The Hokkien are the major ethnic group of Taiwan, migrating from Fujian Province, People's Republic of China, between 1600 and 1890. They speak the Southern Min dialect of southern Fujian. Until 1950s, Hokkien Taiwanese were farmers and fishermen. Since then they have became successful entrepreneurs leading Taiwan's remarkable postwar industrial transformation and growth. With the lifting of martial law in 1989, they have also become among the nation's political leaders and elite.
