Anyang background

Modern Nanyang Islands is a painful place for China people. The phenomenon of "going to Nanyang" not only imported a large number of China labor force, but also brought China culture and formed a far-reaching China society.

/kloc-In the middle of the 9th century, colonists from Europe opened the door to China by force, and China people's vision gradually expanded from East Asia to the whole world. What followed was the all-round contact between eastern and western civilizations, so that people with a world vision were no longer confined to the elite. In other words, ordinary people in China also find that they can find a new way of life outside the land under their feet.

"Going to South Asia" has become a major historical event comparable to "going to the East" and "going to the West", and it is also driven by the joint efforts of "push and pull". In terms of thrust, "economic oppression" is the most dynamic "hormone". According to a survey conducted by China Pacific Institute 1935, 69.95% of refugees go abroad because of "economic oppression".
