00:00:02Can you recognize me?

00:00:05Do I look familiar?

00:00:07Ni hao!

00:00:09What's your name?

00:00:11My name is Lan.

00:00:13And you?

00:00:13My name is Ly.

00:00:15How long have you been here?

00:00:16I've been here for 4 years.

00:00:174 years?

00:00:18So you're here to help me?

00:00:21Yes.

00:00:23How do you know I'm here to help you?

00:00:25I'm here to help you.

00:00:31I've been here for 4 years.

00:00:32I've been here for 4 years.

00:00:35I've been here for 4 years.

00:00:38Is your family nice to you?

00:00:40Yes, they are.

00:00:41My nieces and nieces can cook whatever they want.

00:00:45When will you come back?

00:00:46I don't know.

00:00:47I don't know when I'll come back.

00:00:49When will you come back?

00:00:50I'll be back in 6 years.

00:00:52But I'll miss home when I come back.

00:00:55You'll miss home when you come back, right?

00:00:56I'll miss home when I come back, but it's expensive.

00:00:59Where do you live in Vietnam?

00:01:01I live in Thai Binh.

00:01:02In Thai Binh?

00:01:03Can you help your family a lot?

00:01:05Yes.

00:01:08If my husband doesn't allow me to, I can help my family.

00:01:11Do you tell your husband?

00:01:13Yes.

00:01:13Do you tell your husband?

00:01:14No.

00:01:14Don't tell your husband.

00:01:15No.

00:01:16I just tell him.

00:01:17If he doesn't allow me, I won't tell him.

00:01:18Thank you.

00:01:20Take her out.

00:01:21Thank you.

00:01:23I'm surprised that I have the chance to work in Oisin in Taiwan.

00:01:27I'm in charge of taking care of the old lady.

00:01:29I'm in charge of taking care of the old lady.

00:01:33On the other side of the monument, there are 2 national musical instruments.

00:01:39On this side, there are musical instruments for the big concert.

00:01:42On the other side, there are musical instruments for the opera and symphony.

00:01:48This year is 2007.

00:01:51But Taiwanese don't use the year in the West or China.

00:01:55They use their own calendar.

00:01:57This year is the 96th National Day.

00:01:59Why?

00:02:00Because in 1911, the government was in a bad situation.

00:02:05They wanted to revive the government.

00:02:07So, Mr. Tung Chung Son chose the year 1911 as the first National Day.

00:02:12He wrote the book Tam Zan to change the whole Chinese society.

00:02:19Tam Zan includes ethnic, human rights, and life.

00:02:22The 2 students of Mr. Tung Chung Son are Mao Zedong and Tung Zethich.

00:02:28Because they didn't have the same goal, there was a civil war in China.

00:02:35After the war, Mao Zedong won the war.

00:02:39In October 1949, Tung Zethich led 1,500,000 Chinese soldiers to Taiwan

00:02:47to create a republic around China.

00:02:49He chose Taipei as the temporary capital.

00:02:51He chose Taiwan as the base to wait for the liberation of China.

00:02:56To this day, China still considers Taiwan as a separate province of China.

00:03:01People call it Kim, Ma, Ban, Tai, not Taiwan.

00:03:05Because this province includes 4 islands, Kimon, Ma To, Ban Ho, and Taiwan.

00:03:11Until now, Taiwan still wants independence.

00:03:14China still can't reunite with China.

00:03:17Because Mao Zedong gave Taiwan to Japan.

00:03:22When the war happened, Japan withdrew from Taiwan and returned it.

00:03:26But there was no document to return it to anyone.

00:03:29That's why Tung Zethich still regards Taiwan as his own country.

00:03:36Taiwan is the largest island of the 4 islands.

00:03:38It's only 1 in 13 of Vietnam.

00:03:42But it has a large population of more than 23 million people.

00:03:46China has developed agriculture.

00:03:50But in the 1980s, it developed electronics.

00:03:53That's why it became one of the dragons of Asia.

00:04:09Taiwan is the largest island of the 4 islands.

00:04:12It's only 1 in 13 of Vietnam.

00:04:15But it has a large population of more than 23 million people.

00:04:18That's why it became one of the dragons of Asia.

00:04:21China has developed electronics.

00:04:24But in the 1980s, it developed electronics.

00:04:27That's why it became one of the dragons of Asia.

00:04:30China has developed electronics.

00:04:33That's why it became one of the dragons of Asia.

00:04:36China has developed electronics.

00:04:39That's why it became one of the dragons of Asia.

00:04:42China has developed electronics.

00:04:45That's why it became one of the dragons of Asia.

00:04:48China has developed electronics.

00:04:56This is the entrance to the dormitory of the workers.

00:04:59They work in a room of about 300 square meters.

00:05:02This dormitory has 2 floors.

00:05:05The upper floor is for women and the lower floor is for men.

00:05:08There are more than 100 workers in this dormitory.

00:05:11There are more than 100 workers in this dormitory.

00:05:14When they work in this dormitory, they get paid by the company.

00:05:17It's like renting a house.

00:05:20If they don't like the crowd, they can rent a house.

00:05:23If they don't like the crowd, they can rent a house.

00:05:26But it's more comfortable.

00:05:29I sleep in the room.

00:05:34I wake up at 7.30 a.m.

00:05:37I wake up at 7.30 a.m.

00:05:40I sleep in the room.

00:05:52Women are always better than men.

00:05:55Women are always better than men.

00:05:58Women are always better than men.

00:06:01But they are still wet.

00:06:28I'm one of the early risers.

00:06:31How long have you been here?

00:06:34I've been here for 5 months.

00:06:37Do they rent houses for you to live in?

00:06:40Do they rent houses for you to live in?

00:06:43Yes.

00:07:04This is Thuy's room.

00:07:07This is Thuy's room.

00:07:10There are 4 beds here.

00:07:135, 4, 5, 6, 7.

00:07:16There are 7 people in one room.

00:07:19Double bed.

00:07:20We've just moved here, it's in the middle of nowhere.

00:07:23Ah.

00:07:24It's going to rain in the next month.

00:07:27How about the bed?

00:07:28It's going to rain every month.

00:07:30This is the most convenient room in this area.

00:07:33It has a view of the city.

00:07:37You can hear the traffic and the wind blowing.

00:07:40And inside, there are small rooms.

00:07:43Do you cook here?

00:07:44Yes, I do.

00:07:45When I come back, I have to cook more.

00:07:48I don't have enough to eat at the company.

00:07:50I can't afford to eat at the company.

00:07:52You can't afford to eat at the company?

00:07:542,500 VND.

00:07:54Do you have a family in Vietnam?

00:07:56Only 40 people.

00:07:56I have 3 grandchildren.

00:07:58Ah.

00:07:59My name is Lang Van Dung.

00:08:00I was born in Son Huyen, Phuong Nam.

00:08:02I'm from Nhat Giang.

00:08:04Before you left, what did you do in Vietnam?

00:08:07I didn't go back to work.

00:08:10I tried to complete my family's needs.

00:08:12I tried to find a job to make a living.

00:08:14I tried to help my family.

00:08:17The owner of a restaurant in Taiwan came to Tuyen.

00:08:21We went to Tuyen.

00:08:23The company said they would close the restaurant.

00:08:25We didn't go to Tuyen, so we didn't know.

00:08:28They said they would close the restaurant.

00:08:30When we got home,

00:08:32they told us to prepare the money for the flight.

00:08:36We didn't have money at home.

00:08:39We usually went to the bank.

00:08:41We only had red envelopes.

00:08:43We didn't have money at home, so we went to the bank.

00:08:47No one forced us to go.

00:08:53We were poor.

00:08:55We couldn't make a living.

00:08:57We worked hard for a few years to help our family.

00:09:03In Vietnam, red envelopes are the most common.

00:09:05Red envelopes have been around for 3 years.

00:09:07The land we live in has red envelopes.

00:09:09The forest has green envelopes.

00:09:12The land has red envelopes.

00:09:14How much did it cost to go there?

00:09:16It cost us 120 million VND.

00:09:21120 million VND.

00:09:23It's about 7,000 to 8,000 USD.

00:09:27How long did it take?

00:09:292 years.

00:09:31Can you stay there for 2 years?

00:09:33It depends on the company.

00:09:35It's not certain.

00:09:38How could you pay 7,000 to 8,000 for 2 years?

00:09:41It's expensive in Quang Nam.

00:09:46Thai people also work for this company.

00:09:50But it's cheap.

00:09:52Red envelopes cost more than 1,000 VND.

00:09:54Thai people don't want to pay more.

00:09:56Why do Vietnamese people want to pay more?

00:09:58Because it's too expensive.

00:10:01How could you send money to your family to pay off your debt?

00:10:08It's stressful.

00:10:10It's stressful.

00:10:12It's a different company.

00:10:14I went to sign a contract.

00:10:16But it wasn't as good as the contract.

00:10:18The company told me that Vietnamese people are equal to Taiwanese people.

00:10:27We have lived here for a few months, but it's not like that.

