.
I just looked up what econ-tourism means. That has not been a popular concept in China so far and I don't know any such program in the Hakka areas I visited.
@@yanyangoaroundinchina Thank you very much for replying. There are beautiful nature and many historical sceneries. Is it to do with a marketing issue? If one wants to visit some of the places that you have been introduced to on your youtube, where can one find a place to stay? Sincerely
There are hotels in cities and county centers. But in the town-level and village-level, unless it's a tourism place, it's difficult to find a place to stay. So I planned my trip with cities and county center as basis. For example, I booked a hotel in Meizhou City for two nights. Then I would travel to the towns and villages in Meizhou area during the day and go back to the hotel in Meizhou City. Then I would move to the next city or county where I booked a hotel.
from linguistic point of view, hakka has so much mandarin soundings that i suspect they were originally from the south, millions of them moved north following the taipin 's army coat tail and families, they lived in the north for a while hence had to learn mandarin, but couple generation passed, they moved back south as the taipin started to lose battles and they themselves were purged by northerners, and some northerners who had relation with also moved to south with them, hence one can see many of them moved back south in successive waves, ...today one can still hear them speak with northern influences, i.e. heavily peasant southerner tongue blended with mandarin accent ! Mystery solved. you hear from here first.
Hakka are Kithan/kithai /Cathay People. They married into noble Chinese houses, which formed Sui and Tang Dynasty. They followed their ideas, Not Chinese. But made plenty of claims as Han Chinese. Examples like Tang dowager promoting Hua Mulan ballad, who was Kithan xianbei against Rouran xianbei, as very “Han Chinese” like, to be accepted into China. Note how Disney promoted Hua mulan. Hakka have western bloodlines. Blond hair quite afew. But Tang and Hakka in truth flouted established Han Chinese principles and practices, like Confucian, as well as Taoist ones. Led to constant decline of China up to now. They likely do not acknowledge/revere/respect Yellow Emperor as founding establishment of China. Which all Chinese do. Their “own” idea. The Tang Dynasty maternal Kithan side, schemed and overthrew Tang, and took over western stretches of north China from east,somewhere above Korea. But the jurchens(jin) in turn took over eastern stretches of North China, leaving Kithans the Western stretch. Until the Mongols. Who I think were totally disgusted with them, and razed them barring Buddhist monasteries, to the ground. Southern Song China was strictly Han Chinese....until Song fell. And Kithan Hakka made their way into Han Chinese lands. Building fortress houses for some reason. Southern China was already settled. No idea why Kithan had to make their way there, from wherever they came from. Whereupon at a point, they plotted to massacre Cantonese people, for their lands. Was some collusion with Manchuria Qing. But after which Manchuria Qing sided with Cantonese against Hakka. Trust issues I Guess. Just like Lee Kuan Yew and Thaksin Shinawatra? Lee Kuan Yew did, and intended a lot of good. But it was led astray. Shinawatra? If you kept with the news, you’d know how it went. More revealing is in how they tried to bribe opinion in southern Thailand with over exorbitant rice prices, which were not requested by Farmers, and unaffordable by government or common sense. Lots of farmers were left hanging as a consequence at that time. Question of self dignity and actual worth....versus an overtopped unrequested indulgence, I Guess. Glad to see Thailand pretty steady at the moment, considering factors and comparing other states. Hope it stays. There appears to be a build up of Hakka blooded offsprings there.
@@yanliew4027 their language really nothing likes mandarin. Mandarin has a lot of tonguial voice which Hakkanese doesn't have. Hakkanese is a South Islanders' language. Mandarin and Hakkanese belong to different language systems.
@@峽羽773 fake history. According to historical records, Hakka was not classified as Han chinese during Ming and Qin dynasty. They have their own tribal law that different from general Han region. Hakka classified as Han people during Republic of China era. At that time, ROC invaded by Japan. The southern ROC regime wanted to independent from ROC. For propaganda purpose, the government made up a story about Hakka migration from the north to keep the country united.

I am from Singapore. The surname "Chong" and "Chin" 95% are Hakka.
and "Yong" too
Все представители народа хакка, должны знать, что родиной хакка является корея ( Чосон) В разные времена корейцы переселялись на юг.китая, а от туда на Тавань, Сингапур и другие страны мира.
Hi Yan Yan, glad that RUclips pushed your contents and learned some interesting info’s about Hakka people history, thank you. I m a Hakka myself, surname Yap, a 4th generation Chinese born in Malaysia. My ancestor from Sha Keng, Hui Yang, Hui Zhou and have visited my ancestor Tulou once but no one there seems to know exactly from which linage my great grandfather originated from cause those relatives that knows my great grandfather had all pass away at the time of my visit. It has been over 50 years now since my great grandfather pass away and over 40 years prior to my visit there. Is there any chances to trace the linage from any government departments document if I don’t have my great grandfather father name but only my great grandfather mother name?
I also visited Huiyang and will make a video about the Ye(Yap) clan. It's a big and successful clan. Yap Ah Loy was also from this clan.
You can try contacting 惠阳区外事侨务局。Contact them, provide as much information you have to them and see if they can come up with some way to find your great grandfather's name. Lee Chong We successfully found his ancestral village and his clansmen in Fujiang Province via this office in his ancestral city.
The particularity of our family is that the nail of our little toe is divided in two parts.
I know that in a north region of China, some people have the same particularity.
hello, my great grandparents were Hakka in China. they had gone down to Cambodia as traders. Later, they made their fortune and helped all the Hakka who came from China. Can you tell me where Hakka came from before arriving near Guangdong? it seems that they came from Manchuria? Thank you so much.
Please check out the video I made on Hakka's Migration: ruclips.net/video/TOOgnKOi0pk/видео.html

