I took a Hmong history class in Fresno and I was taught that the Great Walls of China was to push the Hmong AND the Mongols out of their nation. It so happens that I spoke with a Chinese friend who agrees that by according to history, the Mongols really liked us since we are brave fighters. However, from another story by him as well, he said that after the Chinese were defeated, racial slurs starts to go around the entire ethnic group. There are only five groups to which I don't know the rest of the entire section of the five except for the Hmong. We are counted as 3.
1. the great wall of china was not built to "push the (hmong) and the mongols out of china". the great wall of china was built to keep the altaic (mongols) and tungusic (manchus) people from entering china.
2. "It so happens that I spoke with a Chinese friend who agrees that by according to history, the Mongols really liked us since we are brave fighters. However, from another story by him as well, he said that after the Chinese were defeated, racial slurs starts to go around the entire ethnic group.

3. there's no record of hmong people in north china at the time of the mongols. what record there is, have the hmong people in south china. i've already shared those resources in the linguistic history of hmong and the written history of the Ming dynasty that records hmong in southern china.
4. if hmong people were north, hanging out with the altaics (mongols) and tungusics (manchus), it would be reflected in our language. here's another resource for you, a database of hmong words and origins:
http://wold.clld.org/vocabulary/25you will not find a single word from altaic and tungusic languages. you will find words from chinese, tibeto-burmese, austronesian, mon-khmer (austro-asiatic) and thai/lao (tai-kadai)...reflecting accurately the hmong migration/diaspora.