00:10:31Because of the salary.

00:10:33Taiwanese people work for 1 hour and earn 200,000 VND.

00:10:35But we earn 6,600,000 VND.

00:10:37It's the same as Vietnamese people in the South.

00:10:39It's the same as Vietnamese people in the South.

00:10:41So it's not as good as the contract.

00:10:43We have a lot of questions about it.

00:10:45We suggested it to the company.

00:10:47I don't know how the company will handle it.

00:10:49I don't know how the company will handle it.

00:10:51But I heard that it's not as good as the contract.

00:10:53But I heard that it's not as good as the contract.

00:10:56Currently, there are 6 companies in my company.

00:10:58They provide labor for the company.

00:11:00Currently, there are 6 companies in my company.

00:11:02According to the law,

00:11:04from 50 workers,

00:11:06there will be 1 labor manager.

00:11:08from 50 workers, there will be 1 labor manager.

00:11:10My salary is equal to the salary of 6 companies.

00:11:12My salary is equal to the salary of 6 companies.

00:11:14It's not equal to the salary of my company.

00:11:16According to the contract,

00:11:18if it's 8 hours,

00:11:20the basic salary is 1,840,000 VND.

00:11:22But because of Vietnamese people,

00:11:25I have to pay 6000,700 USD every time.

00:11:27I have to pay 6000,700 USD every time.

00:11:29It's a lot of money when you paid it by Vietnamese companies.

00:11:31It's a lot of money when you paid it by Vietnamese companies.

00:11:33If I did the job like that,

00:11:35I have to pay them VND2,000,000.

00:11:37If I paid them VND2,000,000.

00:11:39If I paid them VND2,000,000.

00:11:41I have to pay them VND2,000,000.

00:11:43So, it was not practical.

00:11:45So, it was not practical.

00:11:47So, there is a requirement

00:11:49of 12 hours per day.

00:11:51If it's 8 hours,

00:11:53A lot of workers have to leave their jobs.

00:11:55It's really hard.

00:11:57I know a lot of people who have to leave their jobs.

00:12:01They can work 1,000 a day.

00:12:04They can work more than 30,000 a month.

00:12:07But they can't work for 2-3 months.

00:12:11A lot of people have to call their workers

00:12:16to pay for their meals.

00:12:19It's really hard.

00:12:21I was afraid that the police would arrest me.

00:12:24But they didn't.

00:12:27I told them that I had to pay a lot of money.

00:12:30Do you think you can go back to work?

00:12:35I don't think so.

00:12:38What if you don't have enough money to pay for your meals?

00:12:45I'm really worried.

00:12:48I'm worried about my family.

00:12:51I'm worried about my family.

00:12:53My family has been here for a long time.

00:12:56The price of living here is much lower than my family.

00:12:59Why did the price of living here go up?

00:13:02The price of living here went up.

00:13:04Who did it?

00:13:05The company.

00:13:06Why did it go up?

00:13:08Because a lot of Vietnamese people

00:13:11want to export their products.

00:13:14In the past, the price of goods was 6,000 a month.

00:13:17But now, the price of goods has gone up.

00:13:20The price of goods has gone up.

00:13:23The price of goods has gone up.

00:13:26The reason why the price of goods has gone up

00:13:29is not because of the Vietnamese.

00:13:31Why did the price of goods go up?

00:13:35It's because the workers are from the countryside.

00:13:40They don't have much information.

00:13:44The workers are from the countryside.

00:13:48The workers are from the countryside.

00:13:52The price of goods has gone up.

00:13:56Do your parents know that you don't have much money?

00:14:01No, they don't know.

00:14:03Why?

00:14:04They don't know about my family.

00:14:05They don't know about my family.

00:14:09I called my wife.

00:14:11I told her that I was not good at this.

00:14:13But in fact, I'm not good at this.

00:14:15My family and I think that life is different.

00:14:18When we first came here,

00:14:20we couldn't imagine

00:14:22the technology of a foreign company like this.

00:14:25When we first came here,

00:14:28we thought we were fooled.

00:14:30It was so messy.

00:14:31We couldn't imagine it.

00:14:33There was no place to sit.

00:14:35It was so messy.

00:14:36Now that we're here,

00:14:38it's much cleaner.

00:14:40There are many things I can't tell you.

00:15:07Can I eat with you?

00:15:09Yes, please.

00:15:10Can I eat with you?

00:15:14I'll eat first.

00:15:16Just a little is not enough.

00:15:17You eat first.

00:15:18I'll eat first.

00:15:19Who else?

00:15:20How many people?

00:15:21Just two of us.

00:15:22Just two of us.

00:15:23Did you cook this rice yesterday?

00:15:25Yes, I did.

00:15:26We'll reheat it today.

00:15:29Eat naturally.

00:15:31You need to eat enough, not me.

00:15:35There are no more guests.

00:15:36Just a little rice is enough.

00:15:38See?

00:15:39We don't have many guests.

00:15:40People say

00:15:42rich people are stingy,

00:15:43poor people are generous.

00:15:45Poor people are so stingy

00:15:46that they don't have enough to eat.

00:15:47They just force people to eat.

00:15:50The soup is not spicy.

00:15:54There are no scallions,

00:15:55no pepper,

00:15:57no coriander,

00:15:59no spices.

00:16:00It's not a soup.

00:16:02It's like boiled pork

00:16:05with salt and pepper.

00:16:08It's not enough for me.

00:16:12Young people like me

00:16:13can eat 4-5 bowls of rice.

00:16:15But we force people to eat

00:16:17so they don't have to go to work.

00:16:20Why are we so poor?

00:16:22Does your wife know?

00:16:24She knows.

00:16:25Why is she so poor?

00:16:27I don't know.

00:16:29What's your wife's name?

00:16:30Huyen.

00:16:31Huyen, right?

00:16:32Huyen,

00:16:35I hope you can see this.

00:16:37My wife used to deceive me

00:16:40and hide things from me.

00:16:41She didn't dare to tell the truth.

00:16:43She always told me

00:16:44to eat well,

00:16:45live in a nice place,

00:16:48work comfortably,

00:16:50have enough money.

00:16:52It's all the opposite.

00:16:54Stay at home and eat less.

00:16:56It's convenient for my husband.

00:16:58Why did you eat it all?

00:17:01I'm full.

00:17:02Why?

00:17:03Why did you leave this?

00:17:04Eat it all.

00:17:06It's a waste.

00:17:11You really left it?

00:17:12Or did you eat it in the afternoon?

00:17:14I ate it all.

00:17:17That's how I discovered one more thing.

00:17:19I thought he was hospitable

00:17:22and let me eat.

00:17:24Or he just ate a little

00:17:26and left the rest.

00:17:27It's not like that.

00:17:28It's to save money

00:17:30to eat in the afternoon.

00:17:58This is Thao Vinh.

00:17:59Vietnamese call it Dao Vien.

00:18:01It's a place for Vietnamese

00:18:03as well as restaurants and shopping malls.

00:18:05We can compare it to

00:18:07Little Saigon in California.

00:18:11Vietnamese are not the first

00:18:13to work here in Dai Xu Dai.

00:18:14There were many other people

00:18:17such as Sri Lankans,

00:18:18Thais, Filipinos,

00:18:20and Indonesians

00:18:22who came here to work.

00:18:23Finding a job

00:18:25is not just a new thing here.

00:18:27In the past,

00:18:28if you wanted to find a job

00:18:30in the countryside,

00:18:31you had to go to the city.

00:18:32Even further, you had to go to the city.

00:18:34Even during the French colonial era,

00:18:35French people received

00:18:37Vietnamese labor

00:18:39to work in the mines

00:18:41in Noumea.

00:18:42Today, due to the development

00:18:43of the global economy,

00:18:45countries around the world

00:18:46are getting closer to each other.

00:18:47While Taiwan is one of the countries

00:18:49that has strong development

00:18:50in technology and electronics,

00:18:51it lacks human resources

00:18:53while Vietnam does.

00:18:55This is one of the reasons

00:18:57why Taiwan is one of the countries

00:19:00that receives a lot of Vietnamese labor

00:19:02to work.

00:19:05This is the poem

00:19:06that Nguyen Thi Bich Tien

00:19:08read in the show.

00:19:10Right?

00:19:11Where are you from?

00:19:12I'm from Dong Thap.

00:19:13Dong Thap.

00:19:14Hello, Mr. Ninh.

00:19:15Hello.

00:19:18This is Mr. Ninh,

00:19:20the owner of Saigon Quang

00:19:22as well as Ngoc Ha,

00:19:23who specializes in Vietnamese food.

00:19:25In addition to selling food

00:19:27for workers,

00:19:29he also provides food

00:19:31that people can bring home

00:19:33to cook at the dormitories.

00:19:34Where are these goods from, Mr. Ninh?

00:19:36These are from Vietnam.

00:19:37From Vietnam,

00:19:38which means you import them

00:19:39directly from Vietnam to sell.

00:19:40Yes.

00:19:41Are these used to cook in restaurants?

