National Immigration Agency (NIA), the Ministry of the Interior of Taiwan held a presentation on the results of “The 5th Dream Weaving Project for New Residents and Children” on May 25, 2019. New residents from Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines and other countries shared their participation in the NIA’s Dream Weaving Project and how to accomplish a dream in Taiwan. Dai Yan-yu (代延玉), Chinese new resident recorded the story of many new residents in Taiwan through this project and then completed the dream of publishing a book.
Dai Yan-yu is currently the radio host of National Education Radio. Her program has invited many new residents to share their life experiences in Taiwan. Because she find out that each person’s life story is like a book and can’t finish telling their experience in just a short interview time. So it inspires her dream of using words to record stories and publishes books.
Now she has written the book “聽說” (It is said that), this book successfully recorded the story of 25 new residents living in Taiwan. In the future, she will continue to use her own power to let more people see the new residents live and work hard for Taiwan.
On the one hand, she will also educate the public to understand the cultural differences and living habits of the new residents through positive communication and understanding, in order to discover each other's strengths and weaknesses and learn mutual respect, appreciation, listening and acceptance, and achieve true effective communication and cultural exchanges.
