2023 Qilin Lecture Series on Chinese Culture<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Emigration from\/through Hong Kong 1850-1950<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Prof. Elizabeth Sinn Yuk Yee<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Between 1850 and 1950, tens of thousands of Chinese passengers left Hong Kong for different parts of the world to trade, to work as laborers and seamen, and to find gold in Gold Mountain regions such as California, Australia, Canada and New Zealand. Most of them originated from the Pearl River Delta. As importantly, many returned to their home villages through Hong Kong. In the process of these comings and goings, Hong Kong became an entrep\u00f4t for people and many aspects of its social and economic developments were deeply affected by these movements. This talk will also highlight Hong Kong\u2019s place in modern China and in the Chinese diaspora.<\/span><\/p>\n
