Will Shandong people return to their hometown in Northeast China?

Speaking of such topics, everyone who has traveled to Guandong has a sad story. Why did we travel to Guandong back then, and why do we go back to our hometowns now? If it weren’t for the fact that our household registration was not stuck there, maybe people in Shandong would have to go back to their hometowns.

In the past, farmers relied on the land to survive. Shandong was a populous province, and the contradiction between man and land was very sharp. The farmers at that time really couldn't fill their stomachs. My mother was one of them. She was young at the time. Several sisters got together, managed to scrape together some fare money, and ran to the Northeast together with people from their hometown on their backs. I didn't have a penny in my hand for the fare, and when I got there I didn't know where to go, so I had no choice but to beg for food. Tonghua, Jilin is a gathering place for Shandong people. There is still a village called "Shandong Hui Brigade". It is said that the train from Tonghua to Qingdao was opened for this reason.

After the reform and opening up, Shandong's economy has risen rapidly, far ahead of the Northeast. Smart local farmers began to move back to their hometowns one after another. Later, many people became interested in this idea, but at that time, the household registration card was very strict, and those who went back were only people with connections. If we could open our mouths now, I'm afraid too many people would go back.

If people from the Northeast want to go back to their hometown in Shandong, first of all they have to change their mindset, and secondly they have to recognize their ancestors, otherwise you have no choice but to go back.

In the summer of 2003, my cousin and aunt from the Northeast came to my hometown in Shandong. After hearing this, I felt regretful and happy at the same time.

I have two grandfathers and brothers. My grandfather is the eldest and has been living in Shandong.

My second grandfather had three children, two boys and one girl. Before he broke into Guandong, he married his eldest daughter (my aunt) to Rizhao and used the measly betrothal gift as travel expenses. With her two sons, she went to Guandong like the protagonist in the TV series "Crossing Guandong".

Later, with the country’s development of the Great Northern Wilderness, Grandpa Er’s family entered the Northeast Agricultural Reclamation Farm. My second grandfather’s eldest son (my uncle) married a local girl, and the family has been living in the Northeast. My second grandfather’s second son (my second uncle) went to Beijing with his wife who was returning to the city after joining the queue of educated youth.

It was my uncle who returned to his hometown in Shandong in 2003. He was in his 60s at the time and had retired, but his pension was not large.

I was very happy after hearing the news that the Northeastern uncle returned to his hometown in Shandong. Because my father had no brothers or sisters (he did have them, but they all died in the early years of wandering around to make a living), I felt that my uncle and aunt were the same as my parents.

I regret that my father passed away half a year before my uncle came back.

I immediately invited my family members to have dinner together, to help my uncle and aunt clean up their troubles, and asked my brothers in my hometown to arrange a place for them to live, and then find them a job within their ability.

My brother immediately arranged a job for my uncle as a factory gatekeeper, and for my aunt as a cook in a staff restaurant. They also arranged dormitories for them in the factory and provided them with all the daily necessities.

Half a year later, my uncle left without saying goodbye.

Because I have been away from home, I don’t understand what caused the uncle to come and leave. I asked my brother repeatedly, and my brother finally said: "Uncle is not used to being trapped there all day long. He said that he likes places with vast land and sparsely populated areas, and is not used to the local lifestyle. After all, he has left Shandong since he was a child, and he is not used to living in the local area." No one I know well."

I was speechless for a long time after hearing this.

I remember when I took my uncle to my father’s grave after giving him a cleansing, and showed him the location of our ancestors’ tombs, my uncle didn’t even buy a knife of fire paper, nor did he kneel down to my ancestors.

I remembered that after my uncle came to Shandong, he never said he wanted to visit his old sister in Rizhao, whom he had not seen for many years. In the end, it was my brother who couldn't stand looking at it anymore, so he bought him a gift, drove his car, and took him to Rizhao to see his biological sister. Although he didn't regard her as his biological sister, these things Over the years, we have treated her as our aunt.

I remembered that after my uncle came to his hometown in Shandong, for more than half a year, he rarely took my aunt to visit my mother - she was his old sister-in-law.

