Vising a Han Chinese village
We visited a very small local village in the suburbs of Qingyuan, China in 2017. I wrote blogs about how my mother, aunt, uncle, and I got a chance to visit China in 2017. In short, my friend invested us to join their field trip in China learning how Han Chinese and Yao Chinese live in the area. We visited the area with a group of 7 people, three Japanese, two Chinese, one Taiwanese, and One American. And, these two Chinese students were finishing their thesis about their research on how Yao people live in the area with Han Chinese, and how Yao people adopt Han Chinese culture. So, after we visited the Yao village, we decided to visit a local Han village to compare how different people live close to each other. Well, close is not the right word to describe the distance, I guess. Because it was about 1 to 2 hours away from the Yao village. But, there are no major residential areas or towns in between, so at least we can say that these two residential areas are next to each other.

We walked around the village, but somehow there were few people in the village. We had no clue how come there were few people in the village. Probably village people were outside to work on the farmland or something. We just met a dog in this small village. So, we decided to go outside of the village and checked what was like outside of the village.

We did not see any Yao people in these villages. They were all Han Chinese. I learned clear differences between the Yao villages and the Han villages although they live in the same area. And also, it was very interesting to see how they act differently. As Han Chinese expanded the population in the area, Yao people had to move up to the mountains to keep some distance away from them. Well, I do not blame Han Chinese here. They have their lives and families to take care of, which is why they had to expand their territories. I hope that the Yao and the Han Chinese will not have any conflicts between them in the future. And, that is the reason why these two scholars are studying the lifestyles of the Yao and the Han in this area, and I hope that they will find some mutual way to solve some tensions between them in the future. 😄👍🙏
