Abstract

At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, with the construction of the Middle East Railway, Jews successively moved to Harbin, a central city in Northeast China as well as a strategic hub of communications between Europe and Asia in the Far East. In less than 50 years, the number of Jewish immigrants in Harbin has reached more than 20,000. The Jewish associations, communities, schools, chambers of Commerce and religious synagogues played an extraordinary role in the fields of politics, economy and culture. Due to historical reasons, there are few written records of the track of Jews in Harbin left. This paper reproduces the whole track of Jewish immigrants moving in, expanding, developing and moving out of Harbin from different aspects. The author consulted the remaining historical materials, combined with the city chronicles at that time and referred to the analysis of experts, to explore the impact of the legacy of Jewish culture in Harbin and surrounding areas and to show the merits of Chinese people in embrace culture variety.
