Joseonjok
The term "Joseonjok" refers to ethnic Koreans who reside in China, particularly in the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture of Jilin Province. They are descendants of Koreans who migrated to China during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Joseonjok maintain their unique cultural identity, including language, traditions, and customs, while also integrating aspects of Chinese culture.
Joseonjok primarily speak the Korean language and celebrate traditional Korean holidays such as Chuseok and Seollal. They have their own schools and cultural organizations that promote the preservation of their heritage. Despite facing challenges related to identity and integration, Joseonjok continue to contribute to the cultural diversity of China.
