I am American but married a Taiwanese born whose mother is Hakka and father from mainland China. My children have Hakka lineage. My mother in law also went back to college at age 80 to get a masters degree with emphasis on Hakka culture. There is 100% an emphasis on education. My mother in law is also a wonderful, kind and giving person and always makes me feel very welcome when we go back to Taiwan each year. We still vacation together and my mother in law is in fantastic shape. We will celebrate her 90th birther next year. This video is amazing to see and I appreciate the high production quality and insight.
I'm half Hakka from my dad's side. Hakka people really do know how to "吃苦“ or to overcome hardship. Growing up, I would hear stories about my great grandpa who migrated to Vietnam in search of opportunity, and then of my grandpa who left his family from Vietnam to come back to Southern China. It seems like Hakka people love seeking opportunities abroad and are also focused on their studies. My grandma and grandpa were both the first in their families to become teachers. My dad, through the 高考 college entrance exam was able to get into Tsinghua, the country's top university. He then moved overseas to the US with my mom and had me. Moved four times over the course of four generations. No wonder it seems like no matter where I go, I can find a Hakka.
I’m 1/8 Hakka descendant, still have a heart towards the word Hakka. 吃苦 seems like describing my life, I always believe how I can 吃苦 until today for I have Hakka root.
A Hakka woman epitomizes all the good characters of a wife, mother and daughter... resilience, responsibility, courage and wisdom. Whoever marries a Hakka woman has got a very great karma. Of course, Hakka men are also known for their foresight, loyalty, acumen and leadership. Whoever is married to a Hakka man is one who must have done a lot of good deeds in their past lives.
The Hakka are not Jews. They are Han Chinese who makes up 90% of modern Chinese. Just like Cantonese, Hakka are Han Chinese who have their homelands in Southern China. Although Hakka have a subculture, they still share huge common values, cultures and traditions as other Han Chinese. Hakka like Sun Yat Sen (the Father of Modern China) and Deng Xiao Ping (Chairman of China), contributed greatly to the modernisation of China. On the other hand, the Jews are very different from their neighbours, especially the Arabs, having culture, language, tradition and values very distinctive from the Palestinian, Turkish, Arabs, etc.
To be compared to a Jew is propaganda and nonsense. Nothing unique about Jews especially after being in Europe for Centuries and becoming like Nazis. The Hakka are real.
imo the creator just wanted to make that comparison in order to get views from the western audience, as no one knows what the hakka are, and the western audience probably need some comparison but he only mentioned it once or twice, so yeah
as Hakka descent, i hate to be compared to Jews, nothing is comparable, but whatever, i bet the western audience wouldn't understand a single minute of this video without this comparison, nice video btw.
@@markiec8914What a ridiculous comment. Jews are known for their remarkable intellect, work ethic, and support for civil rights. Let’s not forget Jews played a crucial role in many political movements for international peace. Same cannot be said about those people that refer to themselves as “The master race” -
I'm from Singapore. I love my Hakka friends and we laugh over the Hakka stereotypes they seem to have - cunning businesspeople and great with finances. Don't stress so much over it. Afterall, we are the subtotals of our ancestors.
Proud Hakka from Indonesia here. Dad came from Dabu village in Canton province, migrated here as a teenager, and made a better living for himself and us. Mom is a gen 2 but her father also came from Dabu. They raised me and my siblings with love and instill work ethic, perseverance, and love of learning. All with lots of delicious Hakka cuisine.
My mother is 100% Cantonese Hakka but was born and raised in Shantung China. She got her college degree in North Carolina while China turned communist during her freshman year. She and my father birthed and raised me in New York City. She taught me much about the history of the Hakkas and long after her passing, I experienced her brave, courageous, and industrious hard work ethics. I am very proud to be raised half Hakka and the values handed down to me. I know there are no group of people that is perfect but thanks for this video.
your history is abit hazy. Aside from buying lands very cheaply, they also stole lands and were very bad to anyone who is not their ethnicity. It was so bad that the people in Canton region went to war with the Hakka and was even extended to the Malay Peninsula. The Hakka was also not popular with the "others" non Han people like the She and Dan people. Hakka did not consider Han until late Qing. Their identity was later enforced through a series of political driven research.
The Hakkas have no existential threat that would cause their annilihation from Earth, israel meanwhile do. The israelis are willing to integrate, they are willing to accept two state solution and cozy up with their Arab Neighbours. But none of Israel’s Arab neighbours want israel to exist and launched an unprovoked war against the UN’s wishes to enforce their own interest and disregard the UN’s teo state solution. Now the Palestinians beg the UN to fix the problem that they started. How hypocritical they are.
@@dutchmilk thanks for that but I can't find the source ls that they stole land. I heard about the war but that is quite normal when there is a rise in power inbalance. They did live side by side peacefully for the most part with the Canton?!

