It wasn't until 1949, when the war between the nationalists and communists came to a close and the "new China" was established, that a new wave of returnees hit the mainland's shores. From 1950-1960, an estimated 200,000-plus returned to China, and the vast majority of these were young people.
直至一九四九年，國共內戰底定，「新中國」成立後，才掀起另一波回國高潮。估計從五○年至六○年代，總數達二十多萬歸僑絡繹返國，其中絕大多數是年輕人。
