ABSTRACT

The history of a real sense of “overseas Chinese in Republic of Korea”originated from the Korean War. In 1948, the Korea Peninsular was split into two countries--Republic of Korea and Democracy Peoples Republic of Korea. Since then, many Chinese people have remained staying in Republic of Korea and attained a nationality of “Republic of China”. Those Chinese immigrants who resided in Republic of Korea and were ruled by the Taiwan government were considered the first generation of “overseas Chinese in Republic of Korea”. They were forced to leave their destinations were lack of clear identity, they had long been in a suspending state. They are the “Diaspora” in Republic of Korea society. The overseas Chinese in Republic of Korea are always on the horns of a dilemma. The native Republic of Korean people will always think them as foreigners, but if they change their nationality into Republic of Korea, they will be discarded by the oversea Chinese society. If they come to Taiwan, they are thought as Republic of Korea people, and if they settle back down in the Chinese mainland, they are thoughs as Taiwan people living in Republic of Korea. They want to know who they are and where they belong to. In order to “accommodate”themselves to the environment, they have to give their affections to Chinese mainland, to Taiwan, of course, more to Republic of Korea.
