The ancestors of Korean people in China are Koreans who moved from the Korean Peninsula to the three northeastern provinces of China. After they settled down, they gradually developed into a nation in China. 1982 during the national census, it was found that some Korean ancestors in China had settled in the northeast as early as the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. For example, Han surnamed Park in Pujiagou Village, Gai County, Liaoning Province, has settled in the local area for more than 300 years. Since the middle of19th century, more and more Koreans have moved in from the Korean peninsula, which is the main source of Koreans in China. Due to the cruel exploitation and oppression of the feudal ruling class in Korea at that time, especially in 1869, the northern part of Korea suffered a great disaster. Some suffering Korean farmers crossed the Yalu River and Tumen River and came to China to reclaim land along the two rivers, where they lived with the Han and Manchu people. But at this time, the number of people moving in is not very large, most of them come in spring and go in autumn, and their residence is still unstable. With the intensification of Japanese imperialist aggression against Korea, a large number of residents moved to the northeast frontier of China in order to find a way out, regardless of the ban of the Qing government. According to statistics, in 1870, there were 28 Korean-inhabited towns on the north bank of Yalu River. In the seventh year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (188 1), there were more than 10000 Koreans in Yanbian area. From 65438 to 0883, there were more than 37000 Korean residents in Ji 'an, Linjiang and Xinbin counties. During the same period, a large number of Korean farmers moved into the areas along the Wusuli River.
19 In the 1950s and 1960s, the Qing government still adopted the policy of prohibiting North Korean farmers from entering the country. Later, the policy of recruiting people to fill the sea was changed. 188 1 year, set up famine relief bureau in Jilin and reclamation bureau in Nangang (Hunchun), Yanji and Donggou to recruit immigrants. All the recruits are from China. 1885, the Qing government designated the northern bank of Tumen River, which is about 700 miles long and 50 miles wide, as a special reclamation area for Korean farmers, so as to facilitate a large number of Korean farmers to move to the northeast.
19 10, Japanese imperialism annexed Korea, and the Korean people and some patriots moved to the northeast of China in large numbers, which reached more than 360,000 in 19 18.
The Korean people have a glorious revolutionary tradition. 1906 After Japanese imperialism invaded the Korean colony, the Korean people began anti-Japanese activities, from spontaneous to organized anti-Japanese activities emerged one after another. 1927 to 10, China's * * * production party organization was established in North Korea. Under the leadership of China's * * * Production Party, anti-Japanese guerrillas from North Korea and China were established in various places. In the second army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition, Koreans account for the vast majority, and Korean soldiers in the first and seventh armies also account for about half. 1in the autumn of 938, eight female guerrillas of Han nationality and Korean nationality shot the last bullet, smashed their weapons and jumped into Wushun River, a tributary of Mudanjiang, with a glorious sacrifice, and wrote the famous tragic anti-Japanese poem "Eight women jumped into the river". Tens of thousands of North Korean soldiers died in the anti-Japanese battlefield. During the War of Liberation, only 50,000 Koreans in Yanbian joined the army. After the outbreak of the Korean War, a large number of Korean youths responded to the call of "resisting US aggression and aiding Korea to protect their country and defend their country", participated in Chinese people's Volunteer Army, crossed the Yalu River and fought side by side with their compatriots in neighboring countries, making great contributions to the victory of the Korean War.
