Research On The Social Integration And National Identity Of Returned Overseas Chinese

From the 50 s to the 70 s of the 20 th century,due to the hegemony of the United States and the Soviet Union and the gradual cooling of Sino-Soviet relations,anti-China movements occurred in some Southeast Asian countries,persecuting and expelling overseas Chinese,resulting in a wave of returning migrants.In order to rescue the overseas Chinese in distress,the Chinese government has decided to receive and resettle these refugees.From the founding of the People’s Republic of China to the 1980 s,the Chinese government received and resettled five groups of returned overseas Chinese.Due to the small number of the first three groups of returned overseas Chinese,most of them were scattered and resettled to their places of origin or enterprise factories.The latter two batches were resettled in batches on overseas Chinese farms due to the large number of people.According to statistics,the total number of returned overseas Chinese resettled in China is about one million,most of them from Indonesia,Vietnam,the Philippines,Malaysia and other Southeast Asian countries.At this point,the number of resettled people in rural and urban areas tends to be saturated,and it is impossible to resettle later returned overseas Chinese in the short term.The Chinese Government is considering adopting a policy of "resettlement according to nationality" and in accordance with the wishes and specialties of returned overseas Chinese,some returned overseas Chinese will be resettled into factories in a planned manner to concentrate on industrial production.In 1955,Guangzhou Heavy Machinery Factory(hereinafter referred to as "Guangzhou Heavy Factory")participated in the resettlement of returned overseas Chinese.At this time,it was the third transformation and expansion of the Guangzhong,which needed a large number of high-quality technical personnel,so it accepted this group of returned overseas Chinese with a high level of education and certain skills,and these returned overseas Chinese made significant contributions to the development of the Guangzhong.Until the early 1990 s,due to technological innovation,enterprise restructuring,urbanization and other reasons,the traditional business model of the Guangzhongyuan Plant was difficult to sustain,production and operation were difficult,the Guangzhongyuan Plant withdrew from the historical stage as an industrial entity,and all employees,including returned overseas Chinese,were placed under the management of the territorial community.In order to help returned overseas Chinese integrate into the local society as soon as possible,the government has actively established overseas Chinese tuition schools,and given preferential measures such as medical insurance,housing security,work settlement,subsidies,and special affairs.To a certain extent,these measures have promoted the smooth integration of returned overseas Chinese into local society,cultivated their sense of loyalty to the motherland,and shaped their national identity and national identity.The social integration and cultural adaptation of the returned overseas Chinese group is an inevitable result of historical development,and this integration is a slow and unchangeable process.In this process,immigrants have experienced different periods of cultural collision,adjustment,identity and integration.The population of returned overseas Chinese at the Guangzhongplant is constantly aging,and over time,this part of the elderly will also grow old.Its descendants will accelerate localization and fully integrate into the local society,which is an inevitable historical necessity and an inevitable requirement and important path for forging a strong sense of the Chinese national community.
