It also touches the history of anti-Chinese riots in Indonesia and how the riots forced the ethnic Chinese to relocate. The author focuses his study mainly on the immigration process of how the Hakkas moved from Meizhou, Guangdong, China to Indonesia, what kind of struggle they experienced in Indonesia, what roles and functions the Overseas Chinese Associations and related community organizations in Indonesia played to assist Meizhou Hakka immigrants, and how the anti-Chinese riots in Indonesia impacted the Hakka Overseas Chinese and forced them to relocate collectively in batches. In this research, the author has firstly traced back to Meizhou in Guangdong, the hometown of Hakkas. He has then explored how they moved to Indonesia to make a living, how badly they were hit by anti-Chinese riots, and how they were forced to move back to Taiwan or mainland China. The timelines of this research range from the Dutch colonial period to the Japanese occupation period to the Indonesian independence as a country. Interviewed are many people, including the folks living in Meizhou, overseas Chinese returning from Indonesia, and Chinese Indonesians. Purposes of this research are to understand (1) how the local overseas Chinese Association and related community organizations helped the Meizhou Hakkasto settle down after they had immigrated to Indonesia and (2) how the Indonesian government and native Indonesians persecuted overseas Chinese during the anti-Chinese riots and forced many of them to flee into exile. Conflict and hatred between Chinese Indonesians and native Indonesians have long been recorded in history. This research attempts to explain the situations from the historical origins, to explore the relationships between Chinese Indonesians and native Indonesians in a macroscopic way, and to understand the problems existing in the communities of Chinese Indonesians. In addition to literature reviews, the author has also interviewed a few people who have experienced the anti-Chinese riots in person. It is hoped that oral history can make up for the gaps in history and help explore the truth of the facts.
