Japanese war orphans pay tribute to adoptive Chinese parents at Heilongjiang cemetery

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Interesting , its very difficult sometimes for me , to distinguish if 2 people had very plain hair styles and clothes

 

[FairAndUnbiased]

I have a question do chinese and Japanese can each differentiate between each other ... like who is chinese and who is Japanese if you take the hair style away plain clothes

Just like Pakistanis and Iranians we look so much alike

depends. A Pakistani Punjabi and an Indian Punjabi are identical - they're both Punjabi, after all. However, Balochis are very Persian. Japanese are closest IMO to Eastern Wu Chinese (almond eyes, single eyelids, soft eyebrows, soft face) in appearance. I'm from central China, the heart of Chinese civilization since the Han. We don't look very Japanese (rounded eyes, double eyelids, strong eyebrows, sharp face, thin). Northerners look more Korean and Mongol (almond eyes, strong eyebrows, flat face, single eyelid, tall and muscular). Southerners look somewhat Southeast Asian (almond eyes, double eyelids, round face, shorter on average).

I literally baidu'ed for "Shanghai men and women" (representing Wu), "Wuhan men and women" (representing Central), "Northeastern men and women" (representing North) and "Cantonese men and women" (representing South).

Wu (Eastern China, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, parts of Shandong)

Central (Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Sichuan, Chongqing, Jiangxi, parts of Shanxi)

Northerners (Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Beijing, Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Qinghai)

Southerners (Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Yunnan, Fujian):

I am from Shanghai, we don't bear any resemblance with the Japanese.

The Japanese usually carry a strong Pacific islander look which is practically absent among the population from the eastern China.

Also, the northerners don't look like Koreans, I have seen many northerners by myself, and I can tell them apart from the Koreans most of time.

damn all good looking

LOL, you're the same guy that thought a guy from Hong Kong was a Japanese.

I think you don't know what you're talking about, buddy.

I know alot of northerners. Out of 4, 3 look very Korean including 2 girls. They are from Jilin and Shandong. 大饼脸小眼睛有木有~

However it is true that Japanese have strong Pacific Islander genes.

The folks from say Manchuria also bear some kind of semblance to Central Japanese.

This kind of Korean flat face phenotype mostly comes from Jilin near the Korean border.

The northeasterners from Harbin don't have many individuals with this kind of phenotype, they rather have long face and prominent nose.

The actor Sun Honglei is rather an exception, his phenotype would be considered quite exotic for a typical Harbiner.

LOL, you're the same guy that thought a guy from Hong Kong was a Japanese.

LOL

I can mistaken the overlapped phenotype among the Chinese and Japanese, but the typical Japanese phenotype, I won't mistaken it as the Chinese one.

They look different to me, not so much resemblance.

OK, maybe I have bias then, because most of my northerner friends are from Jilin and Shandong. I noticed that Hebei and Beijing were different. I also know a girl from Jiangsu who looks very Japanese from hair to even her legs.

Central Japanese women:

very different. notice single eyelids vs. double eyelids, sharper nose on the Chinese women, longer necks relative to head length and longer eyes.

Many northeasterners I've met have long horse face and prominent nose just like this actress.

BTW, she is from Jilin, but her face is still purely Sinic without any visible Korean admixture.

yep the horse face is also very prominent in northerners and Koreans don't have that.

The original phenotype for the Koreans are Tungid (flat pancake face).

I would rather say that the Manchus are closer in phenotype to the northerners than the Koreans. Just look at the portrait of the Qing Emperors, they mostly have the long horse face.

BTW, the actress Li Xiaoran from Beijing also has a horse face, but her horse face type is closer to those from Shanghai than to those from Northeast China. Since Beijing is much more mixed than the other parts of the North China.