I thought a lot about this matter and reviewed myself. I even wondered if we had treated my uncle lightly. If you think about it carefully, maybe it's due to customs? After all, we cannot ask an old man who has been away from home for forty or fifty years to understand and adapt to things he has never been exposed to.

In the autumn of 2004, I received news that my cousins ??(my uncle’s sons) were back. This time I was very careful and personally arranged for him to live in my hometown. Because after my father passed away, my old mother lived alone in a large courtyard with several empty rooms. I was worried that he was unfamiliar with the place, so I asked my brother to find him a job in a nearby factory.

I am very satisfied with this arrangement. Firstly, it would give him a place to stay and eat (all free of charge), and secondly, my mother would also have someone to take care of her. I asked my mother to prepare three meals a day for him and told my mother, "Treat him as your fourth son."

During the Spring Festival, I went back to my hometown and asked him about his past. He said that he had been married and divorced, and neither of us wanted the child, so he had given it away.

I asked him about his future plans, and he said that if possible, he would settle here. But he doesn't have any savings now. He only earned more than 1,000 yuan from working in a factory after coming to Shandong.

So I asked my brother why he was given such a small salary after working for three months. My brother immediately called the factory owner and asked. The boss said that workers’ wages are paid on a piece-rate basis per day. My uncle always comes late and leaves early. Many times he doesn’t go to work for several days in a row. The factory is planning to drop him after the Spring Festival.

What made me even more angry was that my neighbor complained to me: One night, my mother suddenly felt unwell and begged him to take her to the village infirmary. He refused, saying that he was too sleepy. . My mother had no choice but to wake up the neighbor and ask her to take her to see a doctor.

After hearing this, I became furious and severely accused him of ignoring the hard work of taking care of the old man's three meals a day, being disrespectful of filial piety, and being selfish.

Unexpectedly, my cousins ??waved their hands and left without saying anything.

Through these two experiences of relatives from the Northeast returning to their hometown, I thought a lot.

When our ancestors broke into Guandong, it was extremely difficult and they went through many dangers.

Decades have passed, and it may not be very easy for future generations to come back. If you plan to settle down in the city, it is the same across the country; if you plan to return to your hometown in rural Shandong, you will have to go through a difficult adaptation process in terms of customs, living habits, and ideology.

My personal opinion, which is not necessarily correct, is: if you want to go back to your hometown in Shandong, you must first change your mindset, and secondly, you must recognize your ancestors, otherwise you will have no choice but to go back.

Let’s talk about my family’s journey to Guandong

I was born in Shandong in Northeast China. Due to life difficulties, my great-grandfather and uncle died abnormally in 1959. In 1964, my parents took their one-year-old brother to live with my aunt who had fled famine in Heilongjiang Province a few years earlier. My brother died in 1965 and became the elder brother forever. of pain. After I was born in 1966, my grandfather wrote to my father many times asking us to return to Shandong, saying that we would die together. My parents were worried that they would starve if they returned to Shandong, so they kept making excuses to delay their return. In the meantime, they moved to a rural area in a neighboring county where conditions were slightly better. Later, my grandfather wrote a letter saying, don’t raise my grandson anymore and send him back. Whenever my father recalls this, his eyes always turn red.

My father asked relatives who were visiting relatives in his hometown to take me back to my hometown in Shandong. I remember that when I transferred to another class after the Spring Festival, I was surrounded by people because I was wearing a dog-skin hat. There are two other people in the same class who are in the same situation. One is Wende, who is one year older than me, and his parents are in the Daxinganling Forestry Bureau; the other is a girl who lives at her grandma’s house in our village. During this period, four cousins ????left home and lived in Qing'an County, Heilongjiang.

It must have been in 1981, when the responsibilities were divided, many Shandong people in the Northeast took the opportunity to move back to their hometowns, and my parents brought my sister back with them. Land is the lifeblood of farmers. There are already many people and little land, but so many people moved back (that year, the production team moved back nearly 60 people from 11 households), conflicts escalated, and settlement became difficult.