I hope there will be one covering the Hokkiens. What made them left China in the masses towards SEA? Why do they keep calling themselves "Tng Lang" or Tang People? Why do Hokkien have similar words as Japanese? How did Hokkien branched out to different dialects in different locations, like Malaysian Hokkien, Singaporean Hokkien, Penang Hokkien, Baba Hokkien, etc? Were the Hokkien people part of the imperial palace in ancient times which an event forced them to move South? Did the Hokkiens migrate in the masses alongside Zhenghe, as many first arrival of Chinese Malaysians were Hokkiens. So many questions I'm curious to hear.
@@aldenteh9412Well, Hokkiens were among the first to migrate to Southeast Asia due to the fact that Fujian is a very mountainous region (which lead to the language branching out into very different dialects), and it's fairly difficult for development (which resulted in people traveling out for better opportunities), but also a very good defense against northern invasions (preservation of language and culture), they call themselves "Tng Lang" because most migrations to Fujian was, yes you guessed it right, during the fall of Tang Dynasty. As to why it sounds like Japanese, most of the writing and pronunciations of the Japanese language largely came from the Tang dynasty, so it makes sense that Japanese sounds more like the Southern Chinese languages than the northern ones.
I understand that your father is one of the greatest Chinese descent prime minister in Southeast Asia. My respects to your late father Prime Minister Lee. I’m half Hakka from my mother’s side.
Don't be fooled by foreigners who are half baked sinologist. Hakka, Minan, Cantonese people all migrated from north china during different warring period in China proper, except Hakka people came to the south a bit later, about 500 to a thousand years. That is all the difference. Since there were no radio or television in those periods, standard of pronunciation is non existence, the reason for different dialects we see nowadays.
Hakka are well known bureaucrats. Prime ministers Deng Xiao Ping, Tsai Ing Wen, Lee Kuan Yew, Basuki Tjahaja Poernama; they’re all Hakka. Many minority migrants in China were banned from enrolling for imperial exam, until a period when government allowed them to do so under the category of ‘hakka’. Thus, many minority migrants adopted that identity to join imperial exams. Hakka were also very involved in political movement, such as Borneo’s Lanfang republic and Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Their existence has complex layers; some anti Qing, but some were also sponsored by Qing to colonise lands emptied out by the great clearance, hence caused great conflict with traditional owners and indigenous people. Punti-Hakka war was one of the results, and also the reason why the earliest Chinese migrants in US were Taishanese. Hakka-s also were known to produce great generals during the Nationalist VS Communist war in China. They are never far from their affiliation with government bureaucracy, and were the benefactors of the Zhonghua reformist confucian movement in early 1900s in South East Asia.
Hakka language retains Old Chinese characteristics from before the various conquest dynasties that altered Northern Chinese languages, culture, and customs. But I was under the impression that many of their ancestors were powerful and rich clans who fled Northern China during the invasions from the Khitan Liao, Jurchen/Manchu Jin, or Mongol Yuan Dynasty. Since the Hakka originally were from Northern China, they maintained distinctly different culture/language from Southerners in Fujian, Guangdong, or Hainan, who are mostly descendants of Sinicized indigenous people. Most Chinese emigration from 19th century onwards into Southeast Asia and Americas are from these Southern regions, which is why many overseas Chinese spoke variations of dialects of Cantonese, Fujian, Hainan, or Hakka. If I'm not mistaken ancient Chinese texts collectively called them as 百越, probably because it was too difficult to differentiate and identify each group. For that reason, the genetic Haplogroup of Northern and Southern people are different. One of the genetic characteristics of the Southern Haplogroup O1 people is weak alcohol tolerance, which are genetic traits extremely rare in Northern Chinese, Mongolic, and Manchu people. (Weak alcohol tolerance is a common genetic trait for many irrigated rice farming people in Southern China, and Southeast Asia. Medically speaking, it has something to do with stronger resistance against infectious diseases such as Malaria that are common in irrigated rice-farming in warm weathers.)
I don't know about Hainan but our people frpm Guangdong and Fujian are not just sinicized native, we are a mix of sino people and bai yue people, in fujian it is more of a mix, and in guangdong it is more or less in certain areas, sino people have always came here in waves, which affects our genes, not making us as native as you might believe.
From what I had read, the Hakkas are descended from Han Chinese refugees that fled their homes along the Huang He region during periods of unrest and wars. They migrated south of the Yangtze River seeking refuges. However, most of the flat terrains are already settled forcing most Hakkas to settle along the highland and hill areas. The Hakkas then assimilated many hill tribes of southern China. Life in the highlands is tough and the hard life has motivated the Hakkas to strive for better life. As a result, many of China's best and brightest are of Hakka descent. Even many successful overseas Chinese are also of Hakka descent.
I'm half hakka on my mom's side. It's true that my maternal family including my mom have constantly amazed me with their fortitude through hard times and their basic attitude towards hardship seems to be that it's normal. She is also able to endure great pain - there was once when I was young and she was clearing this crafting table where there was a sharp saw piece and while wiping the table with sweeping motions, she swept her hand across the blade and cut herself quite badly. She just washed and wrapped her hand up and continued like nothing happened. She also has great energy and even at 70+ now amazes me with her stamina. In comparison, my father, who is Teochew, is like a spoilt brat.
Many of the original migrants to the west coast of the US do indeed not speak Cantonese, but neither Hakka, they speak other Guangdong province village dialects like Sayyup/Toysan. But those speakers are dwindling.
I speak the sayyip dialect and I am a third generation chinese, my ancestors belonged to the first waves of Chinese migrants to the Americas, I agree that dialect is dwindling and being replaced
@@GodsWheat the latest immigration waves from china are mostly mandarin speakers, you have some dialects mainly Fujian, the first immigrants to USA (railroad and gold miners) in the late 19th or early 20th century were from coastal areas like canton and toishan, think about chinatown they used to be mainly toisahnese speakers even now chinatowns around in america are dying and you can see pockets of non cantonese/toisahnese speakers popping up in other areas
I have Hakka in my blood and now I'm living in Australia, my grandma can still speak Hakkanes but my other family members can't speak at all. I heard a lot of bloody and sad history about the Hakka people from my granny about how they were forced to immigrate to Sichuan after the Ming dynasty had fallen and how they rebuilt their community and traditions in the new land. I could only speak Mandarin and Sichuan dialects I wish to pick up my ancestor's language again one day and extend family tradition.
If you grown-up speaking hakka and schooling speaking Cantonese then emigrate like me England speaking English, the only people you talk to is your parents and siblings is like duck to water . Now parents are gone all siblings moved away most the time if we chat it be in English maybe abit Cantonese abit of hakka . It's hard to find anyone who speak hakka most now speaking Cantonese because they from Hong Kong speak Cantonese, Sometimes I forgotten how to say something in hakka and dont how to say in Cantonese but only in English ?
To be fair, prime ministers of Singaporean have been Hakka (Lee Kuan Yew), at least two prime ministers of Thailand are Hakka (the brother and sister), and all Taiwan presidents are Hakka (yes, including Ma). Deng Xiaoping was Hakka but that's it for the CCP.

