Features: The history of Chinese overseas Chinese is both a heart-wrenching story of sorrow and a splendid history of cultural exchange. Scholars from Peking University, the Chinese Overseas Chinese History Society, the Overseas Chinese Research Institute of the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, and more than ten other institutions have devoted over three years of effort to compile this comprehensive and systematic reference book introducing the history and current status of overseas Chinese. It includes over 7,000 entries, covering a wide range of topics such as the general overview of Chinese communities worldwide, historical geography, cultural relics and historical sites, prominent figures and organizations, political, economic, and cultural aspects, historical events and major activities, various legal treaties and policies, newspapers and publications, and proper nouns, making it an encyclopedic dictionary on overseas Chinese. The book is easy to search, provides detailed information, emphasizes scientific rigor, academic standards, and objectivity, and incorporates the latest research findings from both domestic and international sources.