A few months later, only the household registration of prime-age laborers was promised, and those without household registration would not have responsible land. My grandfather said that if we don’t starve to death, we won’t starve to death... My sister and I are from the Northeast in Shandong, and my family has been in real difficulties for many years.

The thick black soil in the Northeast has opened its mind to accept Shandong people who are seeking to survive. Although the weather there was bad, we were able to eat well. An uncle and a cousin are disabled due to Kashin-Beck disease. Every New Year's Eve, my grandfather always talks about his relatives in Kanto: Will he go home during the New Year? Is it okay to do it there? Before he died, he told me with tears: Your uncles will never come back... Traveling to Guandong and returning to Shandong were tears of bitterness!

In my father’s generation, there are six uncles and brothers who all made their way to Guandong. Now the three uncles’ families are still living in the Northeast. Only two of them, my cousin and me, are in Shandong.

My ancestral home is Laizhou, Shandong, and I have been in the Northeast for six generations. There is no written record of the year, month and reason why I came to the Northeast. One year, an uncle of mine went to his hometown of Laizhou to search for his roots. Due to the long history, although he found some members of the same generation and the same clan, they were not very enthusiastic. After my uncle repeatedly requested, he just brought the ancestral graves to pay homage. They were invited to various houses, but they did not take the initiative to invite my uncle to have a meal with them. Instead, my uncle paid for a banquet for several elders in a restaurant in Laizhou. My uncle only stayed in Laizhou for one night and returned to Northeast China the next day. After returning, everyone asked about the situation of searching for roots. My uncle gave a truthful introduction and told the brothers not to go to Shandong again. Since then, contact with Shandong has been completely severed. My father wanted to continue the family tree while he was still alive, and wanted to go back to Shandong for a visit, but after hearing about this situation, he gave up the idea. Later, I also thought about it. The main reason for this situation is that although they have the same surname and the same clan, they have been on the fifth server. There has been no relationship for hundreds of years, and it is normal for them to be strangers. As "Hainan Diao", we just need to know where our roots are. There is no need to demand that people from Shandong are enthusiastic or not.

My grandfather and my girlfriend’s grandfather just met and cried in each other’s arms. We were both baffled. After I finished crying, my girlfriend's grandfather said something, and I jumped up for joy. My girlfriend's parents were a little reluctant, but they had no choice but to agree.

I am a teacher at a university in Heilongjiang, and my home is in Shandong. I studied at a university in Heilongjiang with a bachelor's, master's and doctoral degree. After graduation, my supervisor asked me to be his assistant. Later, I became a teacher at my alma mater.

My girlfriend is a student of my tutor and also has a master's degree. We both fell in love at first sight. Apart from being a bit cultured, I have no other strengths.

Although I am from Shandong, I am not as tall and powerful as the heroes from Shuibo Liangshan. I am a man with a height of just over 1.7 meters. He looks dark, has squinty eyes, and wears thick glasses.

My girlfriend is beautiful and smart, exuding the cultivation and temperament of an intellectual woman.

She is a head taller than me when wearing high heels. In order to save face for me, she never wears high heels when we are together.

My girlfriend’s family is local and there is a big company in her family.

I asked her what she liked about me, a short and poor teacher. She said she didn’t know, but I just like you anyway!

My girlfriend’s parents heard that their daughter had found a poor teacher, and they were so angry that they wanted to cut off the relationship with her. Of course, they were just saying angry words, because the parents only have one daughter, and they would never cut off the relationship. .

That day his father came to school to negotiate with me. He almost vomited a mouthful of blood when he saw the thin, dark man in front of him who would become his son-in-law in the future.

He asked me how much money I needed as long as I agreed to leave his daughter. If I don't agree, someone will break my legs.

When my girlfriend got home, she told her parents that she would elope with me, leaving them with nothing but money and money!

Fortunately, I have the support of my girlfriend’s grandfather. When the grandfather heard about his granddaughter, he laughed and said, what should a man be afraid of if he is temporarily poor? Before I started this family business, I was a poor boy. At first, your grandfather was against your mother marrying me, just like you are now.

