my parents have gone back to taiwan to vote in the past and i’m sure they’re not against doing it again. taiwanese americans are passionate about their politics.

it was sweet that your dad wanted you safe although irritatingly adorable that he spoke with suspicion in his voice about your living in l.a. oh, uncle. we miss you.

Yog,

That’s an understandable viewpoint, however, I would argue that despite being US Citizens, many Taiwanese Americans (my parents included) are more aware of Taiwanese politics than of US politics.

I should also note that many Taiwanese Americans of that generation split time between the US and Taiwan, often still having property, business dealings, extended families there. My parents have considered both Taiwan and US home.

Interesting that your mother should still vote in Taiwanese elections. I don’t have problems with her trying to help out there or with the interest in politics, but I not comfortable with the idea of people who don’t actually live in the country that they are decided the future of. Wouldn’t it be possible to miss some little thing that would have a big impact on the people’s lives if you don’t live in the country?

Interesting. I actually started my blog after my mom passed away, but I think in a similar vein, I can see the evolution of my grieving process towards my mom in my posts, and also how I’ve related to my family since her death.
