Xiamen: A Phoenix Rising from the Waves – History, Geography, and Enduring Identity

 

To truly appreciate Xiamen today, it's essential to understand its unique geographical setting and the compelling historical narrative that has shaped its distinct identity as a modern, yet historically rich, coastal city.

 

An Island City on the Strait:

 

Xiamen is fundamentally an island city, primarily comprising Xiamen Island (where the main urban area is located), Gulangyu Island, and a section of the mainland (Jimei, Haicang, Tong'an, Xiang'an districts). It sits strategically on the western side of the Taiwan Strait, facing Kinmen Island (part of Taiwan). This insular geography has profoundly influenced its history, making it a natural deep-water port and a crucial strategic point. Its warm, subtropical climate adds to its allure as a "garden city."

 

A Port of Pioneers: From Tea Trade to Treaty Port (17th - 19th Century):

 

Xiamen boasts a long history as a trading hub, predating the formal establishment of many other modern Chinese cities.

  • Early Maritime Trade: From the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), Xiamen was an important port for coastal trade and, later, for the lucrative tea trade with Europe. It was one of the earliest points of contact between China and the West, particularly with European merchants and missionaries.

  • Zheng Chenggong (Koxinga): The city holds significant historical ties to Zheng Chenggong (郑成功), known as Koxinga in the West, a Ming Dynasty loyalist who used Xiamen as a base in the 17th century to resist the Qing invaders and eventually expelled the Dutch from Taiwan. His legacy as a national hero is deeply embedded in Xiamen's identity.

  • Opium Wars and Treaty Port Status: Like Shantou, Xiamen was one of the five original "treaty ports" opened to foreign trade by the Treaty of Nanjing in 1842, following the First Opium War. This led to a significant influx of foreign merchants, consuls, and missionaries, who established their presence, particularly on Gulangyu Island, leaving a distinct architectural and cultural footprint. This period fostered Xiamen's early development into a modern port city and a key hub for overseas Chinese emigration.

 

A Hub of Overseas Chinese (Huaqiao) and SEZ Success (20th - 21st Century):

 

Xiamen has a strong and enduring connection to the Overseas Chinese diaspora, particularly the Hokkien (Minnan) people, who migrated from Fujian to Southeast Asia (Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia) and other parts of the world.

  • Migration and Remittances: Economic hardship and civil strife in past centuries led to massive emigration from Xiamen and Fujian. These overseas Chinese (Huaqiao) often maintained strong ties with their hometowns, sending back remittances and investing in local development, leading to the construction of schools, hospitals, and unique architectural styles (like the "Nanyang style" villas).

  • Special Economic Zone (SEZ): In 1980, Xiamen was designated one of China's first four Special Economic Zones (SEZs), a crucial part of China's reform and opening-up policy. This status spurred rapid industrialization, infrastructure development, and attracted significant foreign investment, transforming Xiamen into a thriving economic powerhouse.

  • Modern Vibrancy: Today, Xiamen balances its historical heritage with its modern economic prowess. It's known for its high quality of life, clean environment, and a laid-back yet vibrant atmosphere, often lauded as one of China's most livable cities.