Thank you for presenting this work, and if I may as is there an eco-tourism in this Hakka area that you have been presenting? Sincerely Sar Kong
I just looked up what econ-tourism means. That has not been a popular concept in China so far and I don't know any such program in the Hakka areas I visited.
@@yanyangoaroundinchina Thank you very much for replying. There are beautiful nature and many historical sceneries. Is it to do with a marketing issue? If one wants to visit some of the places that you have been introduced to on your youtube, where can one find a place to stay? Sincerely
There are hotels in cities and county centers. But in the town-level and village-level, unless it's a tourism place, it's difficult to find a place to stay. So I planned my trip with cities and county center as basis. For example, I booked a hotel in Meizhou City for two nights. Then I would travel to the towns and villages in Meizhou area during the day and go back to the hotel in Meizhou City. Then I would move to the next city or county where I booked a hotel.
@@yanyangoaroundinchina Dear Yanyan, thank you very much for the information. Sincerely, Sar Kong.
I know Ngai and my dna states that I have ~25% Chinese Dai
In Vietnam Hakka are call Ngai literally mean "I" ...LOL.
@@Utube1024 Nga.i means I. Nga'i Wa. means Ngai' language
What does Hakka mean?
Hakka means Guest Family or Guest People.
@@Utube1024 Ohhh interesting!
from linguistic point of view, hakka has so much mandarin soundings that i suspect they were originally from the south, millions of them moved north following the taipin 's army coat tail and families, they lived in the north for a while hence had to learn mandarin, but couple generation passed, they moved back south as the taipin started to lose battles and they themselves were purged by northerners, and some northerners who had relation with also moved to south with them, hence one can see many of them moved back south in successive waves, ...today one can still hear them speak with northern influences, i.e. heavily peasant southerner tongue blended with mandarin accent ! Mystery solved. you hear from here first.

Mauritius had a well known Meizhou Hakka leader in my time.
I hope YanYan will do some research on Sir moilin Ahchuen.

Hakka are Kithan/kithai /Cathay People. They married into noble Chinese houses, which formed Sui and Tang Dynasty. They followed their ideas, Not Chinese. But made plenty of claims as Han Chinese. Examples like Tang dowager promoting Hua Mulan ballad, who was Kithan xianbei against Rouran xianbei, as very “Han Chinese” like, to be accepted into China. Note how Disney promoted Hua mulan. Hakka have western bloodlines. Blond hair quite afew.
But Tang and Hakka in truth flouted established Han Chinese principles and practices, like Confucian, as well as Taoist ones.
Led to constant decline of China up to now.
They likely do not acknowledge/revere/respect Yellow Emperor as founding establishment of China. Which all Chinese do. Their “own” idea.
The Tang Dynasty maternal Kithan side, schemed and overthrew Tang, and took over western stretches of north China from east,somewhere above Korea. But the jurchens(jin) in turn took over eastern stretches of North China, leaving Kithans the Western stretch. Until the Mongols. Who I think were totally disgusted with them, and razed them barring Buddhist monasteries, to the ground.
Southern Song China was strictly Han Chinese....until Song fell. And Kithan Hakka made their way into Han Chinese lands. Building fortress houses for some reason.
Southern China was already settled. No idea why Kithan had to make their way there, from wherever they came from.
Whereupon at a point, they plotted to massacre Cantonese people, for their lands. Was some collusion with Manchuria Qing. But after which Manchuria Qing sided with Cantonese against Hakka. Trust issues I Guess.
Just like Lee Kuan Yew and Thaksin Shinawatra?
Lee Kuan Yew did, and intended a lot of good. But it was led astray.
Shinawatra? If you kept with the news, you’d know how it went.
More revealing is in how they tried to bribe opinion in southern Thailand with over exorbitant rice prices, which were not requested by Farmers, and unaffordable by government or common sense. Lots of farmers were left hanging as a consequence at that time.
Question of self dignity and actual worth....versus an overtopped unrequested indulgence, I Guess.
Glad to see Thailand pretty steady at the moment, considering factors and comparing other states. Hope it stays. There appears to be a build up of Hakka blooded offsprings there.
你的分析简直是无稽之谈，你的说法基本全是错误的，木兰是汉人还是鲜卑人，我们谁也不知道，客家人是汉人的分支
Hakka is not chinese. Hakka is minority ethic group just likes Tibetan. Independence of Cantonia and MinYuet.
OMG, such a loser 😂
It was presumed hakkas were chinese from the north, their speech sounds like mandarin ! Can u imagine hakka was spoken in the early times ?
@@yanliew4027 Confirmed by historians' research and studies, from central plains(中原) which the major part of it to the south of yellow river.
@@yanliew4027 their language really nothing likes mandarin. Mandarin has a lot of tonguial voice which Hakkanese doesn't have. Hakkanese is a South Islanders' language. Mandarin and Hakkanese belong to different language systems.
@@峽羽773 fake history. According to historical records, Hakka was not classified as Han chinese during Ming and Qin dynasty. They have their own tribal law that different from general Han region. Hakka classified as Han people during Republic of China era. At that time, ROC invaded by Japan. The southern ROC regime wanted to independent from ROC. For propaganda purpose, the government made up a story about Hakka migration from the north to keep the country united.
Lee Kuan Yew was not a Hakka . He was a Peranakan .
Lee Kuan Yew mentioned in his Book that that his father is a Hakka.
@@yongwkeeThat sounds good enough to me!
I recall Lee Kuan Yew speaking Malay in a style that's definitely point blank far from being Peranakan.
Peranakan still Chinese culture. My mother side was Peranakan she spoke Hokkien (Minan) and Malay but all customs are Chinese.
@@Utube1024 Yes, that is correct.
And the next generation will no longer speak their mother tongue
