WHAT YOU SAY
[This page is closed to new input. --Ed.]
Chinaman,
Have u seen Taiwanese ppl who are short and stubby or who have prominent cheekbones/jaws and small round eyes? That's the aboriginal "look" of the many Taiwanese....
Mainland Hoklos do not have these traits.
Taiwanese who is part....
The people in Fujian (southern part) are referred to as Minnans or Hoklos. They are descendants of aboriginal people in Fujian (generally people south of the Yangtze were called "Yueh" meaning barbarian-before they became siniticized.
Hoklo - an adventurous people from the southern Fujian province who settled into Guangdong, Taiwan and other areas of the South China sea around the end of the Ming dynasty (1368-1643).
Some Famous and Impressive Hoklos
Han Yu - (AD 768–824) Tang Dynasty Literary Genius, born and lived in the Southern Fujian/Northeastern Guangdong area.
Koxinga (Zheng Chen Kung) - (1624-62) Fujianese general who was responsible for defeating the Dutch in Taiwan and establishing it as Chinese territory. He was the first Chinese to hold power in Taiwan.
Li Kai Shing - (1928-Present) HK's filthy rich mogul. A native of Chaozhou before arriving to HK. A self made billionaire and a financial wizard.
Jose Rizal - (1861-1896) (Hoklo-Filipino) An extremely brilliant scholar, doctor and revolutionist who was responsible for the independence of the Philippines from Spain.
Corazon Aquino - (1933-Present) (Hoklo ancestry) Politician, president of the Philippines (1986-92).
Michelle Yeoh - (1962-Present) Actress from Malaysia, starred in the TMND James Bond movie and the more recent CTHD movie.
Chow Yun Fat - (1955-Present) Well Known actor is Hakka, maybe Hakka-Hoklo???? His mother is probably Hakka, his dad was a flighty seafaring individual and he was born in a fishing village in an island near HK. Hakkas do not venture into the sea nor live in fishing villages, only Hoklos do. Further, Chow Yun Fat's facial features are very bold and sharp, common among Hoklos but not common among Hakkas or native Cantonese.
Can anyone think of some other well known Hoklos who have made an impact to society?
Cantonese brag about their "pioneer" status in America and how they laid railroad tracks for white ppl. Hakkas brag about Sun Yat Sen and the establishment of modern China. Now Hoklos have something to brag about too!
Btw, the large and beautiful Amsterdam Chinese community in the Netherlands (Holland) is made up of Hakkas and Hoklos. There is no other Western country where these 2 groups or any other Chinese have made such a complementing impact with the natives.

Whatever happened to the Manchurians?
Once they ruled China and had their own country now are they all similated into the Han Chinese? If not what are their numbers now?
