【Abstract】 This paper, by using local documents, explores the formation process of the overseas Chinese hometown society in Meizhou, a Hakka area in northeastern Guangdong in modern times. In modern times, a large number of Hakka people from Meizhou went to Southeast Asia to make a living. As a result, there were many overseas Chinese and their relatives in Meizhou, and their proportion was relatively high. Men from Meizhou went to Southeast Asia to work, while women managed the household affairs, leading to a clear social division of labor. The characteristics of Hakka women being diligent and capable became more prominent. With the large inflow of "Fan Qian", social customs changed. "Fan Ke" became a term of praise, and extravagance became popular. Meizhou people regar ded Southeast Asia as an "external province". By 1912, the entire society had undergone significant changes, marking the formation of the overseas Chinese hometown in Meizhou.更多还原
