In China's modern history, there is a particularly mysterious force, they are all over the world, dedicating their ethnic strength to the survival of the country and the nation, and it is even not an exaggeration to say that they have written more than half of China's modern history, and people call them Hakka.

In Chinese history, the Hakka people can also see their own figures: Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue in the Han Dynasty, Zhang Jiuling, the virtuous minister of the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Xi, a physicist in the Song Dynasty, Wen Tianxiang, a hero of the anti-Yuan Dynasty, Yuan Chonghuan, a general in the late Ming Dynasty, a revolutionary Sun Yat-sen, Commander-in-Chief Zhu De, Marshal Ye Jianying, General Ye Ting, General Xiao Hua, a famous anti-Japanese general Xue Yue, a historian Chen Yinke, a cultural chess player Guo Moruo, the father of Singapore Lee Kuan Yew, Hong Kong Tie King Zeng Xianzi, mathematician Yau Chengtong, Hong Xiuquan of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, diplomat Huang Zunxian, Huang Shen of Yangzhou Eight Monsters, Patriotic general Liu Yongfu and so on.

Hakka people are also seen on the road of China's reform and national rejuvenation. In addition, Hakka women cannot be mentioned in the Hakka people, Hakka women have no status in other Han people, and they can even be said to be one of the best female groups in China.

The Englishman Eder spoke highly of Hakka women in "Hakka Chronicles":

"Hakka women are typical of the best working women in China.

He also wrote in his "Record of His Visit to China":

"The Hakka nation is cheese on cow's milk, and at least 70% of this brilliance should belong to Hakka women.

"Then the bottom

Where did the "Hakka" come from? There is some controversy about the origin, and the historiography community agrees with the theory of the southward migration of the Central Plains.

From the analysis of gene sequencing, 70% of Hakka genes come from the Han nationality in the Central Plains, and 20% are from local minority genes.

From genetic analysis, it can be basically concluded that the Hakka people should be formed by the fusion of Han, She, Yao and other ethnic groups. The migration of the Hakka people includes the southward migration of the Hakka ancestors and the domestic and international migration of the Hakka people in China.

The first southward migration of the Hakka people can be traced back to the time of Qin Shi Huang; The second large-scale southward migration was at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty

"Yongjia Rebellion", Eastern Jin Dynasty

the period of "Five Hu Chaohua"; The third large-scale southward migration was during the Huangchao Rebellion in the late Tang Dynasty; The fourth large-scale southward migration was the southward crossing of the Song dynasty and the late Song Dynasty; The fifth southward migration was in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties; The sixth southward migration was during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the mid-19th century.

The story of this book is that after the fifth generation of overseas Chinese returned to China, they traveled to ancient times to study the formation of the Hakka, a great branch of the Han people.

Hakka history will run through the whole story, and it is also the context of the book.