00:19:43Yes, these are instant noodles.

00:19:47We sell instant noodles

00:19:49for the workers

00:19:51who work at night.

00:19:55Why don't you sell

00:19:56Taiwanese instant noodles here?

00:19:57Taiwanese people don't like it.

00:19:58These are Vietnamese goods.

00:20:00Are they from your hometown?

00:20:01Yes.

00:20:02Taiwanese instant noodles are delicious.

00:20:03The big bowl is filled with meat.

00:20:05This is cheaper.

00:20:06This is 7 dollars.

00:20:07What about Taiwanese instant noodles?

00:20:08Taiwanese instant noodles are

00:20:10about 30 to 40 dollars.

00:20:16How long have you been here?

00:20:17More than 20 years.

00:20:18More than 20 years.

00:20:19Did you open the restaurant right away?

00:20:20No, I just opened it 3 years ago.

00:20:22Okay.

00:20:23What did you do for a living?

00:20:24I was a transporter.

00:20:25A transporter.

00:20:26He was a transporter.

00:20:29Especially in your restaurant,

00:20:31Vietnamese people like to eat

00:20:32and sing karaoke.

00:20:33You are also one of the very successful people

00:20:35in Tài Đào Viên.

00:20:36You just opened the restaurant 3 years ago,

00:20:39but you are a billionaire.

00:20:49Viet Thao is going to a very special temple in Taipei.

00:20:54This temple is not like other temples.

00:20:56The temple was built by the wind of a buffalo.

00:20:58In Taipei, people worship Taoism,

00:21:02especially Taoism, Lao Taoism and Buddhism.

00:21:06Those are the main three religions.

00:21:08The number of temples in Taipei

00:21:10is more than 11,400.

00:21:13The number of Buddhist temples is very large.

00:21:17Although Taipei is a small island,

00:21:20the number of temples is much larger than that of mainland China.

00:21:22Perhaps during the communist period in China,

00:21:25the development of Chinese temples was not much,

00:21:27while in Taiwan, although it is smaller,

00:21:29but according to the needs of religion, it has developed very quickly.

00:21:31That's why there are so many temples in Taiwan.

00:22:17This is the Temple of the Ox.

00:22:20That's the name of this temple.

00:22:21Because on the wall, it is covered or attached

00:22:24with the skin of the ox,

00:22:26the skin of the snail or coral,

00:22:29that is, the creatures living under the sea.

00:22:32This temple is called the Temple of the Sun Temple,

00:22:36which is a temple on the top of the mountain.

00:22:39People say that when you come to this temple,

00:22:41you can pray for anything,

00:22:42you can pray for happiness,

00:22:43you can pray for wealth,

00:22:44you can pray for wealth,

00:22:45even President Tran Thuy Mien came here,

00:22:47and before entering the temple,

00:22:48you must incinerate incense to make the first offering.

00:22:52Because inside the temple,

00:22:54under the cave, there are 18 incense sticks,

00:22:58so the first incineration before entering the temple

00:23:00is a must-do.

00:23:15300 kg

00:23:18This is the first statue

00:23:21made of gold,

00:23:24weighing 300 kg,

00:23:26and inside there are shells,

00:23:29shells of snails, abalones,

00:23:31ducks, oysters,

00:23:32all kinds of seafood in here,

00:23:34weighing 300 kg.

00:23:36This gold-colored statue is green,

00:23:39but it's really not green on the outside.

00:23:41On the outside, it's just a shell,

00:23:43made of gold to protect the inside.

00:23:48The inside of this green color

00:23:49is taken from a salt pit at the bottom of the sea.

00:23:52It has a green color in here,

00:23:53it has seafood in the bottom of the sea,

00:23:56it is available like this.

00:23:57And these two gold-colored ones inside,

00:24:00it has a yellow color,

00:24:02this is also taken from the bottom of the sea,

00:24:04and it is available like this,

00:24:05there are animals in it,

00:24:07animals from the bottom of the sea.

00:24:08According to legend,

00:24:10this gold-colored statue,

00:24:12when people come and touch it,

00:24:15they will be blessed,

00:24:17as well as happy.

00:24:19These are the first three gold-colored statues

00:24:21when I entered this temple,

00:24:23I met them first.

00:24:28After the incense is lit,

00:24:31I can come in here first,

00:24:34to smell the wine in the bottle.

00:24:37This bottle contains sticky wine,

00:24:39when you smell it,

00:24:40you will have a happy mind,

00:24:42forget the negative thoughts in your mind,

00:24:45to have a very peaceful spirit.

00:24:48This wine, when you smell it,

00:24:50it depends on the person,

00:24:52but the taste of the wine is different.

00:25:01After smelling the wine,

00:25:02a happy mind,

00:25:03a peaceful spirit,

00:25:04no negative thoughts in the head,

00:25:05we go to the cave.

00:25:07In front of the cave,

00:25:08there is an earthen pot,

00:25:09to watch the cave.

00:25:10Then we go in.

00:25:15We see the two sides of the cave,

00:25:16full of coral,

00:25:18here is coral,

00:25:20here is shellfish,

00:25:21shellfish,

00:25:22all are under the sea.

00:25:24As soon as you enter the cave,

00:25:26on the left,

00:25:27here is the celestial temple.

00:25:30The celestial temple is the person who watches the devil,

00:25:33do not let the devil enter the cave.

00:25:35After leaving the celestial temple,

00:25:36we see above,

00:25:38on the edge,

00:25:40there are 18 statues

00:25:42of the Northern La Han.

00:25:46This place

00:25:48is used for meditation.

00:25:50When you feel that your spirit

00:25:52is not very peaceful,

00:25:54you meditate

00:25:55to keep your spirit healthy

00:25:56to continue to enter the cave.

00:25:59As we can see,

00:26:00there is water in here,

00:26:02this is Feng Shui.

00:26:05This is where the water flows.

00:26:07According to the custom here,

00:26:09when we use this water,

00:26:12we will be blessed,

00:26:14purified, and talented.

00:26:20And this is the water,

00:26:22if we use money,

00:26:23put it in, pray,

00:26:24everything will be fine.

00:26:34This is a statue of the Venerable.

00:26:38The person who lives in this temple

00:26:40is the Venerable.

00:26:42According to the legend,

00:26:44the Venerable was in heaven

00:26:46because he broke the heaven's law,

00:26:49so he was sent to the hell

00:26:51and was locked in the bottom of the sea for 270 years.

00:26:54After he returned to the world,

00:26:57he brought all the creatures

00:27:00in the bottom of the sea

00:27:01to one place

00:27:02to let people know

00:27:03what is under the sea

00:27:04and how beautiful it is.

00:27:05Therefore, the architecture of this temple

00:27:07is based on all the creatures living in the bottom of the sea.

00:27:13This is the Buddha's bowl,

00:27:14the Mai's bowl, and the Tai's bowl.

00:27:15When we put our hands on this bowl,

00:27:18we will receive our wishes as we wish.

00:27:22And this is Mrs. Ma Chau.

00:27:23Mrs. Ma Chau is very respected by foreigners.

00:27:30Ok

00:27:32Now, let's go outside.

00:27:33There is a temple here,

00:27:37which is the mountain god.

00:27:38Outside is a bottle of wine.

00:27:40People smell it

00:27:41so that they will not only have a good mood,

00:27:43but also enjoy all the blessings.

00:27:50At exactly 8 p.m.,

00:27:51108 bells ring with 36 bells

00:27:56to let the tourists know that the temple will close.

00:27:59I think that when you come to Taipei,

00:28:01you should also visit the Temple Mountain.

00:28:04Because it is unique

00:28:06that you have to climb up the mountain

00:28:08to see the scenery of Taipei.

00:28:15The power of Vietnamese industry in the ocean

00:28:17is not only supported by the government of Taiwan,

00:28:20but also supported by the Office of Legal Assistance

00:28:23for Vietnamese Workers and Residents,

00:28:25which Mr. Hung is the founder of.

00:28:27This office has been established for almost 3 years.

00:28:30It was established in early 2004.

00:28:36When I saw Vietnamese workers coming here,

00:28:43they were the most exposed people.

00:28:47Seeing such problems,

00:28:51I asked for permission

00:28:54to establish an office for Vietnamese workers and residents in Taiwan.

00:28:59After the establishment,

00:29:01we have helped more than 3,000 people,

00:29:06more than 3,000 cases.

00:29:08At this moment,

00:29:09there are still more than 1,000 cases

00:29:12that are still being helped.

00:29:16There are many types of harm.

00:29:20For example,

00:29:21women are raped.

00:29:24There is a very big case

00:29:26that more than 100 Vietnamese women

00:29:29were raped by 2 fathers and 2 daughters

00:29:32in a prostitution company for almost 3 years.

00:29:35Then they were sold to other prostitutes.

00:29:39The cooperation of the Vietnamese prostitution companies

00:29:43was blocked.

00:29:44Some of them were returned.

00:29:47The office was able to contact 2 people.

00:29:50They returned to Taiwan to testify.

