Abstract

In this paper, we put our concern on the 1954 historical event when an exodus took place almost on the large scale in each village, from the original villages in the North to settling villages in the South. We will also try to learn the insiders’ experience about this migration with its very woeful yet majestic nature. After all, this 1954 historical and social event is a turning point in history, causing nearly a million Catholics to leave their native lands to go to the South in the condition of people who had to leave their homes.