Although my girlfriend’s grandfather is nearly eighty years old, he is still the chairman and president of the company, and he always sticks to his word. Sons and daughters-in-law have no choice but to obey orders.

Grandpa didn’t object to his granddaughter having me as her boyfriend, so my girlfriend’s parents had no choice but to get angry and ignore it.

However, my girlfriend told me that my grandfather wanted to meet me. His grandfather said that Shandong people are forthright and simple, open-minded, honest and loyal. Anyone who roars when seeing injustice on the road is a Shandong hero.

With the support of my grandpa, the chairman, I am not afraid of my girlfriend’s parents.

I prepared carefully and bought many gifts to go to my girlfriend’s house.

The first time I came to visit, it was my girlfriend’s grandfather who spoke, not my girlfriend’s parents.

My girlfriend’s home is in a high-end villa area. The two five-story villas next to each other are my girlfriend’s home.

My girlfriend’s grandfather lives in the villa on the left.

My girlfriend took me directly into the villa on the left. I said, do your parents know that I am coming?

My girlfriend stared at me meaningfully and said that they have been waiting for you inside! My mother has long wanted to meet you to see how ugly this future son-in-law Chenglong Kuai is.

In an instant, my heart shrank into a ball nervously, and my feet were no longer flexible.

My girlfriend saw that I was sweating so nervously that I laughed at me for being hopeless.

She said she wasn’t afraid. With grandpa here, my parents didn’t dare to do anything.

I often hear my girlfriend mention that this grandfather is very kind, and I feel a little more confident.

Sure enough, grandpa is very kind. As soon as I arrived at the gate of the villa, I saw an old man with silver hair looking out.

Grandpa personally asked the nanny to pour me tea. I was flattered that this kind old man, the chairman of a large company, had no airs at all.

The girlfriend’s father had a straight face. Mom was okay, she smiled and asked me to sit down.

The mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at him, the more she likes him.

My grandfather and I chatted for a long time. When he found out that my family was from Jiaodong, he was very excited. He said emotionally that he was also from Jiaodong, and his father's generation traveled through Guandong to Northeast China.

My girlfriend took over the conversation and said no wonder I felt so close to him the first time I met him! It turns out that we are all from Jiaodong.

Before going out, grandpa took my hand and said that I must take him back to Jiaodong. He has always wanted to see his hometown.

The Chinese New Year is here in a blink of an eye, and my parents informed me that I must take my future daughter-in-law home this year.

My parents knew that I had found a good daughter-in-law who was knowledgeable and courteous, and that her family was such a virtuous person in a big company. They couldn't wait to meet my girlfriend.

My girlfriend’s grandfather insisted on sending his granddaughter away, but his girlfriend’s parents couldn’t resist and were worried about her health, so they had to take care of her along the way.

Dozens of luxury cars drove from the northeast to the countryside of Yantai.

It not only shocked the village, but also alarmed the mayor. My parents came all the way out to greet us, a little at a loss.

This time, Grandpa specially arranged for a group of company executives to come together, so that they could learn from Shandong people’s spirit and courage to venture into the world.

The mayor heard a report that the chairman of a well-known large company in the Northeast and all the company's executives were here. He thought that this was the God of Wealth descending from heaven, and he must not let go of this business opportunity.

When the mayor rushed to my house after a long journey, he saw two gray-haired old men holding hands with tears streaming down their faces.

My grandfather said this is my brother.

We were all stunned.

It turns out that my great-grandfather and my girlfriend’s great-grandfather were brothers who traveled to Guandong together in the late Qing Dynasty.

When crossing the sea, we encountered a typhoon. My great-grandfather threw his brother into the sea to save him.

My girlfriend’s grandfather said that his uncle saved his father with his life, and that’s why they are a family today. Before his death, his father told his son to repay his eldest brother's family.

For many years, he has been looking for our family, especially after he has accumulated hundreds of millions of wealth, he is getting older and his desire to repay his kindness is even more urgent.

My grandpa said we moved in the 1960s. So we were not found.

I didn’t expect that the girlfriend I was looking for turned out to be a descendant of my great-grandfather’s brother.

