Nice job on the redesign! Looks sharp. Granted I’m viewing it on my phone right now – where’s the mobile version? (Jk)- but the UI looks vastly improved.
Thanks Vic! I’ll leave the mobile version to the professionals… So if you’re volunteering yourself, be my guest! I am more than happy to hand it over.
This is great! I have MANY favorite foods from Taiwan that my mother used to cook all the time. I used to help her wrap zong zi as a child. This brings back so many great memories. It also gave me the idea to have such a workshop at our Chinese school! Thank you so much for posting this.
Aw, Anna haha I didn’t do anything. Awesome job on the revamp!

In addition to being from Taiwan, he’s from Pingtung, which is the southernmost county in Taiwan. Amazing.
I found your article to be very interesting. You see I have recently adopted a little girl from Taiwan, and being non Chinese myself, and raising my daughter in a non chinese home I am aware that she may have similar feelings as you described when she gets older.. I would like to read more from you on this subject and perhaps on 3rd generation children and how they are being raised culturally. I will add that we are trying to raise our daughter with as much Chinese culture as we can. Thank you
The team should be called “Chinese Pingtung”. Have some respect to the other cities other than Taipei, especially he’s the only athlete represent “Chinese” whatever, wherever.
It should be call “TAIWAN”- period!
Thanks for reading and for your interest, Lisa. I recommend the book “Growing Up Asian American” for a broad cross-section of the diversity experiences young Asian Americans face growing up. However, there are probably a number of existing resources, books, and summer programs particularly for families like your own. Congratulations on your new family member and good luck!
I’m glad I found answer to my question regarding how much was needed to complete production of a PSA video and purchase TV broadcast airtime.
To further comment on the article regarding the Census 2010. It is more than a head count. We must understand the importance of the cesus. The data collected in the census is used by local governments to determine exactly how more than $400 billion dollars of federal funds will be used. Census data are used by the private sector as well as state and local governments to determine where new jobs and job development programs are needed. Community planners and leaders use census data to decide where such essential facilities are most needed, such as hospitals, new schools, fire stations, or public library. Corporations large and small use census data for market research to determine the locations for new commercial enterprises, such as grocery stores, pharmacies and other essential services. Potential homebuyers use census data to research property values, median income and other demographic information about a particular community or neighborhood.
At least we’re lucky enough to appear in the Vancouver Winter Olympic Opening Ceremony which the WHOLE World SAW IT !! ^-^
Why is this movement for listing Taiwanese as “Other Asian” rather than “Pacific Islander”? Many movements push for Taiwan’s recognition as a modern island country (even 2008 DPP candidate Frank Hsieh), yet the movement is for “Other Asian.” Won’t this divide the Taiwanese who participate in the census into three – 1) Chinese, 2) Taiwanese-Other Asian, and 3) Taiwanese-Pacific Is.?
Janet Hsieh is fantastic! I saw one of her segments right before I moved to Taiwan (it was about LNY celebrations) and was captivated by her enthusiasm.
J.Beacon, because we are not Pacific Islanders. True Pacific Islanders are Polynesians, Micronesians, and Melanesians. If you want, you can add the Malay countries such as Filipinos, Malaysians, and Indonesians as they are genetically similar to the true Pacific Islanders. It is true that a lot of Taiwanese do have some aboriginal blood in them, but generally if it is traceable you are only looking at 1/8 if not lower. The bulk of our blood is from the Asian mainland, and our culture is overwhelmingly Holko/Hakka which are from the Asian mainland. That is why we would be “other Asians” and not “other Pacific Islanders.”
Janet is simply awesome… she juz has that cheeriness about her, that happiness… that bright smile and sparkle from her eyes, simply captivating… she seems to be enjoying herself so much everytime and that is so so contagious… it makes you want to go wherever she goes…
Shé’s the Asian equiv of Samantha Brown.
Go Crystal!! Loved you in the film!!
I want to see this so badly! I keep missing the showings in Boston, maybe I can catch it in LA next week!
Hi – thanks for the post. I never know what I will come across when I scroll these blogs. But just wanted to let you know I really liked yours. Keep it up.

Many many many “Ethnic Chinese” (華裔美人) who were born in any continent in the world, including Taiwan and that’s what we are. According to U.S. Census bureau the term “Chinese” is not 中國人, rather it’s like “漢人”. Is most Taiwanese 漢人?, I suppose so.
Great article, Ho Chie. I’m definitely looking forward to this file, if I can get a hold of it at a screening. I love the title of the film!
I love doing stand up. Stand up is nerveracking, but interesting!
inspiring! I share the same sentiments and intend to start my own restaurant over the next few years with the same goal of educating our society re: asian american culture. I’m sick of all of the stereotypes and it’s about time we have more representation!