I first learned of the Hakka when I read “Hawaii” by James Michener. One of the main characters is a Hakka woman from China who was kidnapped and forced to the sex trade, and ends up in Hawaii, as that land needed laborers for the growing ag economy. Her stoic perseverance is symbolic of the original Chinese laborers who wound up in Hawaii in the 19th century…a world and ocean away but they persevered.
Nice meeting another descendant. Canton China to Vietnam to US. We have Hakka relatives all over the world - US, Canada, Australia, France, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia.
Haka are hardworking resilient people. Many haka women are involve in building houses. Hakas arr also in tin mining, as labourers, later many own tin mines and became rich in Malaysia.Hakas are rough and tough.I am a haka but I don't see why we should be associated with jews!!??
You are correct. The video maker is a kid brainwashed. The Jewish question is a 2000 year fight between middle-east and europe, not about in-group out-group nor persecution, and in NO WAY similar to anything in Asia..
what the video trying to say ; jewish famous for hardworking , smart , small numbers in population but outstanding from the crowd. Just like Hakka people as well 3% of people running so many outstanding politicians just like Sun Yat Sen ( modern founding father of China), Deng Xiao Ping, Lee Kuan you (Singapore founding father), Taksin (ex Thai PM } etc.
The most Hakka people are probably on the island of West Kalimantan, the city of Pontianak, Singkawang and Sambas. For Chinese New Year, this area is the most luxurious. In fact, Chinese New Year in Taiwan doesn't feel anything compared to West Kalimantan.
You are so right is The Eight immortals crossing the sea and before at 2.49 the young lady speaking hakka that's my dialect ,she said big family Good morning I just arrived here in Birmingham Chinatown /😂😂 she never said Chinatown she said Oriental street( is in England 🇬🇧 UK ) Yes i know in English we mixed it sound better i guess .
This was an excellent video, and as someone who's semi-successfully traced much of his own Hakka history (allegedly mid-1600s migration to Taiwan), this was wonderful to see the broader context and ripples of our migration. Thank you so much, would love to see more! Suggestion: I know the Japanese military at the time of war commissioned a document studying the military effectiveness/anthropology of Hakkanese people, but I'm unable to understand the primary document.
You are so right and is true now most my friends is hakka only speaking Cantonese or English and don't even speak hakka and most people only the old generation speak it 2nd generation 40 /50 year old still holding but their children 3rd generation none only speak the language from where they are born because most parents work no time to bond an like me my half she didn't even bother be teach my children and she speak 5 language and they only speak English.......Am so proud to be Hakka so proud of my parents moved to UK in the 60s .....met lots of Cantonese but not met any hakka people that I already don't know need new hakka friends uk
I concur. Am Hakka born and raised in a tiny Caribbean island myself. To actually hear the spoken Hakka language is almost as extinct as the dinosaurs.
@mattchen6137 oh I see your surname is Chen my uncle is chen and my father is chan from same father Guess the people did translation in government got two type of written surname......we from same Ancestors lineage
I am oversea Hakka. It seems there are a lot of Hakka in Timor, not sure why? But I am from Cambodia. Many thanks for making this video. Learn something new today. Cheers.
The ancestors of Timor Hakka came to Jakarta in the very late of the 19 century. However, at the time there had been many Hakka in Jakarta. Therefore, they were sent to Timor to take care of the business in Timor. My great grandfather sent his relatives to Timor. He was one of the Kapitein of Jakarta. Many of Timor Hakka have last name = Lay (Lee).
Cambojas has been destroyed because of the nomad chinese. You and your clan of nomad can go back to china along with your ancestors. Kambojas is the original name and we as a native has had enough. Real khmer that are not mix are Indians.
@@rothschildianumhi, have you gone back to China to find your Lay village? It's in moi yang somewhere. My cousin went with his family to find his fathers ancestral village and unexpectedly also found his mother's who is a Lay. Every person of Hakka origin should go back to China and find their ancestral village. Peace to you
@@Maverick-fh6fs Hi this coming December, I am going to go to Moyan to visit my great grandfathers' villages. Inonow the exact location of the house of my Lay side.
@@rothschildianum o that's great. Do you speak Hakka? Because you will be amazed at everyone speaking Timorese Hakka there. You could probably be related to my cousin if you came from the same Lay village.
Also in mid-1800’s Hawaiian Kingdom, the Hakka, while being only a few percentage points of Hawaii’s population, made up 1/3 of the Chinese population in the Kingdom
I’m Mvskoke. I love learning about distinct groups that defeat the test of time. Awesome to see all the descendants of the Hakka commenting on this video.
Very insightful of this underrated Chinese people. I had very regard of the Manchurian in Northeast China of the Qing Dynasty as one of the most influential.
The Manchus ruined China and the Qing dynasty was the worst and absolutely most shameful dynasty. Northern China lost its a lot of its class, respect, and culture as a result compared to Southern China.
I’m a British born Chinese. Was born in Manchester and I’ve grown up not knowing my ancestry like my mates at school . My grandma and grandad are Hakka Han and are from Hong Kong . Both passed away now (RIP). I’ve known the dialect since I was small as they would used to babysit for me and my little sister when they would visit in the UK. I’m like 3rd generation so we’ve had business restaurants and all sorts all over the UK since my grandad came into the uk many moons ago. Uncles aunties now grandparents themselves! I just find it incredible that through this video it’s given me such an insight to explore and trace my own roots Now that I’ve grown up and embraced my identity I’m thinking of going on a solo trip to Henan province and having an Indiana jones style trip will be soul searching !!!
Me too, mate. Me too. I have not forgotten my roots, but I have lost my ancestral dialect. I am a Cantonese speaker, but I knew from my father's stories that my grandfather was Hakka. No wonder he was so influential in his career after his migration to the British Colony of Hong Kong.
Great program. Always love learning about origins of the different races . Would you be able to research on the Hokkien People ? Thanks ...Keep it up...Appreciate All I'm able to learn
im not a hakka but i must to said that in east malaysia (sabah) the hakka has a big impact on our culture, history, economics and political in our place and even from the hakka we sabahan got our founding fathers and father of independence (gladly i speak our borneon pride) so shortly to said that the hakka is our father and there are our son and daughter that we love and respect.🙏 thanks for the creators to make this video keep up the good work 👍.
Nice video! I'm Hakka born and raised in Costa Rica, my father was born and raised in Taiwan, so my family also has mixed japanese customs, cause you know... Japanese ocupation of Taiwan.
first hakka existed due to the eastern capital's collapse, which got absolutely ravaged. Today that city is kaifeng and a different population, different language, different city layout, so its quite ridiculous for them to return to kaifeng
I love the Jewish connection. We always,and I mean always have been a special kind of people. Especially smart. Knowledge is the key. Reading and writing a given. Thinking that is different. They did not bind feet. I'm a Jewish woman from America. Always interested in Jews of the world. In every country, we have remained true to who we are. We are so special. Always have to flee. Always survived
Except it’s wrong, because there are actual Jews who’s been in China for hundreds of years, some of whom have even emigrated to Israel under the laws of return. So it’s a bit weird to refer to the hakka as jews of China when there’s literally jewish communities there
Hakka migrated and isolated themselves from different eras and dynasties within its conflicts and became their own ethnic and language just like many other ethnic from Zhongguo, just like the Hmong (Miao). We had a long history, too, started from Chiyou, who defended against Huangdi and Yandi, but after the loss, the Hmong migrated many directions. Those that were still recorded in Chinese history are the Miao during the San Miao and into the Chu state while trying to rebel unity within the warring state. Mayn countless battles happened and erased from history, but the last one was the Miao Rebellion during the Manchu Qing dynasty that had to use a southern great wall to block attacks from the Miao. Many lost and have migrated further south into indo china.
I'm half Hakka but hakka people actually consider themselves Han Chinese to make things less confusing, my other half is hokkien. And it is true, I'm not a Chinese national, most hakkas are living overseas
No, Hakka are Hakka. We are proud Chinese, doesn't matter where in the world we have landed. Have you gone and traced your linage. Gone back to China and visited your ancestral village? There are over 40 million Hakka speakers living around moi yang. Most Hakka live in China.
My friend told me that the New Zealand's Maori Haka also originate from Chinese Hakka clans. They learned and master it from the Chinese Hakka clans as a form of martial arts to scare or to protect them from adversaries. Is it true?

