Chinese That Ran Away
What does it really mean to be Taiwanese? The reason I ask is because although my family is Shanghainese on both sides, I finally figured out my dad was born in Taiwan. Does that make me Taiwanese? If he can find his birth certificate, he has dual citizenship, right? Really being born there, he has as much claim to being Taiwanese as everyone else in Taiwan, other than the native people from the island. So don’t look down your noses at me, Taiwan! I’m one of you!
