Yes the Fuzhou Chinese, we are very different Chinese people.
Our Language is non chinese traditional branch of dialects. Non Fuzhou cannot understand the language. It is known as 平話. As our ancestors were all warriors, our food staple is rounded flour buscuits(kong pian) which they carry into battles, these are edible for up to 6 months. There is a hole in the middle of the buscuits for strings thru and carried around their necks as their food rations for the duration of battles. Our main non battle staples is the red wine chicken feet Fuzhou Flour Vermicelli Noodles 福州線面 which is why we seem have the alcohol gene and have very high alcohol tolerance. Other staples is the 福州淋面 and 福州鱼丸(Fuzhou fish balls). Because of our warring ancestral lines, we tend to be very tough hardy breed with very heavy bone structures. My ancestors were Qing Dynasty subjects, commissioned to Nanyang to serve dealings with western trade. They was known as the Qing dragons then. Because we were entrusted and commissioned for our tasks to serve. The tradition and dragon colours is still passed to our first borns even when the dynasty no longer exist anymore. In the years after the Mao era, we became british subjects due to the destruction of the dynasty. Later japanese subjects during the Jap occupation of Malaya, later subjects of the Kings of the Malayan peninsula until the late 50s. There are not many of us of original linage in the world. We can be found mostly in sitiawan, sibu, and new york. Of the 2 ship load that left fuzhou. 1 berthed at Sibu. the other at Singapore. and they cut their way from sg to sitiawan. I was taught that many in Fuzhou china is not of the orginal 12 wells of Fuzhou, as most had been killed resisting the long march revolution and communications severed, although is not clear if there are any left. The nemisis of being warrior class, seems the price we pay for extinction. We are trained from early ages into warring arts and the sense of honour and trustworthyness ingrained into our value system from childhood. Indiscipline and rogueness is unacceptable behaviors in our community. Because of our competitive livestyle systems I hear that some people find us difficult people. No doubt some of us had moved over to the dark side of life. In short, just wanted say that I am not typical chinese. Sometimes i wonder of its accuracy although by classification I am chinese. My education is based british, as my parents were then british subjects of the Malayan Archipelago aka Nanyang. We are predominantly Christian.