00:29:53There were about 31 people in the office.

00:29:58Some of them returned to Vietnam.

00:30:02Some of them were replaced

00:30:04by working in a company.

00:30:07They are still working here.

00:30:08The case is still going on in Taiwan.

00:30:12I work, I have to spend money.

00:30:14I work, I have to spend money.

00:30:16The amount of money

00:30:18to pay for the prostitution services here

00:30:23comes from 2 sources.

00:30:25The first source is

00:30:27when a person is harmed,

00:30:29a worker is harmed,

00:30:31they come to the office

00:30:33and they are allowed by the local government

00:30:36and reported to the central government.

00:30:38The central government

00:30:40has to contribute some money

00:30:43to the workers in the center.

00:30:46The office uses that money

00:30:48to help the workers

00:30:50to eat, to live, to pay for the hospital.

00:30:52That's all.

00:30:54But the amount of money is not enough.

00:30:56The second source

00:30:58comes from the Vietnamese community abroad.

00:31:00Every year,

00:31:02there are communities

00:31:04that organize tours to talk

00:31:07about the situation

00:31:09of workers and prostitutes here.

00:31:12They organize

00:31:14the tour

00:31:16of the community.

00:31:19The Vietnamese community abroad

00:31:21has helped the office a lot.

00:31:25That's why the office

00:31:27has the ability to help you.

00:31:30Viet Thao is located

00:31:32on the main highway

00:31:34of Hoa Lien city.

00:31:36Hoa Lien is a city

00:31:38located in the south of Taipei

00:31:40about 200 km away.

00:31:42It takes about 4 hours

00:31:44to drive along the road

00:31:46between the mountains.

00:31:48Hoa Lien is a city

00:31:50famous for its stone,

00:31:52stone, stone,

00:31:54stone, stone,

00:31:56stone.

00:31:58The stone is taken

00:32:00from the mountains

00:32:02or from the ground.

00:32:04The stone is carved

00:32:06into statues

00:32:08or decorations.

00:32:10The workshop

00:32:12is about 30 minutes away.

00:32:14Let's go there

00:32:16and see

00:32:18how the stone is made.

00:32:28Viet Thao is now

00:32:30at the workshop

00:32:32that makes

00:32:34Taiwanese stone.

00:32:36Its name is Nhu Phong.

00:32:38This is the oldest workshop

00:32:40in Hoa Lien.

00:32:42Many tourists

00:32:44come here

00:32:46to buy

00:32:48their favorite stone.

00:32:50First,

00:32:52the stone is cut

00:32:54into small pieces.

00:32:56Then,

00:32:58it is shaped

00:33:00into a cake.

00:33:02When it is shaped,

00:33:04tourists

00:33:06buy it

00:33:08for 400 yen

00:33:10or about 12 USD.

00:33:12Then,

00:33:14they use a chisel

00:33:16to cut it

00:33:18into the shape

00:33:20they want.

00:33:22Then,

00:33:24they make it

00:33:26more shiny.

00:33:28Finally,

00:33:30they use a rope

00:33:32to tie it

00:33:34around the neck or arm.

00:33:40This stone is very hard.

00:33:42This is Taiwanese stone.

00:33:44Its hardness

00:33:46is 6 out of 10.

00:33:48It costs

00:33:50about 3,000 USD.

00:33:52The color of

00:33:54Taiwanese stone

00:33:56is different from

00:33:58other stones.

00:34:00In the past,

00:34:02the Taiwanese stone

00:34:04was buried

00:34:06under the ocean.

00:34:14Now,

00:34:16I am in Nhu Phong,

00:34:18the oldest workshop

00:34:20This is Khuong Cam Nguyen,

00:34:22the owner of Nhu Phong.

00:34:24He has more than 30 years of experience

00:34:26in this field.

00:34:28Since he came back from the army,

00:34:30he knows that

00:34:32Taiwanese stone is one of the

00:34:34famous craft in Hualien.

00:34:36So, he decided to

00:34:38start his business.

00:34:40Hello.

00:34:42I have a question.

00:34:44If a woman

00:34:46walks into a shop

00:34:48and asks for a piece of

00:34:50Taiwanese stone,

00:34:52how does she know

00:34:54which one is good?

00:34:56The color of the stone

00:34:58is beautiful.

00:35:00If it's all like this,

00:35:02it's expensive.

00:35:04If it's like this,

00:35:06the sound is good.

00:35:08How to distinguish

00:35:10the value of Taiwanese stone?

00:35:12The clearer the sound,

00:35:14the higher the hardness.

00:35:16The color, the clarity

00:35:18is the same as this stone.

00:35:20So,

00:35:22this stone is more valuable.

00:35:24However,

00:35:26it depends on your preference.

00:35:28If you like a piece of

00:35:30Taiwanese stone,

00:35:32you can choose this one.

00:35:34Which one is more expensive?

00:35:36This one,

00:35:38the green one,

00:35:40is $300.

00:35:42This one, the color is lighter,

00:35:44is $500.

00:35:46Some people think that

00:35:48this stone is less expensive,

00:35:50so it's more rare.

00:35:52Let's listen to the sound.

00:36:00The sound is more crisp.

00:36:02The hardness is higher than

00:36:04this one.

00:36:06According to Viet Thao,

00:36:08the dark green stone

00:36:10is younger than

00:36:12the light green stone.

00:36:14So, the harder it is,

00:36:16the crispier it is.

00:36:28Currently,

00:36:30the Taiwanese stone has

00:36:32a green color,

00:36:34but it has three different

00:36:36colors.

00:36:38The darkest color is

00:36:40more expensive than

00:36:42the light green stone.

00:36:44This is because

00:36:46this stone is less expensive.

00:36:48The less expensive,

00:36:50the more expensive it is.

00:36:52Thank you,

00:36:54Mr. Khuong Cam Nguyen,

00:36:56the owner of Nhu Phong,

00:36:58for giving us

00:37:00an interesting

00:37:02knowledge about

00:37:04Taiwanese stone.

00:37:06I hope that one day

00:37:08we can make

00:37:10our own Ngoc Thach stone,

00:37:12to commemorate

00:37:14our time in Hoa Lien.

00:37:20Currently,

00:37:22on Hoa Lien street,

00:37:24Viet Thao has met

00:37:26Vietnamese people

00:37:28who work for

00:37:30families in Taiwan.

00:37:32Where are you from?

00:37:34I'm from Quang Ninh.

00:37:36I have a family.

00:37:38What does your husband do in Vietnam?

00:37:40He's a businessman.

00:37:42Do you have any children?

00:37:44I have three children.

00:37:46Two of them are Vietnamese police officers,

00:37:48and one is a teacher.

00:37:50How long will you stay in Vietnam?

00:37:52From November to May.

00:37:54I will stay here for 3-6 years.

00:37:56Will you come back later?

00:37:58No.

00:38:00Does your family

00:38:02want you to come back?

00:38:04They really want me to come back,

00:38:06but because of Taiwan's law,

00:38:08I can't.

00:38:10Do you go to the border or directly to the Ministry of Labor?

00:38:12I go to the border.

00:38:14I go to the border twice.

00:38:16When you come back to Vietnam,

00:38:18what do your neighbors think about you?

00:38:20Who do they think you are?

00:38:24They all think I'm a

00:38:26housekeeper.

00:38:28You don't think anything bad, do you?

00:38:30Because I'm a housekeeper,

00:38:32they don't think anything bad about me.

00:38:34Many people think that

00:38:36you sell labor

00:38:38to the Vietnamese.

00:38:40What do you think?

00:38:42No.

00:38:46I'm very happy

00:38:48to earn money

00:38:50because of my labor.

00:38:52Do you like me?

00:38:54Do you like me?

00:38:56Do you like me?

00:38:58Do you love me?

00:39:00Do you love me?

00:39:02Do you love me?

00:39:04Do you love me?

00:39:06To me, you're my son.

00:39:08Do you miss your hometown?

00:39:10At first,

00:39:12I really miss my hometown.

00:39:14Now I'm used to it.

00:39:16I'm used to Da Nang,

00:39:18but I don't miss my hometown.

00:39:20Do you miss your family?

00:39:22Do you miss your family?

00:42:14I'm a housekeeper.

00:42:16This is the 9th country that I'm going to.

00:42:36If I continue to go south, I will discover all the scenic spots in the southern part of Taiwan.

00:42:43But I'm not going there.

00:42:45The reason is that I'm going to the west.

00:42:47This is the direction of the 1st country.

00:42:50After that, I will go to the 88th country.

00:42:54Then I will go to the north, to Da Nang.

00:43:11How are you?

00:43:12I'm good.

00:43:17Thank you.

00:43:18Thank you.

00:43:19Goodbye.

00:43:20Goodbye.

00:43:21On the way from the east to the south, there are about 150 km left.

00:43:26This is the parking lot to stop for a while.

00:43:29There are shops or places where people sell corn or sugarcane, or food for tourists.

00:43:37I don't want to say that I like to eat sugarcane or corn,

00:43:41but I want to talk about the consciousness of the Taiwanese people.