I’m half Hakka with 1/16 German blood from my mom and 1/4 hokkien and 1/4 techow from my dad . But we speak Cantonese and French at home because they met and lived in HK then moved to France.
except that we dont really give a shit who is what. we see ourselves as Chinese and theres that nothing more. We got actual enemies instead of creating some imagery to see who is more superior
"the official name... Hakka in Cantonese". Lol. Today I learn we're not called Hakka because we call ourselves Hakka in our own Hakka language, it's because that's what we're called "in Cantonese". LOL
Am hakka and I spoke Cantonese and hakka both sound the same only a tiny bit different high and low pit sounds and today after listening to this i find out why I understand sound bit of mandarin even I don't speak that language because Yes some hakka and mandarin mixed with hakka and sound mixed Cantonese. Growing up I always wonder Cantonese Japanese Korean ect ect why chinese writing look the same sound the same Guess because hakka is everywhere around the world.... So proud to be hakka
Once, my Jewish friend told me that two groups of people would be successful no matter where they went: Jews and Chinese. So, from her folks, the Chinese were the Jews in the East. However, she didn't know the real chosen people in the East were Hakka.

I am Hainanese and the Hainanese are mainly known for their specialties in the hospitality industry. I am sure you have heard of Hainanese chicken rice and Hainanese coffee 😊. Most coffee shops in South East Asia were pioneered by the Hainanese. And..they say that most Hainanese guys are good looking too 😂😂
@@bojongkia123 I couldn’t agree more. Hainanese in Malaysia does create some original authentic dishes out there. Does have a tone of Hakka & Hokkien dialect when spoken. Since in the line of the Hospitality industry, Charming & Charismatic is what I can truly think of with many years of experience
My grandmother was Hakka, a very kind, noble n loving lady who looked after us children with love n tenderness. She was a loving mother and the kindest woman I have ever known and loved. Please don’t associate my grandmother’s people with the Jews in Europe, there are so many nomad tribes in this whole wide world. Hers is distinct and noble.
I am 100% Hakka living in indonesia, with both paternal n maternal grandparents from moiyen, Meizhou. Tks to my parents who insisted us the children speaking Hakka as mother tongue that today I m still able to speak Hakka very fluently
Hey great video. Just want to point someone out, which you kind of covered, the Hakka are likely the OG Han Chinese people from Ancient China. They were from central China and the Hakka language is likely a very close relative of ancient Chinese, despite some people mistakenly believe that Cantonese are. Many countries that have borrow words from Chinese, its pronunciation sounds more like Hakka than Mandarin or Canto. The OG Chinese languages originally were Hakka, Wu language (modern day Wenzhou dialect), and Cantonese (very small minority like today). The two most notable Hakka southern migrations are during the fall of the Sima Jin Dynasty, and Tang Dynasty. Which saw a shift in the ethnic make up of what was considered Han Chinese. As Northern Chinese became increasingly different than Southern Chinese, due to ethnic mixing with nomadic tribes.
You can’t talk about OG Chinese languages without mentioning Hokkien, it’s on par with Hakka as a direct descent of Old Chinese. Cantonese can’t really be considered one since its descended from Middle Chinese like Mandarin.
Lmfao Cantonese, Hokkien, Hakka You southern regional chauvinists just love to claim that you are the real Chinese, don't you Confucianism is the heart of Chinese culture Confucius was born in the north Deal with it
@@mythrinThese aren't languages. They are regional dialects of ONE language, the Chinese language. This comment section is infested with linguistic and ethnic separatism that seeks to divide up China.
@@defaulttmc If you’re not Chinese you can shut your mouth. They’re separate languages by any meaningful metric of mutual intelligibility; dialects are a social construct that differ based on individual nations. Norwegian and Swedish are infinitely more mutually intelligible than Mandarin and Hokkien despite being classified as different languages. Accepting the reality that there exists many languages, ethnic groups, and rich historical intricacies in China isn’t dividing the country you bigot.
@jasonsoo6138 Oh yeah you are right forgot about the Min people. I think the Min and Hakka are probably the ones that are most similar to ancient Han Chinese. Hakka was similar to the northern dialect while Min more so to the South I believe. But agree, Canto is much later, which is why it kinda annoy me that Canto speakers esp. ones from HK believe Canto is closest to what ancient Chinese sounded like 🙄
@@lyhthegreat Really? Only 3 of Canton/ Guangzhou's 10 districts have small clusters of Hakka villages. Also not many. Hakka people in other districts are individual workers from outside of Canton. Don't exaggerate. You better say whole of Beijing are Hakka people.
@@d00mch1ld This is a much disputed topic. The Sekkei Sun Zhong Shan mesuem staff who are fellow villagers of Chui Heng village swear to their graves that Sun Zhong Shan is not Hakka.

As I commented on your Teochew video - I would love it if you could list your citations at the end of your videos. Thank you for a good video to show my son his roots.
Very informative video! Thanks! With that said, there are two major issues: 1) The eternal watermark is very distracting. 2) The microphone quality (or way it is set up) is sub-par and is distracting at times as well.
My boyfriend is Asian of Chinese mix ancestry. He gives your video two thumbs up, but , there’s always a but(t) with him, he reminds me that the Chinese are Chinese and, as a people and culture, have a separate historical lineage apart from that of the Jewish people and their rich and unique culture (reference to your words in the title) - he points out to me that many Asians and Jews are happily married.
Hakka are forced to work very hard or perished by the hostile hosts . They lived among themselves for safety from the image of rounded structures against outsiders. Cantonese and hokkien people dislike hakka up to these years , but the younger generations can cohabit with one another. ❤
They do! But their ancestral homeland now occupied by Xiong Nu blended people. The irony is that the Hans fought and sacrificed so much to protect their homeland and culture but yet the national language of China is heavily influenced by the Xiong Nu.
@@benthekeeshond545 Nice try, but bad news for you is that Xiong Nu, as recorded in Chinese historical records, has long been assimilated into the Han ethnic group now. The evidence is clear: no one in China self identifies as Xiong Nu now, but Han is still the major ethnic group. Just take the bitter truth bro, Xiong Nu is a dead ethinicity.

