The ancestors of the Hakka people originated from northern part of China and migrated to the south. They are a tribe of the Han nationality in the southern part of country. When the Hakka culture retains the mainstream characteristics of China culture, it also accommodates the cultural essence of the local ethnic groups. Hakka people often use those talented men as role models to inspire and educate their children, grandchildren and learn from their meritorious and successful predecessors.

Some people say: Wherever there is the sun, there are Chinese people, and wherever there are Chinese people, there are Hakkas.

Others say: Wherever there is sunshine, there are Hakkas; wherever there is a piece of land, Hakkas will gather to live together, work hard and reproduce.
