Honghuzi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For a 1971 film, see Hong hu zi (film)

For a Russian armored train, see Khunkhuz (train)

Honghuzi (Chinese: 红胡子, literally "Red Beards") were armed robbers, bandits in the areas of the eastern Russia-China borderland: Southeastern Siberia, Russian Far East, and Northeast China (then known as Manchuria). the word has been variously transliterated as hong huzi, hong hu zi, hunghutze, hun-hutze, etc. Also, a transliteration from Russian language, khunkhuzy (and a back-formation for singular: khunkhuz) is common.