00:43:44For the food sold to tourists, this is also the culture of the time.

00:43:49A piece of sugarcane from the beginning to the hand of the tourist,

00:43:53without touching the hand, foot, or washing the water.

00:44:07Da Nang, Taipei

00:44:15Now, this is Kaohsiung city,

00:44:18the most prosperous city in Da Nang province,

00:44:23and the second largest city in Taiwan.

00:44:26From Kaohsiung to the north, 43 km more, I will go to Da Nang.

00:44:31There, I can go to the rest of Mr. Tran Thanh's area.

00:44:36Da Nang, Taipei

00:44:47Now, I am standing in front of Shikan Pagoda,

00:44:51which is one of the historical sites of Da Nang city.

00:44:54Da Nang is the first city to be established in Taiwan.

00:44:59In the past, there were only 9 tribes and some Han people living in Taiwan.

00:45:03In the 13th century, the Bodhidharma explored this island,

00:45:07and found it very beautiful, so they named it Formosa.

00:45:12Formosa in the Bodhidharma language means beautiful.

00:45:15In the first years of the 17th century,

00:45:18the Spanish and Dutch occupied and colonized this island,

00:45:22divided the north into the Spanish and the south into the Dutch.

00:45:27At that time, in the land, due to the corruption of the Ming dynasty,

00:45:32the Manchurians overthrew the Ming dynasty and ruled the whole land.

00:45:37A loyal general of the Ming dynasty, Mr. Tran Thanh Kong,

00:45:42fought against the Manchurians, hoping to restore the Ming dynasty.

00:45:47At that time, in this island,

00:45:49a minister of the Ming dynasty, Mr. Ha Dinh Vu,

00:45:52because he didn't want the rule of the Westerners,

00:45:55he found a way to meet General Tran Thanh Kong,

00:45:57and asked Tran Thanh Kong to help expel the foreigners.

00:46:02These are the statues to record the history

00:46:06when the minister sent the letters and books to this island for General Tran Thanh Kong.

00:46:13The two people standing next to him are the two soldiers,

00:46:15in the middle is Mr. Tran Thanh Kong.

00:46:17The opposite side is the Westerners,

00:46:20because the clothes and hair style of the Westerners is not the Ming people,

00:46:23it's Mr. Ha Dinh Vu.

00:46:25He was a soldier of Tran Thanh Kong's father in the land,

00:46:29when the Manchurians invaded,

00:46:31Tran Thanh Kong's father lost,

00:46:32so he moved to the Netherlands to live there for a while.

00:46:35I don't know how he followed the Dutch army to Taiwan and worked for the Dutch.

00:46:41After a while,

00:46:43he spent all his time to study all the geographical locations of this island,

00:46:48especially the military.

00:46:50One more thing,

00:46:51it's the water level,

00:46:53when it's high, when it's low,

00:46:55and every day, every month, it's recorded in the book.

00:46:57After that, he came to meet Tran Thanh Kong in the land.

00:47:00Thanks to that strategy,

00:47:01Tran Thanh Kong gathered more than 300 large and small warships,

00:47:04more than 40 battleships,

00:47:06departed from the island of Kimmon,

00:47:07came to the lake,

00:47:08gathered forces,

00:47:09and defeated the South,

00:47:10creating the victory today.

00:47:15This is the model of the ships

00:47:17that Tran Thanh Kong brought to drive the Dutch out of this island.

00:47:22After taking over the island,

00:47:23this is also the place where Tran Thanh Kong used to sleep

00:47:27and work for the longest time.

00:47:30This tower was built by the Dutch in the Ming Dynasty,

00:47:34in 1653.

00:47:37At that time, the locals called this tower

00:47:39the tower of the red invaders.

00:47:41Hong means red, Mao means dragon.

00:47:44Because the locals called the westerners the red devils,

00:47:47the red dragon devils.

00:47:51Later, the tower was renamed Shikan Tower,

00:47:55which is the name of a tribe now.

00:47:59The Taiwanese considered Tran Thanh Kong

00:48:01as a national hero of this island.

00:48:04He saw the beautiful island,

00:48:06and especially the structures on the island,

00:48:08from the mountain, river to the coast,

00:48:10all have a curved shape,

00:48:12so he named the island Taiwan.

00:48:15Tai means Taiwan,

00:48:16Wan is curved,

00:48:17which Vietnamese now call Taiwan.

00:48:20Tai means Tai,

00:48:21and housing means Tai.

00:48:43Hey.

00:48:45And especially here it is very difficult to park a motorcycle.

00:48:48I have to park as far as I can get,

00:48:49The night market of Taichung is the most famous and largest night market in Taiwan.

00:48:56The reason is that there are two universities nearby.

00:49:00One is close to the university, and the other is on the street.

00:49:03So if you have a problem at night, you can go out to eat.

00:49:19It's hot. Give me a tissue.

00:49:29Eating sweet potatoes is not like in Vietnam where we peel the skin.

00:49:31You have to eat it.

00:49:49It's good.

00:49:56It's good.

00:49:58It's sweet.

00:50:01It's hot.

00:50:03They put coal in the oven.

00:50:06They make a hole like this to grill the sweet potatoes.

00:50:09Taiwanese people love to eat grilled sweet potatoes.

00:50:12It's good.

00:50:18Why do you have a mosquito bite?

00:50:19Turn around.

00:50:25Why do you have a mosquito bite?

00:50:27Why do you have a mosquito bite?

00:50:29I'm a tiger.

00:50:34I just walked to the end of the alley.

00:50:36I thought it was a tiger, but it's not.

00:50:39It's a tiger tofu.

00:50:41It's so big.

00:50:43It's good.

00:50:47Let's go home.

00:50:49Let's go eat tiger tofu.

00:50:51I've eaten tiger tofu in Shanghai.

00:50:54But the tiger tofu in Shanghai is not as good as the tiger tofu in Taiwan.

00:50:57It's good.

00:51:06This is a cake.

00:51:08It's made of flour.

00:51:10It's like a cake.

00:51:12There are shrimps, squids, and seafood in the filling.

00:51:17This mold is used to make the cake look round.

00:51:23Then they put the cake in the oil to make it round.

00:51:31This is also a fried dish.

00:51:33This is also a Taiwanese style.

00:51:35It's fried and grilled.

00:51:49It's special.

00:51:51The outside is soft.

00:51:53But the outside is crispy because of the oil.

00:51:56But the inside is chewy.

00:51:58It's strange and delicious.

00:52:00My mouth is getting hot.

00:52:02I can smell the seafood.

00:52:04I can smell the squid, shrimp, and fish.

00:52:06I'm sweating.

00:52:15This is sweet potato.

00:52:17It's hot and sweet.

00:52:20It's made of flour.

00:52:22It's also a fried dish.

00:52:24It's Taiwanese style.

00:52:2620 TWD is less than 1 TWD.

00:52:28Thank you.

00:52:34Thank you.

00:52:38Let's go.

00:52:40Hello.

00:52:42Hello.

00:52:44Hello.

00:52:46Hello.

00:52:48Hello.

00:52:50Hello.

00:52:56It's boiled.

00:52:58It's cooked.

00:53:00It's covered with bean sprouts.

00:53:02It's bean sprouts.

00:53:08It's like sticky rice.

00:53:10It's sticky.

00:53:12I can't smell the blood.

00:53:14I can smell the bean.

00:53:16It's fragrant, sweet, and spicy.

00:53:24This is the first time I've seen a white cucumber.

00:53:26It's called white cucumber.

00:53:28It's good to stir-fry it.

00:53:30It's good to stir-fry it.

00:53:32It's good to stir-fry it.

00:53:34It's called white cucumber.

00:53:42It's called white cucumber.

00:53:44It's sweet and fragrant.

00:53:46It's sweet and fragrant.

00:53:48It's less bitter.

00:53:50It's bitter.

00:53:52It's bitter.

00:54:16Night market

00:54:22Night market

00:54:28This is a chicken feet shop.

00:54:30It's frozen chicken feet.

00:54:32It's made of bean sprouts.

00:54:34It's frozen.

00:54:36It's frozen.

00:54:38This chicken feet shop is the best.

00:54:40It's not only in the Central region,

00:54:42but in Taiwan, too.

00:54:44Normally, it's not that crowded.

00:54:46But on holidays,

00:54:48even tourists from all over the country

00:54:50buy dozens of boxes

00:54:52to bring home.

00:54:54This is a specialty of the Central region.

00:55:00The frozen chicken feet

00:55:02are put in the freezer.

00:55:04You can take whatever you want

00:55:06and pay for it.

00:55:08It's not just chicken feet.

00:55:10It has chicken stomach,

00:55:12spleen, bean sprouts,

00:55:14wings, chicken legs,

00:55:16all kinds of chicken.

00:55:18But the most famous one is chicken feet.

00:55:28Oh, the smell is so strong.

00:55:302, 4, 6,

00:55:327 chicken feet.

00:55:347 chicken feet cost more than 1 dollar.

