Sadness and Sorrow toward New Taiwan Brides(revised version)

Recently, it becomes a trend that more and more migrant brides immigrate in Taiwan. The population of them has increased rapidly and according to Ministry of the Interior, there are more than 400,000 migrant brides in Taiwan, coming from Vietnam, Indonesia, and China. The migrant brides make Taiwan a multicultural country that symbolizes vitality and vigorousness. However, there are still some controversial issues and problems toward migrant brides that some people argue migrant brides has become a burden to our society; “we need to pay more attention to them and concern not only about the migrant brides but their children,” claimed by the social workers.



On March 18, there was a press conference held by Taipei Women’s center that invited some migrant brides to share their experiences and talk about the struggle they had confronted. “Once I had the notion to kill myself…fall from the roof, but I saw my child's smile, which was so naive,simple, and innocent…so I didn’t want to die…” said by YU HUA, from Vietnam; she have stayed in Taiwan for five years. Whenever she reminded the days after her husband died, she could not help but crying. She brought up the artistic child independently and now had a stable job with the assistance of Social Affairs Bureau.
Besides YU HUA, there are still many helpless migrant brides in the difficult situation that need more people concern such as the education of their children, domestic violence, and racial discrimination…We hope our society could be more fair and exist justice to deal with the issues; the government could enact the laws to protect the migrant brides and strive for their rights. Hopefully we could try our best to let them feel Taiwan people’s warmth and friendliness. We could help comfort their minds to support the migrant brides and wish to see there smiles every day.
