The National Immigration Agency continues to promote its inter-agency mobile service initiative. On the 14th, it joined hands with the Mainland Affairs Council, the Straits Exchange Foundation, and other agencies to visit three exemplary new immigrant entrepreneurs in Yunlin: patchwork artist Wang Yan in Douliu City, Austrian dessert chef Tom Huang in Tuku Township, and promoter of Hong Kong-style beverages Chan Suk-wai in Beigang Township. Through in-person visits, the government demonstrates its recognition of the contributions made by new residents.

Wang Yan, originally from Guangxi, China, founded "Yan Xuan Sewing Studio" by integrating traditional sewing and patchwork skills, not only transforming her life but also passing on cultural heritage. She holds craft certifications from Japan and South Korea and serves as a vocational instructor under the Ministry of Labor, offering long-term community classes to support new immigrants and youth. On the day of the visit, she led the guests in making rice dumpling-shaped patchwork sachets, symbolizing peace and joy during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Next, the delegation visited "Danke Austrian Kitchen" in Tuku, jointly run by Austrian new resident Tom Huang and his wife Joanne Huang. Their signature dessert, the "Huber Roll," features a crispy outer layer paired with Italian custard, offering an authentic taste. Tom expressed gratitude for Taiwan&rsquos friendly environment for startups, explaining that the brand started online and quickly went viral. It has since expanded to Shin Kong Mitsukoshi in Taichung and Yunlin HSR Station, with the Tuku store attracting customers from both northern and southern Taiwan.Austrian new resident Tom Huang and his wife Joanne Huang jointly run &ldquoDanke Austrian Kitchen.&rdquo (Image source: National Immigration Agency)

Finally, the group visited "A Luk Ga B" in Beigang, founded by Hong Kong new resident Chan Suk-wai. She blends Hong Kong-style drinks with local Taiwanese culture to promote the 1950s &ldquoGolden Age of Hong Kong.&rdquo Her signature drinks, such as silk-stocking milk tea and yuenyeung coffee, are widely loved. She also teaches Cantonese and cultural classes at the community college, building a loyal following of Hong Kong culture lovers.Hong Kong's new resident Chan Suk-wai founded &ldquoA Luk Ga B,&rdquo blending Hong Kong-style beverages with Taiwanese local culture.

Deputy Commander of the NIA Southern District Corps, Hsiung Te-jen, noted that these new residents come from various countries but have taken root in Taiwan. Using patchwork, desserts, and beverages as cultural carriers, they help drive creativity, local economies, and multicultural integration&mdashmaking them key players in local revitalization. Through the New Immigrant Development Fund, the government continues to promote support measures such as the &ldquoMulticultural Camps for New Immigrant Children,&rdquo the &ldquoDream-Building Project,&rdquo and &ldquoScholarship Programs,&rdquo aiming to provide new immigrants with platforms to shine and to build a happy and inclusive Taiwan together.