The two old people said it was God’s will, so that their spirits in heaven could rest in peace.

My girlfriend and I are very happy, and I am even happier. This way, my marriage with my girlfriend is finalized.

The mayor was also filled with emotion, saying that he never expected that the descendants of the Guandong people would have such good stories! He also sincerely hopes that my girlfriend’s grandfather can go to his hometown to invest and start an industry, and lead the elders in his hometown to become rich.

My girlfriend’s grandfather promised not only to return to his hometown to invest in and start a company, but also to return to his roots and retire in his hometown.

As things went smoothly, my parents and my girlfriend’s parents decided to get married during the Spring Festival next year, with no bride price required.

My father-in-law hopes that I will work in his company when I return and become his right-hand man. This way, when I get married next year, others will not say that I am a freeloader.

My girlfriend’s grandfather said that after the company in my hometown is established, he will leave it to me to manage.

My girlfriend said that if you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, if you marry a dog, follow the dog. When the time comes, she will also go back to my hometown with me.

I will definitely reply. Since the reform and opening up, Shandong has developed rapidly, while Northeast China has developed relatively slowly. Now many descendants of Shandong people who traveled to Guandong have chosen to return to Shandong for development, just like their ancestors who traveled to Guandong and followed the original trajectory back home.

Back then, the people of Northeast China used their broad minds to accept the Shandong people who came from afar to seek life. Today, the people of Shandong will welcome you back.

Do as the Romans do, and wherever you go, you will benefit that person. The ancestors who traveled to Guandong created the prosperity of Northeast China, and they hope that people who return to their hometowns in Shandong from the Northeast can also bring prosperity to their hometowns.

How to say? Sighing, going home, going back to my hometown, going back to "Hainan home" will always be a worry for the older generation.

I am an authentic person born in Northeast China, located in Baishan City, Jilin (called Hunjiang at the time), located at the foot of Changbai Mountain.

When I was a child, my old mother often told me the story of "Hainan Family" and said that it was my hometown. As I talked, I often choked up and didn't speak.

At that time, the most annoying thing was the so-called Hainan family. A large group of people passed by our house and talked to my mother. They ate and drank for free. Before leaving, my mother had to take some food. Bring them with you. Once, I got angry and yelled at a group of people: "Let's all go away. Don't come to my house. If you come here once, you will make my mother cry. I hate you, don't come to my house."

My mother's family is relatively large. If I had not "starved" to travel to Guandong, there might not be me. At that time, Qingdao "supported the border" to the Northeast. My father, who worked on the railway, married my mother. It was quite interesting. Hehe, in that era, There are many interesting things, and there are many helpless things that cannot be said and have no choice.

When I was ten years old, I followed my parents back to the "Hainan home" that my mother had never forgotten. Because of the settlement, I neither went to my father's hometown (probably my grandfather's hometown) nor my mother's hometown. , settled in the current place without any relatives, and regarded it as home.

My old mother has always said that my father’s family is “Liu Peizi”, which means moving around. Hehe, except for the ancestral property left in the hometown and the eldest son of each family staying behind, other men , moved all over the province, and only went back once in a while to write down the names of the descendants in the genealogy book in the ancestral hall; when people got "old", they would set up a "mound" in the "forest" and it would be considered as returning home. . No way, this is a kind of awareness deep in the bones, it should be self-protection.

Yes, our ancestors were enfeoffed as "Wudinghou" during the Hongwu period. They were afraid of being "rooted" (court battles, history can be checked), so they hid one of our ancestors' branches (recorded in genealogy books) , together with the protective generals, they went into the valley to settle down. Haha, it’s quite interesting. Fortunately, King Yan took over the world, and the first ancestor just resigned from office. Later, he was also given the title of "Guo Gong", which is also a good story.

Back to the topic, "If you are poor, you will go south, if you are rich, you will go to Beijing, and if you die, you will go to Guandong." If it is not a last resort, who is willing to leave his hometown?

My hometown is the eternal concern of Shandong fellows in the Northeast!

As long as there is some way, "returning to my hometown in Hainan" is an obsession of the older generation. Many people even bother to close their eyes until the last moment, and they just want to "go home". .

