Because my family settled in Northeast China before relocating to the Korean Peninsula, I am now a fourth-generation Chinese immigrant in North Korea. During the early years of the Republic of China, many Chinese migrated to Korea due to the turbulent East Asian political landscape, forming a community of Chinese expatriates. In North Korea, the Chinese community was positioned below Japanese and North Korean residents but still managed to establish roots locally. By sharing my personal experiences, I hope to help more people understand the reality of Chinese expatriates in North Korea.
