When I visited Penang as Filipino, there is something special about the place, makes me feel at home. I think my ancestors maybe came from this island, I don’t know there’s this vibes.

These people are "Kinmenese overseas"（金僑）. In some contexts, they can be considered a part of the broader "Taiwanese" identity since Kinmen is part of the Republic of China (Taiwan). Therefore, "Kinmenese overseas" can be seen as both Kinmenese and Taiwanese. However, this identity may vary depending on different historical backgrounds, political stances, or personal identification. Some people there might emphasize their identity as Kinmenese, especially when distinguishing themselves from people from Taiwan's main island. In other situations, they may also identify as Taiwanese. Thus, "Kinmenese overseas" can be considered "Taiwanese," but they can also be recognized as a distinct "Kinmenese" group depending on the context.
We are all Chinese. The people of Kinmen must have moved there from Fujian in the mainland, like the Hoklo (Minnan-speaking) Taiwanese. We are all Hokkian lang.
This is crazy! I made a video over a yeah ago in Penang and talked about how much it reminded me of Kinmen. Someone shared this video there and ahhh! It’s insane to watch this and see that the connection I saw is actually real.
The Chinese diaspora carries the genetic memory of generational migration across lands and seas, all in search of a better life for themselves and their children.
Fukenese or Fukien are atrocious transliteration of Hokkian (less correctly, but most commonly, spelt Hokkien). From a Malacca Hokkian, now resident in Sydney, whose parents came from Beh Hang(Maxiang) in Tong'an (Tangwa(nasalised)).
The people on taiwan island cry all day about not wanting to be identified as Chinese, yet they do the exact same thing to the people of kinmen by forcing them to identify as taiwanese
They've always pined for home and were the biggest investors after the initial shock from Nixon's visit. It's not a stretch to say that their role in prc's economic development was crucial. Political development not so much, and now they're disappointed again
Those times that was China south provinces (that is why you hear malay words of Austronesian). not what the Government want anyone to know or remember that.
Vibrant democracy where maverick politicians can collect small donation from younger voters to buy 120mill apartment for his son. Or where the President could forge a thesis to get a PHD from a fake degree mill in UK. At least Najib obtained a real degree from a lousy university in UK.
Vibrant democracy? 😂 When Taiwan was still ruled by the KMT autocratic regime, we already had popular election. Plus Malaya was still under British colonial rule when their ancestors arrived, they did not “gave up” anything cuz they’ve been “living” there for centuries.
So many people from around the world are still looking to move to Malaysia even today. Look up videos of people from UK, Sweden, Canada, Australia, Japan etc2. Ask yourselves why. And despite its flaws, Malaysia is the most democratic country in Southeast Asia for years. So yeah, it is the most vibrant democracy in ASEAN according to multiple global democracy indices. And also one of the most peaceful countries in the world as well. Something that Taiwan nor China will never be because they’re busy cutting each other’s throats 😂

Kinmen people share more with Xiamen people that with Taiwanese 😂
There are many Kinmen settled in Brunei, too.
这个 kampong 前面靠海的地方有一个海珠屿大伯公庙。更久前大概18世纪就已经有客家人上岸了，三位客家领袖的坟墓还在那座庙旁边，是槟城的开拓先驱之一。比这些金门人来的更早。
Hence Taiwan and Penang look almost exactly and feel similar too today.
They feel similar because all their immigrants came from Fujian. Hence their traditions were carried over.
Awesome show

To my knowledge, many Fujian people returned to China in the 50s and settled down in Kinmen and Matsu 🙏🙏.

Their accent is kind of strange to a native Taiwanese. I am wondering if their accent is more similar to Fukenese?

你指的是现代规范汉语还是闽南语？
如果是现代规范汉语，那答案就是都不是，也都是（既不完全像台湾和中国福建，但也有相似的部分（指的是台湾南部的台湾国语和中国闽南的地瓜腔），应该说更像原始的地瓜腔和原始的台湾国语，而不是现代化的地瓜腔和台湾国语）
如果是闽南语，槟城闽南语是偏漳腔的混合腔/漳泉滥，而且还受到部分的潮汕腔影响，所以跟主流是偏泉腔的台语在音和调方面不一样，但台湾也有部分地区是偏漳腔的，那个地区的本省人就会觉得两者的闽南语很相似
Because they’re not Taiwanese 😂 their accents are closer to that of Xiamen / Amoy
杨忠礼是金门人，他捐给金门的钱是亿级
Kinmen is part of Fujian province according to the PRC and the ROC.
难怪啦。。。我 2017 年去那里做大学作业遇到一个老 uncle，他的福建话跟槟城主流北马腔差很远，听到很辛苦。还有一个 uncle 跟我讲他是金门人。那时候客家大伯公庙后面的小山丘 renovate 成 avatar secret garden 出名一阵子，很美咯... 可惜后来MCO之前就关了，现在被废弃了...
Touching story 😌
The people on taiwan island cry all day about not wanting to be identified as Chinese, yet they do the exact same thing to the people of kinmen by forcing them to identify as taiwanese
A beautiful story and it is true. When will the Chinese people in Taiwan have the same feelings about their homeland and wish to return ?
They've always pined for home and were the biggest investors after the initial shock from Nixon's visit. It's not a stretch to say that their role in prc's economic development was crucial. Political development not so much, and now they're disappointed again
@@jyy9624 Diaspora people have found their home and homeland. They only wish to visit China just to learn about their ancestors and distant relatives.
When will they wish to "return"? When hell freezes over, I'd say.
@@施素珊Return visit to relatives if they are alive. Or if they were dead by civil war, no reason.
@@施素珊Kinmen people are not Taiwanese 😂
But Kinmen is not really Taiwan tho
他們與廈門只有一水之隔，親戚都在對面，情感上是比台灣島更深.
A lot of women originally from Kinmen intermarried with Mamak guys or Tamil Indian men.
What is in penang guys
家廟什麼時候能讓女性進啊 都21世紀了 女性不是家的一份子嗎 沒有女性 家撐得起來嗎？
現在，正確來說應該不是台灣金門吧，應該是中華民國福建省金門縣嗎😅？馬來西亞的金門人都是說是家己是福建金門人。
Those times that was China south provinces (that is why you hear malay words of Austronesian). not what the Government want anyone to know or remember that.
"Indonesian and Malay" 😢
Kinmen is part of fujian province under ROC administration and not part of taiwan province
do you know what you are talking about?😂😂😂😂
apa perbezaan antara ROC dengan Taiwan?
@@silentboomber ROC currently holds two provinces which is Taiwan and Fujian so yes i know what im talking about
@@suhaibzeidi7240Actually technically 3. Taiping is under Guangdong jurisdiction.
这种呆弯自嗨视频进来看看笑话就好了😂
Taiwan means chinese lo
Kinmen is not taiwan
gave up living in a vibrant democracy with human rights to move to…. Malaysia?!?! 😂
What's wrong with Malaysia? Your country is no better.
Those were trouble times. They moved elsewhere to escape hardship and war. Would you do the same if you were in their situations?
