General Xue Yue, a famous northern expedition anti-Japanese star who followed Dr. Sun Yat-sen for many years in his early years, told Mr. Xie Fujian, a famous Hakka expert in Taiwan Province Province, that Dr. Sun Yat-sen himself said that he was originally from Zijin County and was a Hakka in Dongjiang. Mrs. Sun also autographed Mr. Xie's work: "The first person is a Hakka, and his hometown is in Zijin." What is particularly commendable is that Mr. Zhongshan himself once said that he was a Hakka and admitted the origin of Hakka.

According to the article "The Origin of Sun Yat-sen's Family and Hakkas" written by Mr. Yang Qingping, "Sun Yat-sen met the visiting Hakkas in the Grand Marshal's Mansion one day, talked about many national affairs and got more instructions from Mr. Meng. They all expressed admiration. Before leaving, a Hakka said to Dr. Sun Yat-sen,' Mr. Sun Yat-sen, are you a Hakka?' Mr. Zhongshan replied affirmatively:' Yes, yes!'
