The pictures of right side are my hometown-ZhanJiang city, there are my friends on the right top, that picture was taken when we finish the final exam of high school, we got a long long vocation during the summer so that we went to the DongHai island that near of my hometown for a week. Many graduated students of my school we would take a trip for celebration that we graduated. And in that trip we made a wish our friendship can be last forever.

And the left side two big pictures are the Hakka culture, my father is Hakka. That picture was taken in MeiZhou district. That place like a museum that reproduces a lot of Hakka culture in there. The Hakka people are a group of North Chinese who migrated to South China, especially Kwangtung and Fukien provinces, during the fall of the Southern Sung dynasty in the 1270s. Their origins remain obscure, but the people who became the Hakka are thought to have lived originally in Honan and Shansi provinces in the Huang Ho(Yellow River) valley. They moved southward in two large migrations, one in the early 4th century and another in the late 9th century, perhaps to escape warfare or the domination of Inner Asian tribesmen. Their final migration in the 13th century took them farther south to their present areas of concentration. The name Hakka means guest people which the northerners were called to distinguish them from the natives.
Having settled in South China in their own communities, the Hakka never became fully assimilated into the native population. Unlike most other Chinese before the 20th century, they never allowed their women to bind their feet, and they speak a language that has affinities with both Cantonese, the language of the people of Guongdong province, and Mandarin, the language of much of northern and central China.