I am a minority in Hakka, the Hai Lo Feng group. My uncle in China still keep a family tree. As Hakka being forced to move South the culture had mixed with the Yao tribe hence many still don't think Hakka is 100%Han Chinese. There was massacre of Hakka in the South that would consider genocide. Even today many other Chinese such as Hokkien or Cantonese will advised their children not to marry Hakka.

Please elaborate.
Thanks.
My Hakka ancestors - along with thousands of others - went to the tiny Caribbean island of Jamaica. Thanks for this.
I am American but married a Taiwanese born whose mother is Hakka and father from mainland China. My children have Hakka lineage. My mother in law also went back to college at age 80 to get a masters degree with emphasis on Hakka culture. There is 100% an emphasis on education. My mother in law is also a wonderful, kind and giving person and always makes me feel very welcome when we go back to Taiwan each year. We still vacation together and my mother in law is in fantastic shape. We will celebrate her 90th birther next year. This video is amazing to see and I appreciate the high production quality and insight.
i am half Hakka, residing in North Borneo (present day: Sabah, Malaysia). Thank you for making this video.
I'm half Hakka from my dad's side. Hakka people really do know how to "吃苦“ or to overcome hardship. Growing up, I would hear stories about my great grandpa who migrated to Vietnam in search of opportunity, and then of my grandpa who left his family from Vietnam to come back to Southern China. It seems like Hakka people love seeking opportunities abroad and are also focused on their studies. My grandma and grandpa were both the first in their families to become teachers. My dad, through the 高考 college entrance exam was able to get into Tsinghua, the country's top university. He then moved overseas to the US with my mom and had me. Moved four times over the course of four generations. No wonder it seems like no matter where I go, I can find a Hakka.
I’m 1/8 Hakka descendant, still have a heart towards the word Hakka. 吃苦 seems like describing my life, I always believe how I can 吃苦 until today for I have Hakka root.
A Hakka woman epitomizes all the good characters of a wife, mother and daughter... resilience, responsibility, courage and wisdom. Whoever marries a Hakka woman has got a very great karma. Of course, Hakka men are also known for their foresight, loyalty, acumen and leadership. Whoever is married to a Hakka man is one who must have done a lot of good deeds in their past lives.
The Hakka are not Jews. They are Han Chinese who makes up 90% of modern Chinese. Just like Cantonese, Hakka are Han Chinese who have their homelands in Southern China. Although Hakka have a subculture, they still share huge common values, cultures and traditions as other Han Chinese. Hakka like Sun Yat Sen (the Father of Modern China) and Deng Xiao Ping (Chairman of China), contributed greatly to the modernisation of China.
On the other hand, the Jews are very different from their neighbours, especially the Arabs, having culture, language, tradition and values very distinctive from the Palestinian, Turkish, Arabs, etc.
true I agree.
Very well said!
Any comparison between the Jews and the Hakka has to be their shared unique ability to retain their culture despite their dispersion or diaspora.
To be compared to a Jew is propaganda and nonsense. Nothing unique about Jews especially after being in Europe for Centuries and becoming like Nazis. The Hakka are real.
imo the creator just wanted to make that comparison in order to get views from the western audience, as no one knows what the hakka are, and the western audience probably need some comparison
but he only mentioned it once or twice, so yeah
as Hakka descent, i hate to be compared to Jews, nothing is comparable, but whatever, i bet the western audience wouldn't understand a single minute of this video without this comparison, nice video btw.
Exactly as the Hakka are hardworking and honest people....The same cannot be said the same about the "Chosen Tribe ".
我受够了这些视频胡乱拼凑的历史，而且过于执着的将自己的意识形态灌输到视频里面，这是一个糟糕的“民族分裂主义”视频。
基本上这个视频可以视为是政治意识的产物， 视频在潜移默化的将客家人脱离汉族本源的历史。首先，客家人从来就不是少数民族，他们都是汉人的分支，如今在中国的客家人，他们身份证的民族栏目中写着：汉族。
既然这是一个客家人的主题视频，除了重复提到客家的名字，从不说明客家人本来是什么民族，为什么不从公元两千年前开始剖析客家人的根在哪里。只是多次强调南方的客家人受到一千多年前的新汉族人的排挤和打压。 这其实不是民族主义的事情，这只是王朝更迭，地方争端，这种事情在中国几千年里反复发生着，无关血缘和民族。
视频中反复提到他们称自己是客人。却不说“客”这个意识的初始原因。其实是因为在公元前两百年，中国王朝已经形成了汉族意识，他们都是最早的汉族人，在之后的几百年里，他们被迫来到中国南方的时候。他们就像是落魄的贵族，高傲的汉族人当然会认为自己不应该和当时边疆落后的民族融合，而且他们始终认为自己会回到中国北方的居住地。这就是为什么他们一千多年来一直反复强调自己是中国南方的客人。 客家人因为躲避战乱很好的保存了中国中古时代的汉语发音，但是视频里面甚至从历史上将这些因素剥离，只突出客家人像是“东方犹太人”一样，只是在说客家人在迫害背景中流浪，甚至没有告诉观众当时所有的汉族人都受到了战争和粮食的生存环境压缩。
我可以想象这个视频之后的系列，他会继续编造“新的知识”。比如：“嗷，原来海外客家人都不是中华民族。” ”他们是炎黄正统华夏民族，客家人受到新汉族人迫害，应该和中国脱离。” ”台湾的本土文化是来自最古老的华夏文化，是客家人，和中国汉族不一样，我们要夺回黄河流域。”

My mother is 100% Cantonese Hakka but was born and raised in Shantung China. She got her college degree in North Carolina while China turned communist during her freshman year. She and my father birthed and raised me in New York City. She taught me much about the history of the Hakkas and long after her passing, I experienced her brave, courageous, and industrious hard work ethics. I am very proud to be raised half Hakka and the values handed down to me. I know there are no group of people that is perfect but thanks for this video.

Hakka didn't kick others out of their own land but integrated through hard work. Lots of Hakka also in Malaysia. Well done to them.
you arent particularly intelligent are you...
Punti wars
your history is abit hazy. Aside from buying lands very cheaply, they also stole lands and were very bad to anyone who is not their ethnicity. It was so bad that the people in Canton region went to war with the Hakka and was even extended to the Malay Peninsula.
The Hakka was also not popular with the "others" non Han people like the She and Dan people.
Hakka did not consider Han until late Qing. Their identity was later enforced through a series of political driven research.
The Hakkas have no existential threat that would cause their annilihation from Earth, israel meanwhile do. The israelis are willing to integrate, they are willing to accept two state solution and cozy up with their Arab Neighbours. But none of Israel’s Arab neighbours want israel to exist and launched an unprovoked war against the UN’s wishes to enforce their own interest and disregard the UN’s teo state solution. Now the Palestinians beg the UN to fix the problem that they started. How hypocritical they are.
@@dutchmilk thanks for that but I can't find the source ls that they stole land. I heard about the war but that is quite normal when there is a rise in power inbalance. They did live side by side peacefully for the most part with the Canton?!

