Korean Chinese has its own spoken and written language. Within Jilin province, besides Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture, they scattered in Jilin city and Changchun as well. Those who live in the scattered community are more easily influenced by the mainstream culture, because they are living in the mainstream cultural circles. The cultural integration between the Korean Chinese and the Hans blur the ethnic boundary, it leads to the reduction of ethnic identity and the decrease of ethnic knowledge among the young Korean Chinese who living in the scattered community. In addition, adolescents constitute a high proportion of stay-at-home children. Eighty percent students who study in the Jilin Korean High School are stay-at-home children. Because they are lack of family education, school education takes more responsibility in their socialization growth.From ethnological perspective, this thesis analyzes the development and current situation of the Korean school in the scattered community, and highlights the functionality of education.
