In order to deal with the Western missionaries, the Chinese Republican government, and the local strong ethnic groups, the first-generation intellectuals of the Hua Miao (花苗) in Shimenkan (石门坎), successfully constructed their ethnic identity in the early twentieth century by developing education, which in turn did good to the ethnic group politically, socially and culturally. The study illustrates how difficult the ethnic elites were in choosing their ethnic identity in history, and points out that the construction of ethnic identity is a complicated process including negotiations and struggles, differentiations and integrations, and interactions and adaptations as well.