00:55:36You can buy whatever you want.

00:55:38It's already frozen.

00:55:48There's no bone.

00:55:50It's whole.

00:55:54It's not strong at all.

00:55:56It doesn't smell like medicine.

00:55:58It's just fish sauce.

00:56:00It's sweet and salty.

00:56:02It's cold.

00:56:06It doesn't make you feel bored.

00:56:08It's like eating at a restaurant.

00:56:10The chicken feet

00:56:12which are called Kung Chao

00:56:14are thick like this.

00:56:16It makes you feel bored.

00:56:18But the chicken feet don't make you feel bored.

00:56:20Because it's not much.

00:56:26This is duck wing.

00:56:32This is duck, not chicken.

00:56:34It's like

00:56:36boiling duck or chicken

00:56:38and then it's cold.

00:56:40You put it in the fridge and it's cold.

00:56:42But the difference is

00:56:44the chicken is soft

00:56:46so the meat is firm.

00:56:48And the sauce

00:56:50is absorbed by the chicken.

00:56:52It's good.

00:56:54I just realized

00:56:56that the food is good

00:56:58because of the sauce.

00:57:00It's good.

00:57:02I just realized

00:57:04that the food is good

00:57:06because of the sauce.

00:57:08The chicken feet

00:57:10or the duck wings

00:57:12are like Vietnamese dishes.

00:57:14Vietnamese people

00:57:16put the leftovers in the fridge

00:57:18to keep them fresh

00:57:20and then they cook them again.

00:57:22Why don't we cook like them

00:57:24and make a new dish?

00:57:26We put the leftovers in the fridge

00:57:28and we don't have to cook them again.

00:57:30It's good.

00:57:36When you drive on the street in Taiwan

00:57:38you can see the traffic lights

00:57:40and the traffic lights

00:57:42and there are beautiful girls

00:57:44who wear nice clothes

00:57:46to buy food for the drivers.

00:57:48to buy food for the drivers.

00:57:50I'll buy it.

00:57:52This is one of the houses

00:57:54where Taiwanese girls sit

00:57:56to sell rice paddies

00:57:58to buy rice paddies for consumption.

00:58:00When you see the traffic lights

00:58:02you can see the rice paddies.

00:58:04In the past,

00:58:06they just sell rice paddies.

00:58:08But because of the competition

00:58:10they want to sell more

00:58:12so they wear more attractive clothes

00:58:14to attract people's attention.

00:58:20Ah, this is

00:58:22to put in the box.

00:58:24This cup is for drinking.

00:58:26Ah, thank you.

00:58:28For Taiwanese girls

00:58:30who sell rice paddies

00:58:32on the street like this

00:58:34in the past, parents didn't agree

00:58:36and Taiwanese people didn't agree

00:58:38because the image is not beautiful.

00:58:40But it's a job.

00:58:42That's how the competition

00:58:44to sell more goods.

00:58:46Rice paddies are made in many different ways.

00:58:48One type is put in the box like this.

00:58:50The rice paddy is cut

00:58:52to be chewed.

00:58:54This is very convenient

00:58:56when driving.

00:58:58You just need to open the box

00:59:00and put it in your mouth like a pill.

00:59:02It doesn't make you feel sick

00:59:04but it makes you feel better.

00:59:06So you don't feel sleepy when driving.

00:59:08Another type is

00:59:10the rice paddies are put in the bag.

00:59:12The leaves are outside.

00:59:14The leaves have thorns inside.

00:59:16This is the rice paddy.

00:59:18The rice paddy is eaten

00:59:20with this part.

00:59:22It's still tall.

00:59:24It's eaten with the thorns.

00:59:30The sour,

00:59:32strong,

00:59:34and spicy taste

00:59:36of the leaves

00:59:38and the thorns

00:59:40makes

00:59:42your mouth feel dry.

00:59:44Secondly,

00:59:46although you don't swallow the water,

00:59:48the rice paddies

00:59:50make you feel hot.

00:59:52Your face feels warmer.

00:59:54It makes you feel better.

00:59:58Taiwanese people

01:00:00are used to eating rice paddies.

01:00:02There are 2 million Taiwanese people

01:00:04eating rice paddies.

01:00:06There are many rice paddies

01:00:08on the streets of Taiwan.

01:00:10According to statistics,

01:00:12most of the people

01:00:14who eat rice paddies

01:00:16have cancer

01:00:18or mouth cancer

01:00:20because of the thorns.

01:00:22However,

01:00:24if you eat too much rice paddies,

01:00:26your teeth will be damaged.

01:00:28This is one of the styles of Taiwanese people.

01:00:32Look at my mouth.

01:00:34Let me show you my tongue.

01:00:36My tongue.

01:00:38Isn't it cool?

01:00:40Let me show you my teeth.

01:00:46When we come to Taichung,

01:00:48I think we should visit

01:00:50the biggest temple

01:00:52compared to the temples

01:00:54in Southeast Asia,

01:00:56Taichung Great Temple.

01:01:04This temple

01:01:06was built by

01:01:08a monk called

01:01:10Chiang

01:01:12in 1992.

01:01:14He learned about Buddhism

01:01:16when he was young,

01:01:18but he spent a lot of time

01:01:20studying Buddhism.

01:01:22In 1963,

01:01:24he went to prison

01:01:26in Kuala Lumpur,

01:01:28in the temple.

01:01:30Every morning,

01:01:32he woke up early

01:01:34to clean up the temple.

01:01:36When people were eating,

01:01:38he used their free time

01:01:40to study Buddhism.

01:01:42He spent a lot of time

01:01:44studying Buddhism

01:01:46in the temple

01:01:48in Taipei.

01:01:50He also spent a lot of time

01:01:52advertising his ideas

01:01:54with the hope

01:01:56that Buddhism

01:01:58will be developed

01:02:00to everyone.

01:02:02This dream came true

01:02:04when many disciples

01:02:06worshiped him

01:02:08and built the first temple

01:02:10in Taichung

01:02:12in 2002.

01:02:20He built Taichung Great Temple

01:02:22based on

01:02:243 foundations

01:02:26of Buddhism.

01:02:28The first foundation

01:02:30includes 3 parts,

01:02:32Buddhism,

01:02:34teaching and meditation.

01:02:36The second part

01:02:38is to be sincere

01:02:40and to fight with each other.

01:02:42The third foundation

01:02:44consists of 5 parts,

01:02:46Buddhism, teaching,

01:02:48art, science and life.

01:02:50So people need to know how to study

01:02:52and study Buddhism.

01:02:54When they understand,

01:02:56they need to transmit it

01:02:58and see it as

01:03:00an art and science.

01:03:02They need to see it and analyze it

01:03:04and know it as science

01:03:06of the Buddha and the Buddha's Dharma in the life of a human being.

01:03:09The structure of the Middle Way, the highest one, is a round candle.

01:03:13It symbolizes that there is a candle in every person's heart.

01:03:16This candle is covered with lotus flowers.

01:03:19The lotus flowers symbolize that Buddhism covers the candle of a human being.

01:03:23Like when Buddha showed the way of life,

01:03:25he stepped out and went to the lotus pavilions.

01:03:27The shape of the candle is like the hat of the Three Jewels.

01:03:30And on both sides are two candles.

01:03:32This is the candle of the Three Jewels

01:03:35On the 16th floor, there is a hall of Buddha.

01:03:39There are more than 20,000 Buddha statues in it.

01:03:42And inside, on the wall,

01:03:44are the candles that have been attached since ancient times.

01:03:48In addition, there is a seven-story tower made of wood,

01:03:52but it is not made of any wood.

01:03:54It is very beautiful.

01:03:57The Middle Way

01:04:00This is the Temple of the Four Heavens,

01:04:03which is the temple of the Four Great Heavens.

01:04:05Four corners are the statues of the Four Great Heavens.

01:04:09A statue like this has four faces,

01:04:11looking in four directions, looking down.

01:04:13These four statues are the four generals in heaven,

01:04:17holding the four corners of the sky,

01:04:19looking down to the heaven,

01:04:21and each person holds a treasure in his hand.

01:04:23Oil, guitar, sword, and the tower next to the dragon.

01:04:28These four generals look down to the heaven,

01:04:30with the mission of keeping the heaven from rain, snow, wind, and thunder.

01:04:43This is the Buddha statue,

01:04:45located right in the middle of Dai Hung Pao Diem.

01:04:48Here we can see the color

01:04:50to make the statue,

01:04:52or the decoration in the room.

01:04:54It is not like the yellow or red color of the temples,

01:04:58but the color is a combination of red and gray,

01:05:02so it has a slightly brownish shape,

01:05:05which looks a bit dirty,

01:05:06because this is the first floor,

01:05:08the closest place to heaven.

01:05:10That is the meaning of the color of this Dai Hung Pao Diem.

01:05:14On both sides of the Buddha statue,

01:05:16there are two trees,

01:05:18a black tree and a white tree.

01:05:20The black one is from Vietnam,

01:05:23and the white one is from India.

