Really like this topic! I am chinese and my husband is dutch. I first lived in mainland China, then singapore , now Netherlands. Our kids were born in singapore and now in Netherlands. Exactly because of the identity crisis you mentioned, I would like them to live in 1 country hopefully until they are 18. After that, it is up to them to decide what other culture and identity they want. And my kids Chinese level are like Timo. And I accept that.
我覺得台灣的父母都忘記原生教育,送小孩學贏英語但是忘了生教,導致英文的語言表達書寫都非常的差勁 I think most of Taiwanese folks don't know how to teach their kids and give them a good education of the whole English speech in their daily lives, as far as i can see they do nothing but only play money for their kids going to language school . Additionally, most of Asians dread speaking English when they encounter foreigners
I was in Taiwan till 18 and moved to Canada in 1995. Being able to think, speak and learn in 2 different languages does make a huge difference in quality of our life. Sometimes, I want to think and learn in Chinese but sometimes is more efficient to process everything in English. Whenever there is new thing come out, like ChatGPT, I can learn about it in both languages fore maximum results and speed. People like us get to see more perspectives and angles. That's the difference between a camera mounted on a tripod vs a camera mounted on a drone.

If you can choose, would you do the same again? I'm a Taiwanese and I think I'm going to settle down in US for life, because I moved to here when I was about 13 and I just enjoy my life here more, girls are hotter and more proactive than it is in Taiwan. I always thought about where should I settle, and if I have kids and moved back to Taiwan, would my kids hate me for bringing them back to Taiwan? I kinda don't want my kids grow up in US or western society because I have seen how my peers grow up when I was in high school, I kinda don't want that, my relatives also choose to settle in Hawaii because it's more Asian populated and they don't have to deal with racism as frequent as they might if they settle down in US mainland. If I can choose, I'd probably choose to spend my childhood in Taiwan again but move to US earlier than age 13, I don't know how would you choose?

@@yaya5tim Except for the hot and proactive girls, everything in Taiwan is much better than in the US, such as the prices of goods, public safety, medical resources and costs, etc. Not to mention the issues of racial discrimination, drug abuse, and gun violence in the US. Haven't you had many shooting incidents recently?

@@alice755145 yeah I agree, there was a shooting near where I live this year, I think 10 people died. There's both cons and pros, I feel I can managed to find a spot in US that's better than the spots I can find in Taiwan. In general, I feel stay in US helps me to see the world better, Taiwan is not bad but there are things I prioritize more and US can give me that more than Taiwan can, there's no right or wrong, I just prefer stay in US, but maybe I'll change my mind when I prioritize things differently, who knows.

@@alice755145 There are many thing I dislike about Taiwan, but Taiwanese doesn't like it, so I'm not going into the details, and nor they can do anything about it, nothing is worse than not trying to talk about the problems then try to solve it, US is not perfect but I see people and government do talk about the problems and try to fix them, I just don't see that in Taiwan.

@@yaya5tim I'm not sure whether the problems you are talking about concern the political predicament in Taiwan. If so, as you know the presidential election will be held in Jan 2024. I'm not going to vote for either DPP or KMT, but for 柯文哲. He just finished his visit to the US and I kind of agree with some of his viewpoints and the remedies toward the long-lasting issues in Taiwan. Hopefully, he will do as he said - "殺無赦," and open up a new chapter in Taiwan's political and social landscape.
def have me in tears after watching this video. Your mom is so brave and strong! I moved to Cali for 15-20 years now. Honestly, I am still figuring out my identities. Sometimes that being a cultural sandwich isn't that pleasant but at the same time im grateful that I get to have two cultural backgrounds.
I really appreciate these two episodes about 混血兒, I have two myself, it’s been a blessing for me and them, please let me know how can I be a supporter for your program?

I'm the opposite. My family moved to the US when I was 12, and I am 44 now. I feel more American than Taiwanese, even though I still have a very strong tie with Taiwan. Neither of my parents speak English, despite having lived in the states for over 30 years and all of us are now dual nationality. I think that's one of the biggest differences... in Taiwan, you are truly immersed, but in the US, it's a choice whether or not one wants to be immersed. It's so diverse here, one can always hide in their little cultural cliques without really becoming truly American.