I hope there will be one covering the Hokkiens. What made them left China in the masses towards SEA? Why do they keep calling themselves "Tng Lang" or Tang People? Why do Hokkien have similar words as Japanese? How did Hokkien branched out to different dialects in different locations, like Malaysian Hokkien, Singaporean Hokkien, Penang Hokkien, Baba Hokkien, etc? Were the Hokkien people part of the imperial palace in ancient times which an event forced them to move South? Did the Hokkiens migrate in the masses alongside Zhenghe, as many first arrival of Chinese Malaysians were Hokkiens. So many questions I'm curious to hear.
@@aldenteh9412Well, Hokkiens were among the first to migrate to Southeast Asia due to the fact that Fujian is a very mountainous region (which lead to the language branching out into very different dialects), and it's fairly difficult for development (which resulted in people traveling out for better opportunities), but also a very good defense against northern invasions (preservation of language and culture), they call themselves "Tng Lang" because most migrations to Fujian was, yes you guessed it right, during the fall of Tang Dynasty. As to why it sounds like Japanese, most of the writing and pronunciations of the Japanese language largely came from the Tang dynasty, so it makes sense that Japanese sounds more like the Southern Chinese languages than the northern ones.
I understand that your father is one of the greatest Chinese descent prime minister in Southeast Asia. My respects to your late father Prime Minister Lee. I’m half Hakka from my mother’s side.
Don't be fooled by foreigners who are half baked sinologist. Hakka, Minan, Cantonese people all migrated from north china during different warring period in China proper, except Hakka people came to the south a bit later, about 500 to a thousand years. That is all the difference. Since there were no radio or television in those periods, standard of pronunciation is non existence, the reason for different dialects we see nowadays.
Australia's current Foreign Minister, Penny Wong is of Hakka lineage.
Hakka are well known bureaucrats. Prime ministers Deng Xiao Ping, Tsai Ing Wen, Lee Kuan Yew, Basuki Tjahaja Poernama; they’re all Hakka. Many minority migrants in China were banned from enrolling for imperial exam, until a period when government allowed them to do so under the category of ‘hakka’. Thus, many minority migrants adopted that identity to join imperial exams. Hakka were also very involved in political movement, such as Borneo’s Lanfang republic and Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Their existence has complex layers; some anti Qing, but some were also sponsored by Qing to colonise lands emptied out by the great clearance, hence caused great conflict with traditional owners and indigenous people. Punti-Hakka war was one of the results, and also the reason why the earliest Chinese migrants in US were Taishanese. Hakka-s also were known to produce great generals during the Nationalist VS Communist war in China. They are never far from their affiliation with government bureaucracy, and were the benefactors of the Zhonghua reformist confucian movement in early 1900s in South East Asia.

Hakka from Mauritius 🇲🇺
Hakka language retains Old Chinese characteristics from before the various conquest dynasties that altered Northern Chinese languages, culture, and customs. But I was under the impression that many of their ancestors were powerful and rich clans who fled Northern China during the invasions from the Khitan Liao, Jurchen/Manchu Jin, or Mongol Yuan Dynasty.
Since the Hakka originally were from Northern China, they maintained distinctly different culture/language from Southerners in Fujian, Guangdong, or Hainan, who are mostly descendants of Sinicized indigenous people. Most Chinese emigration from 19th century onwards into Southeast Asia and Americas are from these Southern regions, which is why many overseas Chinese spoke variations of dialects of Cantonese, Fujian, Hainan, or Hakka.
If I'm not mistaken ancient Chinese texts collectively called them as 百越, probably because it was too difficult to differentiate and identify each group. For that reason, the genetic Haplogroup of Northern and Southern people are different. One of the genetic characteristics of the Southern Haplogroup O1 people is weak alcohol tolerance, which are genetic traits extremely rare in Northern Chinese, Mongolic, and Manchu people.
(Weak alcohol tolerance is a common genetic trait for many irrigated rice farming people in Southern China, and Southeast Asia. Medically speaking, it has something to do with stronger resistance against infectious diseases such as Malaria that are common in irrigated rice-farming in warm weathers.)
I don't know about Hainan but our people frpm Guangdong and Fujian are not just sinicized native, we are a mix of sino people and bai yue people, in fujian it is more of a mix, and in guangdong it is more or less in certain areas, sino people have always came here in waves, which affects our genes, not making us as native as you might believe.
Hakka the 2nd after Hokkien both history, language, existence, and influence.
In my experience, japanese and korean hanbun/hanmun is closer to hakka than hokkien
From what I had read, the Hakkas are descended from Han Chinese refugees that fled their homes along the Huang He region during periods of unrest and wars. They migrated south of the Yangtze River seeking refuges. However, most of the flat terrains are already settled forcing most Hakkas to settle along the highland and hill areas. The Hakkas then assimilated many hill tribes of southern China. Life in the highlands is tough and the hard life has motivated the Hakkas to strive for better life. As a result, many of China's best and brightest are of Hakka descent. Even many successful overseas Chinese are also of Hakka descent.
@@KertPerteson says not sinicized native proceeds to describe exactly that in different words... what do you think that means?
I'm half hakka on my mom's side. It's true that my maternal family including my mom have constantly amazed me with their fortitude through hard times and their basic attitude towards hardship seems to be that it's normal. She is also able to endure great pain - there was once when I was young and she was clearing this crafting table where there was a sharp saw piece and while wiping the table with sweeping motions, she swept her hand across the blade and cut herself quite badly. She just washed and wrapped her hand up and continued like nothing happened. She also has great energy and even at 70+ now amazes me with her stamina.
In comparison, my father, who is Teochew, is like a spoilt brat.

Many of the original migrants to the west coast of the US do indeed not speak Cantonese, but neither Hakka, they speak other Guangdong province village dialects like Sayyup/Toysan. But those speakers are dwindling.
Toishanese is a dialect of Cantonese, since Toishan is in Guangdong. I've been to places in LA Chinatown where I can still hear Toishanese
I speak the sayyip dialect and I am a third generation chinese, my ancestors belonged to the first waves of Chinese migrants to the Americas, I agree that dialect is dwindling and being replaced
To correct, those are not migrant s. Those are slave purchased by the almighty american and put them in force labor to build railway.
@@nc4582 I am quite curious what are they being replaced with, is it Mandarin or what other dialect?
@@GodsWheat the latest immigration waves from china are mostly mandarin speakers, you have some dialects mainly Fujian, the first immigrants to USA (railroad and gold miners) in the late 19th or early 20th century were from coastal areas like canton and toishan, think about chinatown they used to be mainly toisahnese speakers even now chinatowns around in america are dying and you can see pockets of non cantonese/toisahnese speakers popping up in other areas
I have Hakka in my blood and now I'm living in Australia, my grandma can still speak Hakkanes but my other family members can't speak at all. I heard a lot of bloody and sad history about the Hakka people from my granny about how they were forced to immigrate to Sichuan after the Ming dynasty had fallen and how they rebuilt their community and traditions in the new land. I could only speak Mandarin and Sichuan dialects I wish to pick up my ancestor's language again one day and extend family tradition.

