Shandong Migrants in Harbin During the 1940s

Manchuria, or Northeast China, was a migrant society in which the majority of the population came from Shandong and Hebei during the late 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. However, Manchuria’s migration history in the period of Manchukuo, a puppet state controlled by Imperial Japan from 1932 to 1945, is a topic to which most scholars have paid little attention. However, the Shandong migrant group in the 1940s has a vital role in the understanding of the nature of Manchukuo, the relationship between the Japanese, Chinese collaborators, and ordinary Chinese as well as the formation of Chinese society and nationalism. In this project, I will focus on Daowai, a Chinese community that was a hub of Shandong migrants in the city of Harbin in the 1940s. TO BE CONT’D