It’s been a long time, and it has been reproduced for several generations. There are not many people of the older generation left. They have taken root in the country, and there are not many people in my hometown. I guess this obsession with "going back to my hometown" is not that strong. Once you get stronger, as long as your life is okay, the idea of ??returning to Shandong will gradually fade away.

Don’t take what one family says as true. Shandong fellows, don’t laugh at them.

From my perspective, it’s your choice. I am Junchuang Liu Deyu, and I will answer this question.

Water is a source and trees have roots. If you have relatives in your hometown in Shandong, you will definitely go back.

Today, I will talk to you about the return of people from Shandong in Northeast China. I was born in the Northeast and now live in Shandong. My grandfather's grandfather is also from Shandong. My ancestors came to Guandong. I remember when I was a child, there were three families of Shandong people in my neighborhood. We all privately called them "Little Shandong". Most Shandong people have some craftsmanship. Or do some small business, and life was pretty good at that time.

The first Shandong native was named Kan in the front yard of my house. There were 2 boys and 1 girl in the family, and 3 children. The eldest boy was the same age as me. Uncle Kan was a carpenter. I often went to his house to play. Later, in the 1990s, In the early 1990s, they moved back to their hometown in Shandong. Due to the age, they did not leave any contact information at that time, and they lost contact.

The second Shandong man’s surname was Li. His family ran a grocery store at the time. I often went to his house to buy things. He had a son and a daughter. When “”Li Shandong” left Northeast China, he did something very unusual. As a matter of righteousness, he went door-to-door to borrow money from his neighbors. Then on a dark and stormy night, the family packed up their clothes and took away everyone, leaving a lot of curses. At that time, information was not developed, so he thought he would arrive in Shandong. The end of the world, because the money was not big, no one looked for him again.

The third Shandong man was also a carpenter, and he had two sons. All the relatives in his hometown in Shandong are gone and have never returned to Shandong. His two sons are doing well. The eldest has gone to the south, and the second has opened a hotel in the northeast and is somewhat famous in the local area.

< p> I generally feel that Shandong people are kind, have a strong sense of hard work, hard work, and living at home. They are diligent and not lazy, and they live their lives in a "good way." If there are people in my hometown, they will choose to return to Shandong. The Northeastern migratory people, who can be regarded as descendants of Shandong, were born in the Northeast, grew up in the Northeast, and finally settled in Shandong. There are many reasons for this, but when you truly integrate into Shandong, the "Guanli" in your heart when you were a child, you feel the living conditions and happiness of Shandong people. The index is quite high. Whether it is economy, politics, culture, climate, life, etc., I think Shandong is a very comfortable place. I don’t know if I am right. You are welcome to communicate in the comment area. You are in Shandong. Are you okay?

It has been 200 years since Shandong people crossed the Guandong region. My ancestors also crossed the Guandong region and reached the Northeast. Two hundred years of history, two hundred years of history, have been earth-shaking changes in the mountains and rivers, and the stars have changed the world. The Shandong people who entered Guandong have deeply and firmly rooted themselves in the black soil of Northeast China. They are all the land of China. , are all descendants of Yan and Huang, and the Northeast is their home, so there is no need to go back to their hometown in Shandong to live. If you want to go back to your hometown in Shandong to find your ancestors, you can do it at any time. If you want to go back to your hometown in Shandong to visit your ancestors, you can Look, the transportation is so convenient, you can go back anytime!

I have returned to Shandong many times due to work, and I have been in Shandong for more than one trip at most! Over the past month, I have visited the beautiful rivers and mountains of Shandong Province, and appreciated the local customs and customs of Shandong Province, especially the Weihai area of ??Yantai, which is located on the Shandong Peninsula. Where was my hometown in Shandong before I broke into Guandong? After I came back, I asked the elders at home and found out that our hometown was Laiyang County, the former Dengzhou Prefecture, Shandong Province, which is now the Yantai area.