I first learned of the Hakka when I read “Hawaii” by James Michener. One of the main characters is a Hakka woman from China who was kidnapped and forced to the sex trade, and ends up in Hawaii, as that land needed laborers for the growing ag economy.
Her stoic perseverance is symbolic of the original Chinese laborers who wound up in Hawaii in the 19th century…a world and ocean away but they persevered.

This was an excellent video, and as someone who's semi-successfully traced much of his own Hakka history (allegedly mid-1600s migration to Taiwan), this was wonderful to see the broader context and ripples of our migration. Thank you so much, would love to see more! Suggestion: I know the Japanese military at the time of war commissioned a document studying the military effectiveness/anthropology of Hakkanese people, but I'm unable to understand the primary document.
There was a lot of that on both sides of the war in order to find more reasons to destroy the enemy.

Nice video! I'm Hakka born and raised in Costa Rica, my father was born and raised in Taiwan, so my family also has mixed japanese customs, cause you know... Japanese ocupation of Taiwan.
why do u guys settle in random and unexpected places (jamaica, mauritius, costa rica)?
They do have their own land, it’s called “China” lol
Syrian refuges who fled their war torn homes have their own land, it’s called „Syria“ lol
first hakka existed due to the eastern capital's collapse, which got absolutely ravaged. Today that city is kaifeng and a different population, different language, different city layout, so its quite ridiculous for them to return to kaifeng
@@courtly5982exactly what happened with Israel/Palestine🫢
I love the Jewish connection. We always,and I mean always have been a special kind of people. Especially smart. Knowledge is the key.
Reading and writing a given. Thinking that is different. They did not bind feet. I'm a Jewish woman from America. Always interested in Jews of the world.
In every country, we have remained true to who we are. We are so special. Always have to flee. Always survived
其实我很喜欢犹太人，很多改变为人类的科技都是犹太人发明的，不明白为什么总是有人把犹太人跟阴谋论联系起来，在我看来这些阴谋论就跟美国总统是蜥蜴人一样荒诞。
The Hakka people never fled. Wrong comparison. There's 40 million Hakka people living in and around moi yang China. Well established. No fleeing.
Except it’s wrong, because there are actual Jews who’s been in China for hundreds of years, some of whom have even emigrated to Israel under the laws of return. So it’s a bit weird to refer to the hakka as jews of China when there’s literally jewish communities there
What a dumb thing to say.
Jews are the smartest people in the world
Hakka migrated and isolated themselves from different eras and dynasties within its conflicts and became their own ethnic and language just like many other ethnic from Zhongguo, just like the Hmong (Miao). We had a long history, too, started from Chiyou, who defended against Huangdi and Yandi, but after the loss, the Hmong migrated many directions. Those that were still recorded in Chinese history are the Miao during the San Miao and into the Chu state while trying to rebel unity within the warring state. Mayn countless battles happened and erased from history, but the last one was the Miao Rebellion during the Manchu Qing dynasty that had to use a southern great wall to block attacks from the Miao. Many lost and have migrated further south into indo china.
I'm half Hakka but hakka people actually consider themselves Han Chinese to make things less confusing, my other half is hokkien. And it is true, I'm not a Chinese national, most hakkas are living overseas
That's the meaning of Hakka, guests.
很难受的一点是，在这个视频下面的大部分客家人，他们自己都不知道客家人就是汉族人，一群输掉游戏的汉族人只能躲避战争逃到中国南方的大山里，害怕追杀，不敢沿用曾经的姓氏，不敢活跃于公众面前，所以这种独立性，让他们保留了中古时代1500年前的汉族话，也就是客家话，面对陌生人的情况下他们只能称呼自己是客人（hakka），因为这是他们祖先的执念，就像是一种使命感。 客家人一辈子都想回到中国北方，表现了客家人对祖宗、土地、家庭的观念，这其实也和2200年前中国汉朝推行的儒家思想有关。 所以请正视自己的身份和使命感，这辈子总要去祖先的土地上看看，完成他们的心愿。他们不是东方犹太人，他们只是一群不断被压缩生存空间的汉人。 现在中国的汉族客家人还有超过5000万，中国之外的客家人也只有1500万人，但是因为中国的软实力逐步上升，客家人再也没有逃亡的想法，他们现在可以光明正大的宣称自己是汉族人，再也不用再像过去几百年历史里的客家人一样逃亡到海洋对岸。
No, Hakka are Hakka. We are proud Chinese, doesn't matter where in the world we have landed. Have you gone and traced your linage. Gone back to China and visited your ancestral village? There are over 40 million Hakka speakers living around moi yang. Most Hakka live in China.
My friend told me that the New Zealand's Maori Haka also originate from Chinese Hakka clans. They learned and master it from the Chinese Hakka clans as a form of martial arts to scare or to protect them from adversaries. Is it true?

Very interesting . I am a great fan of Hakka culture and excellence hard work and courage.
a banger video for southeast asian chinese!!!❤
"the official name... Hakka in Cantonese". Lol. Today I learn we're not called Hakka because we call ourselves Hakka in our own Hakka language, it's because that's what we're called "in Cantonese".
LOL
Am hakka and I spoke Cantonese and hakka both sound the same only a tiny bit different high and low pit sounds and today after listening to this i find out why I understand sound bit of mandarin even I don't speak that language because Yes some hakka and mandarin mixed with hakka and sound mixed Cantonese. Growing up I always wonder Cantonese Japanese Korean ect ect why chinese writing look the same sound the same Guess because hakka is everywhere around the world.... So proud to be hakka
客家破防时刻之除你汉籍，说实话挺绷不住的（）
Once, my Jewish friend told me that two groups of people would be successful no matter where they went: Jews and Chinese. So, from her folks, the Chinese were the Jews in the East. However, she didn't know the real chosen people in the East were Hakka.
Yeah, steal the land from Palestine🤣🤣🤣
I’m half Hakka from my mum side and half Hokkien from my dad. Malaysia represent 🇲🇾
From what I know which the video points out that is true Hakka emphasise on hardworking & Studies while Hokkien focuses on Business mindset.

