waishengren
Waishengren, formerly called mainlanders, are a group of migrants who arrived in Taiwan from mainland China between the Japanese surrender at the end of World War II in 1945 and during the Kuomintang retreat at the end of the Chinese Civil War in 1949. They came from various regions of mainland China and spanned multiple social classes.