01:05:25They are incense trees.

01:05:27Incense is a kind of tree that people can burn to create incense,

01:05:31which we use to create incense in temples or temples.

01:05:38On the right side of the Dai Hung Pao Diem,

01:05:40there is the statue of the Dalai Lama,

01:05:44the combination of Western and Chinese architecture,

01:05:47with the combination of light art,

01:05:49and the way it is displayed,

01:05:50makes us feel like we are entering a museum,

01:05:53a museum in a temple,

01:05:56and with light,

01:05:57although it is simple,

01:05:58but the art is like this.

01:05:59Here, this temple,

01:06:01in 2003,

01:06:03has won the highest light art award in the country.

01:06:17The Taipei Museum of Art

01:06:29Taipei Museum of Art

01:06:31Taipei Museum of Art

01:06:33When I came to Taiwan,

01:06:35I learned that here

01:06:37there is a person called Rik Yueng,

01:06:39the emperor of the rik,

01:06:41who used to make rik to make medicine.

01:06:43Only one person in Taiwan.

01:06:45When I contacted a woman,

01:06:49I found out that she was Vietnamese,

01:06:51a staff here,

01:06:53Ms. Trang.

01:06:54This is his house.

01:06:56I don't know where he made rik,

01:06:58or where he made rik,

01:07:00I don't know. Let's go in and see.

01:07:02Ms. Trang,

01:07:04a staff here.

01:07:06Who is the owner?

01:07:08This is the owner.

01:07:09What is the owner's name?

01:07:11His name is Lam Phuc Thanh.

01:07:13How do you know this place?

01:07:15Do you work here?

01:07:17No, I don't.

01:07:19I have a husband here.

01:07:21You have a husband in Taiwan, right?

01:07:23Yes.

01:07:24How long have you been married?

01:07:25More than 3 years.

01:07:27Is your husband here?

01:07:28Yes.

01:07:29Really?

01:07:34Lam,

01:07:35I'm so happy.

01:07:37There is a funny thing.

01:07:39When I was looking for my phone,

01:07:42the man who made rik,

01:07:44to talk about making rik,

01:07:46and making wine or medicine,

01:07:48the receptionist

01:07:50was a native speaker.

01:07:52But after talking for a while,

01:07:54I found out that she was Vietnamese.

01:07:56I thought she was a staff here.

01:07:58When I came here,

01:08:00I found out that Ms. Trang

01:08:02had a husband in Taiwan.

01:08:04This is Lam Phuc Thanh.

01:08:06This is the owner.

01:08:08This is the owner.

01:08:10This is the owner.

01:08:12Hello.

01:08:14Hello.

01:08:16Beautiful, not beautiful.

01:08:18Beautiful.

01:08:20What kind of medicine do you like?

01:08:22He said

01:08:24when you have a stomachache,

01:08:26you can drink a glass of medicine.

01:08:28But it's true that you have a stomachache.

01:08:30It's like when you eat,

01:08:32you have a stomachache.

01:08:34You have a stomachache.

01:08:36And you have a stomachache.

01:08:38You have a stomachache, right?

01:08:40Can you drink it all?

01:08:42Yes.

01:08:44Lam Phuc Thanh

01:08:46is a native speaker.

01:08:48He talks about making rik,

01:08:50making wine or medicine.

01:08:52Now I can follow

01:08:54Lam Phuc Thanh

01:08:56to catch rik,

01:08:58and make wine.

01:09:00This is one of the

01:09:02interesting topics that we should know.

01:09:04Before, everyone was afraid of rik.

01:09:06But now, rik has many benefits.

01:09:08Now I'm going to catch rik.

01:09:12Rik is not easy to catch.

01:09:14It depends on

01:09:16the environment.

01:09:18Most people catch rik

01:09:20and sell it to Lam Phuc Thanh.

01:09:22Then he can make wine.

01:09:24Where do you live?

01:09:26Where do you live?

01:09:28Right here.

01:09:30Right here.

01:09:32Is there a lock everywhere?

01:09:34Is there a lock everywhere?

01:09:36Yes, there is.

01:09:42This is the area

01:09:44where many rik live.

01:09:46They dig right here

01:09:48to catch rik.

01:09:50Now I'm going to dig.

01:09:58Here it is.

01:10:00It's a snake.

01:10:02It's a snake.

01:10:04It's a snake.

01:10:08It's a snake.

01:10:12Is it poisonous?

01:10:14Yes, it is.

01:10:16Hey, hey.

01:10:18It's a poisonous snake.

01:10:20It's so poisonous.

01:10:22It's a double-headed snake.

01:10:24It's a double-headed snake.

01:10:26This is dangerous.

01:10:28I've just caught a snake,

01:10:30a double-headed snake.

01:10:32What?

01:10:38Wait, wait.

01:10:40A double-headed snake is a poisonous snake.

01:10:42It can bite and kill people.

01:10:44But it can't kill people.

01:10:46So digging

01:10:48to catch rik

01:10:50is a dangerous job.

01:10:52Every year,

01:10:54in March or April,

01:10:56hundreds of rik come out.

01:10:58But it's just a small number.

01:11:00It's so dangerous.

01:11:04I've just dug.

01:11:06I'm catching rik, not a snake.

01:11:10This way.

01:11:18There's another snake.

01:11:20It's a snake.

01:11:22Oh, my.

01:11:24It's a snake.

01:11:26It bit him.

01:11:28It's a snake.

01:11:30It's a double-headed snake.

01:11:32Look at me.

01:11:44It's biting.

01:11:46It's biting.

01:11:50Let's kill it.

01:11:52No, no, don't kill it.

01:11:56In the future, I won't be a carpenter, I'll be a snake carpenter.

01:12:00Is he really a carpenter?

01:12:02Why did he point at Mr. Dao, but Dao is a snake carpenter?

01:12:07Hey!

01:12:18Hey!

01:12:19Hey!

01:12:24I'm sorry.

01:12:26Dao is good.

01:12:27Dao is good, Dao is good.

01:12:32Keep digging, keep digging.

01:12:37Oh!

01:12:38Oh!

01:12:39Oh!

01:12:40Oh!

01:12:43Oh!

01:12:46Hey!

01:12:47Where do you want me to hold you?

01:12:49Where do you want me to hold you?

01:12:51Anywhere is fine.

01:12:53He doesn't have long arms.

01:12:55This one is big.

01:13:09It's okay.

01:13:11I'm good.

01:13:13You're good.

01:13:15I'm good.

01:13:17I'm good.

01:13:19I'm good.

01:13:31Okay.

01:13:33This one has 40 legs.

01:13:35Do you hear me?

01:13:39Is this one okay?

01:13:43This one.

01:13:45This one has red head and black body.

01:13:47This one is good.

01:13:49But it's not good if it has a blue head.

01:13:51It's not good if it has a red head.

01:13:53This one is good.

01:13:55This one can be sold for

01:13:579 or 10 dollars.

01:13:59Wow.

01:14:01I want one more.

01:14:03Where do you want me to put it?

01:14:07This one is big.

01:14:23What's wrong?

01:14:27This one is good.

01:14:29This one is good.

01:14:31If we catch this one,

01:14:33we'll be so lucky.

01:14:35It's been a long time.

01:14:37It's been a long time.

01:14:39This one is good.

01:14:45It's so fast.

01:14:47A green snake.

01:14:49The other one is looking at us.

01:14:51A green snake.

01:14:53Wait a minute.

01:14:57It's not a salmon.

01:14:59It's a blue salamander.

01:15:10Ah! There it is!

01:15:13Hey! It's running away!

01:15:16A red-headed lizard.

01:15:17A red-headed lizard. I'm going to eat it.

01:15:19Hey! Hey!

01:15:20It's worth $20.

01:15:23It's running away.

01:15:24It's running away. It's running away.

01:15:25It has 40 legs. It's running away.

01:15:27It won't die even if it's bitten once.

01:15:28But it can be painful for a whole day.

01:15:30Some people have it for 2-3 days.

01:15:31So we have to detoxify it,

01:15:32take its toxin,

01:15:33soak it in wine,

01:15:34treat the disease.

01:15:39Now I'm going home.

01:15:40I'm going to soak it in wine.

01:15:41One soaked in wine, one fried.

01:15:49Thank you.

01:15:51Before frying it,

01:15:53we have to clean it first.

01:16:11It smells like fried shrimp.

01:16:13Look at its shell.

01:16:20Is it done?

01:16:21It's done.

01:16:23It's done.

01:16:31It smells a little burnt.

01:16:33It's because the vegetables are burnt.

01:16:38One thing to remember is that

01:16:39if you see a red-headed lizard,

01:16:40don't catch it first.

01:16:42There are many kinds of lizards.

01:16:43Not all of them can be eaten.

01:16:45If there is a red-headed lizard,

01:16:46you shouldn't eat it.

01:16:47If there is a green-headed lizard,

01:16:48you shouldn't eat it.

01:16:49There are only red-headed lizards

01:16:50and green-headed lizards.

01:16:51But this is a Taiwan lizard.

