Xialuhe Korean Ethnic Township (simplified Chinese: 下露河朝鲜族乡; traditional Chinese: 下露河朝鮮族鄉; pinyin: Xiàlùhé Cháoxiǎnzú Xiāng), also known as Haroha Korean Ethnic Township (Korean: 하로하조선족향; Hanja: 下露河朝鮮族鄕; RR: Haroha Joseonjok Hyang; MR: Haroha Chosŏnjok Hyang),[2] is an ethnic township in Kuandian Manchu Autonomous County, Dandong, Liaoning Province, China.[3] Located 63.8 kilometres (39.6 mi) east of the county center,[3] the township spans an area of 269.84 square kilometres (104.19 sq mi),[1] and is home to 10,887 people as of 2018.[1]

History

Throughout the 1920s on through the 1940s, the area of present-day Xialuhe was a hotbed of Korean independence armies, who often sparred with occupying Japanese forces.[4]

In 1958, Xialuhe Township was created.[3][2] Xialuhe was re-designated from a township to an ethnic township in 1987.[3]

Administrative divisions

Xialuhe is divided into 6 administrative villages.[5]

  • Majiazi/Magaja (马架子村, 마가자촌)[4]
  • Lianjiang (连江村)
  • Tongjiang/Tonggang (通江村, 통강촌)[4]
  • Chuangou/Cheongu(川沟村, 천구촌)[4]

Demographics

Xialuhe Korean Ethnic Township has a population of 10,887 as of 2018.[1]

As of 2010, the ethnic township had a population of 10,370, of which there are 5,371 males and 4,999 females.[6] That year, there were 1,327 people aged 14 and under, 7,941 people aged 15 to 64, and 1,102 people aged 65 and up.[6]

A 2009 estimate placed Xialuhe's population at about 11,200.[4]

As of 2007, there were approximately 1,100 ethnic Koreans living in Xialuhe,[2] however, Xialuhe's ethnic Korean population has declined in recent years,[4] largely due to low birth rates, migration to urban areas, and emigration to South Korea.[4] By the 2010s, a local Korean language newspaper reported that many schoolchildren in Xialuhe cannot speak Korean.[4]

Education

Since the establishment of the People's Republic of China, a number of bilingual schools teaching in both Mandarin Chinese and Korean have been established in Xialuhe.[4] However, due to the decline in the local ethnic Korean population, a number of these schools have been closed or merged in recent years.[4]
