Ngai people in Vietnam are a branch of Hakka who immigrated to Vietnam from Mainland China. They belong to two different ethnic groups, namely ethnic Hoa and ethnic Ngai. This paper investigates the two different groups of Ngai people from three aspects and shows that they originally belonged to the same ethnic group. Their divergence in ethnic grouping is due to socio-political factors. One is related to the Nong Autonomous Region from 1947 to 1954, and the other is related to the Sino-Vietnamese War in 1978- 1979. The anti-Chinese political sentiment, the economic concessions, the ethnic policy in Vietnam and the ‘peasant economy' thinking in some Ngai people are four contributors to the transformation of identity in Ngai people. |