The history of the people who invaded the Guandong is already very far away. The descendants of Shandong who entered the Guandong have already taken root in the Northeast and are living in the Northeast. They will never return to Shandong Province again because these people who entered the Guandong The descendants of the Shandong people have cultivated land in the Northeast. The Northeast Plains are rich in land resources. The black land in the Northeast Plains can fully support these descendants who came to Guandong. They can live a life without worries about food and clothing here. Of course, The descendants of these Shandong people will also go back to Shandong to visit and worship their ancestors, because their roots are in Shandong. They are also Shandong people in the Northeast, and they also welcome the fathers and fellows of Shandong. Come and see the Northeast!

To be honest, when Shandong people broke into Guandong, it was a road of no return. How many people died on the way to Guandong, and they could not come back after they left. Besides, after I come back, my family is gone and my fields are gone. Can I still come back? Now that I'm back, I can only trace my roots and pay homage to my ancestors. There is also a large family that traveled to Guandong together. Even if their descendants return to Shandong is gone, the roots of Shandong are broken, the ancestors are gone, and the roots can no longer be found, and the ancestors can no longer be worshiped!

The main reason why Shandong people came to Guandong at that time was that Shandong's agriculture was backward, with a large population and little land, and no water conservancy facilities. If there was a drought or flood, Shandong people who relied on the weather for food could only go out to beg for food.

Why did Shandong people choose to go to the Northeast when they were fleeing famine and begging for food? The main factor was that the Northeast had vast black land with few people and a lot of wasteland. As long as you had the strength and endured hardships, you would have food to eat. Therefore, the Northeast is the best place for Shandong people to escape and beg for food.

At that time, the number of people who fled to the Northeast to escape famine could be as high as millions. It was probably also an automatic migration of farmers. The ancestors who came to Guandong back then settled down in the Northeast and lived a better life than their hometown in Shandong, so they had no intention of returning to their hometown.

After liberation, the Northeast has become an important industrial base in our country. Coupled with the large areas of black land, the Northeast has become the most popular industrial city in the Northeast with the best life and work. Therefore, it is said to be the second largest industrial city in the Northeast. The third generation Shandong people have no idea of ??returning to their hometown. In the late period of reform and opening up, due to the rapid economic development of Shandong, the total industrial and agricultural output value greatly exceeded the economic development of the Northeast. Only the descendants of Shandong in the Northeast had the opportunity to visit relatives and friends in their hometown. I only know the name of the county or village where my hometown was in Shandong, but basically I can't even contact my close relatives. People who say that the Northeast is a good place now live in the Northeast, and people from Shandong have no possibility of returning to their hometown.

In the early days of liberation, the country’s economy was in dire straits, and the wounds caused by the war were difficult to heal in a short period of time. Especially in rural areas, three years of natural disasters had hit the country, and every family was short of food and clothing. belly. In order to survive, many people dragged their children and children on the long road of survival through Guandong. Begging along the way, many people stayed in their hometowns forever due to fatigue from the journey or illness.

The journey to Guandong is also a history of struggle for Shandong people, and it is also a history of blood and sweat. Elderly people in the Northeast often say: In the Northeast, most people are Shandong people who broke through Guandong, or are Shandong people. Descendants.

Shandong people are upright and hard-working. Their strengths are that they are bold and careful in doing things and dare to think and do. With this persistence, most Shandong people who traveled to Guandong established their roots in the Northeast and reproduced their descendants. Whether in rural areas or cities, Shandong people are everywhere; they are all playing a role in the revitalization of Northeast China in their respective positions.

With the development of reform and opening up, Shandong’s economic take-off is even more eye-catching; especially in the 1990s, some people living in the rural areas of Northeast China saw the changes in their hometown and returned home one after another. When I arrived in Shandong, I started my second business, and a large number of outstanding talents emerged, adding vitality to the development of my hometown.

Relatively few Shandong people who have settled in cities return to Shandong due to work reasons.

The situation across the country is now very good, and people's ideas have also undergone fundamental changes. There is no big difference between being in the Northeast and back in Shandong. As long as you work hard, you can live a good life anywhere. Today's young people, there are not a few who go to the Northeast to study and develop, but they just want to go to the East and the East.
