Taipei, Nov. 30 (CNA) Two descendants of Taiwan's indigenous Tsou tribe from a small village in China's Henan Province are currently on a roots-tracing visit to Taiwan to learn more about their tribal heritage and their clan.
Chen Chaohu and Chen Chaojie are visiting Taiwan for the first time and are scheduled to travel to the Tsou tribe's home territory around Taiwan's famous Alishan mountain resort later this week to pay tribute to their ancestors.
The Chen clan can trace its ancestry back 13 generations to Alishan in southern Taiwan's Chiayi County, according to media reports.
The Chens are the 12th-generation offspring of Tsou tribesman Yina Silo, who along with his brother joined the army of Cheng Cheng-Kung (1624-1662), better known in the West as Koxinga, to expel Dutch colonists.