My grandmother was Hakka, a very kind, noble n loving lady who looked after us children with love n tenderness. She was a loving mother and the kindest woman I have ever known and loved. Please don’t associate my grandmother’s people with the Jews in Europe, there are so many nomad tribes in this whole wide world. Hers is distinct and noble.
I am 100% Hakka living in indonesia, with both paternal n maternal grandparents from moiyen, Meizhou. Tks to my parents who insisted us the children speaking Hakka as mother tongue that today I m still able to speak Hakka very fluently
Hey great video. Just want to point someone out, which you kind of covered, the Hakka are likely the OG Han Chinese people from Ancient China. They were from central China and the Hakka language is likely a very close relative of ancient Chinese, despite some people mistakenly believe that Cantonese are. Many countries that have borrow words from Chinese, its pronunciation sounds more like Hakka than Mandarin or Canto. The OG Chinese languages originally were Hakka, Wu language (modern day Wenzhou dialect), and Cantonese (very small minority like today). The two most notable Hakka southern migrations are during the fall of the Sima Jin Dynasty, and Tang Dynasty. Which saw a shift in the ethnic make up of what was considered Han Chinese. As Northern Chinese became increasingly different than Southern Chinese, due to ethnic mixing with nomadic tribes.
You can’t talk about OG Chinese languages without mentioning Hokkien, it’s on par with Hakka as a direct descent of Old Chinese. Cantonese can’t really be considered one since its descended from Middle Chinese like Mandarin.
Lmfao
Cantonese, Hokkien, Hakka
You southern regional chauvinists just love to claim that you are the real Chinese, don't you
Confucianism is the heart of Chinese culture

@@mythrinThese aren't languages. They are regional dialects of ONE language, the Chinese language. This comment section is infested with linguistic and ethnic separatism that seeks to divide up China.
@@defaulttmc If you’re not Chinese you can shut your mouth. They’re separate languages by any meaningful metric of mutual intelligibility; dialects are a social construct that differ based on individual nations. Norwegian and Swedish are infinitely more mutually intelligible than Mandarin and Hokkien despite being classified as different languages. Accepting the reality that there exists many languages, ethnic groups, and rich historical intricacies in China isn’t dividing the country you bigot.
@jasonsoo6138 Oh yeah you are right forgot about the Min people. I think the Min and Hakka are probably the ones that are most similar to ancient Han Chinese. Hakka was similar to the northern dialect while Min more so to the South I believe. But agree, Canto is much later, which is why it kinda annoy me that Canto speakers esp. ones from HK believe Canto is closest to what ancient Chinese sounded like 🙄
great video
Thanks friend🙏
Nah, yellow river basin millet farmers are ethnic related to Di-Qiang people they're known for being the tallest people in Asia.
Wow, I didn’t know Sun Yat Sen was Hakka.

Only 3 of Canton/ Guangzhou's 10 districts
have small clusters of Hakka
villages. Also not many. Hakka people in other districts are individual workers from outside of Canton. Don't exaggerate.

I think when the narrator said Canton, he meant Guangdong Province, not the city of Canton (Guangzhou).
Correct.
Can you make a vid on teochew people ??
As I commented on your Teochew video - I would love it if you could list your citations at the end of your videos. Thank you for a good video to show my son his roots.
Well done from a Hakka in Thailand
Very informative video! Thanks!
With that said, there are two major issues:
1) The eternal watermark is very distracting.
2) The microphone quality (or way it is set up) is sub-par and is distracting at times as well.
My boyfriend is Asian of Chinese mix ancestry. He gives your video two thumbs up, but , there’s always a but(t) with him, he reminds me that the Chinese are Chinese and, as a people and culture, have a separate historical lineage apart from that of the Jewish people and their rich and unique culture (reference to your words in the title) - he points out to me that many Asians and Jews are happily married.
Hakkas have nothing to do with the Jews, except for the very few who may have inter-married.
I am a 100% Hakka (Dabu and Meixian) from Aust. According to our family book, our ancestors migrated to Guangdong from Henan centuries ago.

It was clamped down by the Dutch before it was celebrated. 羅伯芳共和國, 婆羅州.

Hakka are forced to work very hard or perished by the hostile hosts . They lived among themselves for safety from the image of rounded structures against outsiders. Cantonese and hokkien people dislike hakka up to these years , but the younger generations can cohabit with one another. ❤
what a revision of history.
Ya hokkien sangat kasar dan membenci orang hakka, saya adalah korban bullying
Hakka do have ancestral land. It's in the north. And still belong to Hakka. It's just that the Hakka love to move out to seek their own future.
Where is the original locations? Do they speak Hakka there?
They do! But their ancestral homeland now occupied by Xiong Nu blended people. The irony is that the Hans fought and sacrificed so much to protect their homeland and culture but yet the national language of China is heavily influenced by the Xiong Nu.
@@benthekeeshond545 Nice try, but bad news for you is that Xiong Nu, as recorded in Chinese historical records, has long been assimilated into the Han ethnic group now.
The evidence is clear: no one in China self identifies as Xiong Nu now, but Han is still the major ethnic group.
Just take the bitter truth bro, Xiong Nu is a dead ethinicity.
Free Hakkaland!!!
Don't be narcissistic; the ancestors of the Hakka people are the indigenous inhabitants of the mountainous regions of Guangdong.
I m a hakka from malaysia. My grandfather migrated from Lufeng , Guangdong province China to Malaysia 100 years ago. I went back to Lufeng a few times.

I am a minority in Hakka, the Hai Lo Feng group. My uncle in China still keep a family tree. As Hakka being forced to move South the culture had mixed with the Yao tribe hence many still don't think Hakka is 100%Han Chinese. There was massacre of Hakka in the South that would consider genocide. Even today many other Chinese such as Hokkien or Cantonese will advised their children not to marry Hakka.
@@edwardhew4984 In Malaysia Hailufeng is a big

inter marry and now the She language is almost same as Hakka. Never heard of mixing with Yao
which is very few in ChaoShan area.
0:11 During the early days of Satellite Imagery (1960s, 1970s), CIA thought these structures were nuclear silos!
0:30 It was said that between 100AD to 700AD, Northerners migrated south wards to avoid war. It was speculated that they settled south of the Great River (aka Yangze).
Also, after the Yuan was defeated, Ming dynasty tasked a general who in turn employed South Westerners to rebuild the Great Wall and inhabit the Northern Lands: "This is now your land; live and protect it!"
Thus was proven the stupidity of CIA(read american) isn't it?
