Through the special experience of the research target, change in the family value of traditional and modern Hakka male was found. From the research, it was found that family of origin and social environment were the driving force for the formation of gender role of Hakka male, meanwhile, under the stiff character of Hakka male, Hakka male’s emotion is depressed, and Hakka male’s strong responsibility was shown as an attitude of persistence and responsibility to family, therefore, Hakka male showed male chauvinism in the working style. After an in-depth interview was conducted, it was also found that Hakka male paid great attention to the family, in other words, Hakka male was thrifty and filial, and Hakka male inherited the spirit of filiality in the way of teaching-by-example, meanwhile, the father’s role of Hakka male was changed from the frame of strict father into an image of kind father. It was also found from the research that although Hakka male has the awareness of crisis of ethnicity extinction, yet Hakka male still felt strong responsibility for the cultural inheritance of Hakka ethnicity, however, rare aggressive action can be seen. The cultural inheritance of Hakka ethnicity must be built on the intentional build-up of Hakka dialect environment in the family education, and the build-up of recognition of its own ethnicity and recognition and willingness for inheritance, and all the above are key factors for the continuance of Hakka ethnicity language and culture. Key words: Hakka male, gender role, family value, ethnicity culture inheritance
