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 province with a large population, 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.

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

I was born in Shandong in the Northeast. 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 these things, 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. From my point of view, 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 children. The eldest was my child. 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. People are diligent and not lazy, and they live a good life. 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?

I was born in the Northeast and grew up in the Northeast. My father came to the Northeast when I was 18 years old. I went back to my hometown to see myself. My roots were there. At that time, I had several relatives in my hometown, including two aunts, one uncle, one uncle, and one younger cousin.

My father passed away that year, and when one of my uncles and nephews sent his father back to Shandong, he also took my father back to his hometown and buried his ashes there.

Later, my mother also passed away. I visited my hometown again. This time, I was very sad. My uncle and sister were all gone, but there was only one cousin who came back to meet me. , a cousin. Most importantly, my uncle’s son and grandson were very kind to me. I was very touched and even regretted that I should have come back earlier.

My mother was also sent back to her hometown to be buried together with these relatives, who worked hard and contributed a lot to their business. I am really grateful that if the epidemic is over this year, I will come back to Shandong soon. Relatives. Shandong people are warm and respectful. I am proud of my ancestral home in Shandong. I will go back!

Let’s talk about the most magnificent migration from Shandong to Northeast China at that time. Countless people came to the Northeast.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were countless people from Shandong who came to the fertile land of the Northeast to build the Great Northern Wilderness.

Both eras have proved that a large part, more than half, of the people who migrated from Shandong to live in Northeast China eventually returned to their hometown in Shandong. The reason is that the climate in my hometown in Shandong is more comfortable than the cold weather in the Northeast. The overall economic development of Shandong, especially since the reform and opening up, is far superior to the three northeastern provinces. Its transportation network construction, urban and rural construction, basic natural environment changes, and excellent coastal resources are all indispensable to the Northeast. Comparable. From an economic perspective, many people who moved to Northeast China finally chose to return to their hometown in Shandong after a relatively horizontal comparison.

Of course, this kind of return is not 100%, and a large part of them stay in the Northeast, but most of their relatives are in Shandong. Many people hope to return to their hometown in their last few years. It’s also to seek a fallen leaf to return to its roots.

I was born in Northeast China, and my parents are both from Shandong. My idea is that I can’t go back even if I want to. My fathers fled to the Northeast back then and lived in that black land for more than half a century. I was born in 1963 and am almost 60 years old this year. The ashes of my parents will remain on that land forever [crying]. My biggest wish is to return to Shandong in my lifetime. To find my roots.

When someone asks me where your hometown is, I will say without hesitation that I am from Shandong. Although I have not been to Shandong yet, my heart has always been longing for Shandong. The blood of Shandong people flows in my body (a little excited), Shandong is waiting for your son who is wandering outside. I will come back to see you.

Shandong and Heilongjiang are inextricably linked. It can be said that if you keep cutting it, it will become messy. I am in you, you are in me. The roots are intertwined and the bones and flesh are connected. Back then, our village had the largest number of people from Shandong. Although most of them have gone back now. But there is also a small part that has not left. I will always be rooted in Heilongjiang. What needs to be explained here is that some people from Heilongjiang have gone to Shandong. My nephew and nephew are both teaching in Shandong. Married to a Shandong girl. My classmates all bought houses in Qingdao. There are also fellow villagers who went to Rongcheng, Shandong Province with their Shandong wife. There are also many relatively wealthy retirees who have bought retirement homes in coastal cities in Shandong. Therefore, Shandong and Heilongjiang are like one family.

First of all, I don’t quite understand what the questioner refers to by “returning to my hometown”? This can be understood from two aspects, one is to go back to my hometown to visit, and the other is to go back to live in my hometown again.

Tell me about examples of people around me. My aunt followed her uncle and her eldest son from her hometown in Shandong to Heilongjiang in Northeast China. It was part of her journey to Guandong in those years. She later settled there and gave birth to three more sons. In this way, the old couple and their four sons lived in Northeast China all their lives. Over the years, my aunt and uncle have come back three or two times with the children. After all, the journey is far away, and the transportation was not developed in the past. The trains were not only slow but also not direct, so it was only in the past ten years that my aunt and her family came back one after another. Visiting relatives in my hometown.

Of the four sons of my aunt’s family in my hometown in Shandong, it is estimated that only the boss has some impression, and the others have only heard about it. They got married and had children in Heilongjiang, and even had grandchildren. Therefore, they have long regarded themselves as part of the Northeastern people. In recent years, as the national granary, Northeastern has developed rapidly with large oil fields, coal mines, and heavy industry enterprises. It is no longer the Peking University when it entered Guandong. The Shandong people who came to Guandong in the Northeast are now living and working in peace and contentment in the Northeast.

Now, with the developed transportation and network, Shandong people in the Northeast no longer feel that their hometown is far away. As long as they have time, they will come back to visit at any time!

This is a very special problem, and it is also a problem that often occurs in the homes of many people who were born in the Northeast and whose ancestral home is Shandong... My father was a college student who graduated in 1958 and came to Shenyang, Northeast China. At that time, my father was my grandfather. The pride of you is also the pride of the whole family! Grandpa’s two younger brothers both came to Northeast China from Shandong to pan for gold in 1938. Later, one settled in Harbin and the other got married and had children in Siping, Jilin! In the late 1970s, the two old people often asked their father to stay for a few days, because his father was the eldest son and grandson of the entire family (from the late Ming Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty, our family has always been the eldest son). In 1981, my grandfather went to Harbin. I also persuaded my two younger brothers to return to their hometown in Shandong, but their children did not agree. The reason is that they all had urban household registration at the time, and they all had good jobs. The old man did not feel at ease returning to live as his children! Later, in 1992, my grandfather was 83 years old, and he once again asked his father and me to accompany him to Harbin. The three elder brothers got together, and my grandfather once again proposed that the two younger brothers return to their hometown in Shandong. At this time, the second grandfather made it clear that his age I don’t want to go back when I’m older... Grandpa is very disappointed but there is nothing he can do! He really wanted to live with his two younger brothers and spend the rest of his life happily, but reality ruthlessly rejected his grandfather! I think this may be the same helplessness and regret shared by most of the first generation Northeasterners who came from Shandong Province! It should be said that most of the second-generation Shandong descendants who were born in the Northeast do not want to go back. The customs, customs, regional differences, and living habits have long been different!

This all depends on personal choice. As the most economically powerful province in the north, Shandong is the most worthwhile place to visit in the entire north besides Beijing and Tianjin.

If you are a migrant worker, you will most likely return to Shandong. After all, the economic conditions in Shandong are much better. You and your family can enjoy better education and medical resources in Shandong, and there is also room for improvement in your family and career. will be bigger.

But if you have already started a family and started a business in the Northeast, and your family members are all in the Northeast, there is no need to go back. Compared with Shandong, the pressure of life in the Northeast is still less, especially for middle-aged and elderly people. The living environment in the Northeast is not bad now.
