The origin of the Korean nation

Korean nationality is one of the cross-border ethnic groups in China, which was gradually formed when the neighboring Korean Peninsula moved in and settled in the northeast. 1982 during the national census, it was found that some Korean ancestors settled in North China and Northeast China as early as the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

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 around 1869, the northern part of Korea suffered from natural disasters for several years. Hungry and cold North Korean farmers have left their homes and crossed the Yalu River and Tumen River to China to reclaim land in this area where Han and Manchu live together in the two rivers.
