Meizhou
Meizhou is located in the northeast of Guangdong Province and is a vital communication hub for the three provinces of Guangdong, Fujian, and Jiangxi. The city is famous for being the Hometown of Culture, Hometown of the Overseas Chinese, especially Hakka Chinese, and the Hometown of Football.
Hakkas are a unique ethnic group of Han Chinese originally from around the Yellow River area, who later migrated south to avoid the chaos of war. Due to hostility towards the new immigrants, many were forced into the mountainous regions of Guangdong. The migratory tradition has continued with the redistribution of Hakka people to the most remote parts of the world. Many people in Meizhou emigrated during the last century to earn money for their families, with some returning to build their hometowns. Meizhou is considered the centre of the standard Hakka dialect, along with the neighboring Mei County and Dabu County.
