We have updated the Hakka History Section with more detailed versions of the CURRENTLY MOST WIDELY ACCEPTED THEORIES AS PUT FORWARD INITIALLY BY WESTERN SCHOLARS (NOTABLY CHRISTIAN MISSIONARY RELATED, AS THE ISOLATION AND MARGINALIZATION OF HAKKA, MADE HAKKA MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO ALTERNATE VISIONS OF SOCIETY, INCLUDING BUDDHISM, CHRISTIANITY AND SOCIALISM/COMMUNISM) AND LATER BY CHINESE ACADEMICS THEMSELVES)
Of particular interest is the DOCUMENTED Historical Changes in Chinese/Hakka History in Hawaii, where the Hakka from around Macao (the Zhongshan/Xiangshan)) joined their fellow Cantonese, in Hawaii. And competed (organized more along Christian Organized Groups) with the Original Cantonese-speaking Zhongshan, and later the See Yup (which came from counties to the West of Macao/Zhongshan, in the Pearl River Delta, notably the Taishanese) .
At the same time, Christianized Hakka (notable among them was a young gentleman, later to be known as Sun Yat Sen) began involvement in Reformist Qing Politics vs Revisionist Qing Politics, pushed by the unsuccessful 100 Days Reformist, chief architect being Liang Qichao, who was resident in Macao.
This heralded the beginnings of the Taiping Rebellion, and eventually FORCED MIGRATION to NanYang, Japan and to a lesser extent (with more peasants) to Formosa (modern day Taiwan, when it was still relatively under Portuguese influence).