01:16:52I don't know what it looks like

01:16:53in other places.

01:16:54So don't see red-headed lizards

01:16:55and catch them first.

01:16:56Okay?

01:17:00Let's eat.

01:17:13It's delicious.

01:17:14I didn't expect it.

01:17:17I thought it would be bitter.

01:17:20Try it.

01:17:21It's bitter.

01:17:22Yeah, it's bitter.

01:17:24It's bitter.

01:17:27Let's try it.

01:17:30It's bitter.

01:17:31Why is it bitter?

01:17:32It'll die.

01:17:33It won't.

01:17:34The red-headed lizard will be bitter.

01:17:35It's bitter.

01:17:40It's bitter.

01:17:42It's bitter.

01:17:43It's bitter.

01:17:44It won't die.

01:17:45It will die.

01:17:46It will die.

01:17:48It won't.

01:17:49It won't die.

01:17:50Wow

01:18:20I'm hungry

01:18:29Ok

01:18:30It smells like dried shrimp or fried shrimp

01:18:35The shell looks like a shrimp shell

01:18:40so it has a burnt smell

01:18:43The meat is a bit tough

01:18:45It's good for people who have gastric pain

01:18:56This is the biggest one

01:19:05The cricket is in the ground

01:19:08so it's dirty

01:19:10We have to wash it before soaking it in wine

01:19:13If we soak it in water, it will damage the wine

01:19:19and the cricket will be poisoned

01:19:44So we have to wash it with...

01:19:47Turn up the volume

01:19:49So we have to wash it with...

01:19:51Turn up the volume

01:19:57So we have to wash it with wine

01:20:00to make it clean

01:20:02If we wash it for too long, the shell will come off

01:20:06Then we put it in the bottle

01:20:09You have to push it down

01:20:12How can I push it down?

01:20:15You have to push it down

01:20:17Wait

01:20:19It won't go in

01:22:12not for drinking.

01:22:14swollen, or anything,

01:22:16you can't use it.

01:22:17It's a waste.

01:22:22Open the bottle twice.

01:22:25Shake well, shake well.

01:22:27Shake it well, shake it evenly.

01:22:28Shake it so that the bottom

01:22:30is all in the bottle.

01:22:37Thank you.

01:22:38Thank you.

01:22:42Please.

01:22:43100%

01:22:44What?

01:22:45100%

01:22:46100%? I didn't know it was 100%.

01:22:48It smells like a cockroach,

01:23:00or a cockroach that has fallen in.

01:23:14Is it good?

01:23:17Now I know why this man is over 60 years old.

01:23:22It's because he drinks a lot.

01:23:28Thank you.

01:23:29Thank you.

01:23:30Don't be shy.

01:23:31Don't be shy.

01:23:33Say it again.

01:23:35Don't be shy.

01:23:37Don't be shy.

01:23:38Don't be shy.

01:23:47Yeah.

01:23:48Hello.

01:23:50It's not like other marriages in history.

01:23:53Ms. Ngoc Anh is a special case.

01:23:55It started from the love between two people,

01:23:58getting married,

01:23:59and that relationship lasted for more than 15 years

01:24:02with two children and a family.

01:24:04I take my two children to school in the morning,

01:24:06and they have to go to the market at 7 am.

01:24:08I have to go to the market to take care of my shop.

01:24:11What does your grandmother do?

01:24:12My grandmother goes to the gym.

01:24:16She goes to the gym?

01:24:18Yes.

01:24:19Then she does housework.

01:24:21My husband's name is Dung Phuong.

01:24:25He's a construction worker.

01:24:28I bought this house for about $200,000.

01:24:34The whole house was decorated.

01:24:41Ngoc Anh took her children from Vietnam

01:24:44to business in a famous Vietnamese restaurant in Su Dai,

01:24:49Binh Tam restaurant.

01:24:50This is a place where many young people come

01:24:53to enjoy Vietnamese food cooked by politicians

01:24:56as well as a meeting place for Vietnamese brides in Su Dai.

01:25:06Almost all of us know

01:25:08that there are Vietnamese brides living in Su Dai.

01:25:11But few people know that

01:25:13there are more than 120,000 Vietnamese brides living here.

01:25:17My parents-in-law live in the countryside,

01:25:19and they are very poor.

01:25:21It's hard for them.

01:25:23They can't afford to send their children to school

01:25:28because there are so many children.

01:25:30I think my family is very poor.

01:25:33So I agreed to go.

01:25:35But before I went,

01:25:37my grandmother and grandmother all wanted to commit suicide.

01:25:40In my hometown,

01:25:42many people in Dai Long say that

01:25:44having a husband in Dai Long

01:25:46is much better than living in Vietnam.

01:25:48If I'm lucky, I can marry a rich husband

01:25:50and help my parents.

01:25:51If I'm not lucky,

01:25:52I can work in a company

01:25:54and earn a lot of money.

01:25:56That's what I think.

01:25:58It's a sacrifice.

01:25:59If I have enough money,

01:26:01I will give it to my parents

01:26:03so that they can develop.

01:26:05My aunt lives over there.

01:26:07So I decided to go there.

01:26:09I don't go to school in Vietnam anymore.

01:26:14After hearing her words,

01:26:16she took me to her house.

01:26:18I have a dream.

01:26:20How can I forget it?

01:26:22Do you have to pay for that dream?

01:26:24No.

01:26:25When my husband got married,

01:26:27he asked me

01:26:29how much a lucky bag would cost.

01:26:32And how much a lucky bag for a dream would cost.

01:26:35When I came here,

01:26:37I found out that

01:26:39a lot of people in Dai Long

01:26:41get married in Vietnam.

01:26:43The biggest reason is

01:26:45that they don't accept

01:26:47the non-traditional way

01:26:49of Dai Long people.

01:26:51So they have to go to

01:26:53more backward countries.

01:26:55I think it's more traditional.

01:26:57It's closer to Dai Long.

01:26:59So they get married.

01:27:01But most of them are older than me.

01:27:03I'm 17 years old.

01:27:05I'm 28 years old.

01:27:07I'm 28 years old.

01:27:11My husband and I are the same age.

01:27:13We are two different generations.

01:27:15Because we are not happy with each other.

01:27:17To be honest,

01:27:19when you meet for the first time,

01:27:21you have feelings for each other.

01:27:23I didn't know how to speak at that time.

01:27:25So when my husband came here,

01:27:27I could only recognize his face.

01:27:29So I wasn't happy.

01:27:31Five years ago,

01:27:33I left my husband

01:27:35and took my two children abroad.

01:27:37Because

01:27:39living without happiness

01:27:41has no meaning.

01:27:43Now I have to go abroad

01:27:45to take care of my family.

01:27:47I will stay here

01:27:49and work

01:27:51to earn money

01:27:53to take care of my family.

01:27:55I don't want to leave him.

01:27:57I have to go abroad.

01:27:59How do you feel about your husband?

01:28:01To be honest,

01:28:03I love him.

01:28:05I respect him.

01:28:07But he doesn't love me.

01:28:09When we met for the first time,

01:28:11I asked them

01:28:13how many percent

01:28:15of the girls here are happy.

01:28:17They asked me

01:28:19what I think.

01:28:21I said 15 percent.

01:28:23They asked me

01:28:25how many percent.

01:28:27I said

01:28:295 to 10 percent.

01:28:31And after

01:28:33working with them,

01:28:35I think

01:28:37they were right.

01:28:39If you ask

01:28:41the government of Taiwan

01:28:43how many

01:28:45Vietnamese girls

01:28:47in Taiwan

01:28:49have their ID card.

01:28:51We can know

01:28:53how many percent of them are happy.

01:28:55I can say

01:28:57that

01:28:59we can see

01:29:01their happiness

01:29:03in their family life.

01:29:05Because the husband's family

01:29:09believes in his wife.

01:29:13The husband

01:29:15helps his wife.

01:29:19If a woman

01:29:21lives in Taiwan

01:29:23and her husband

01:29:25doesn't allow her

01:29:27to go with him

01:29:29to the ID office,

01:29:31they won't accept her.

01:29:33Secondly,

01:29:35the compensation

01:29:37should be

01:29:39470,000 VND

01:29:41or more than

01:29:4310,000 USD.

01:29:45When a woman

01:29:47marries a Taiwanese

01:29:49and they

01:29:51can go to the ID office,

01:29:53two things will happen.

01:29:55First, their family will be happy.

01:29:57Secondly,

01:29:59the woman will be strong,

01:30:01independent,

01:30:03and have confidence in her family.

01:30:05If you go out

01:30:07and don't belong to that family,

01:30:09how can you prove

01:30:11that you belong to that family?

01:30:13No, you can't.

01:30:15You have to hold

01:30:17the ID card

01:30:19in case

01:30:21your husband

01:30:23tells you

01:30:25not to go home.

01:30:27You have to hold the ID card

01:30:29in case

01:30:31your husband

01:30:33tells you

01:30:35not to go home.

01:30:39Most Taiwanese

01:30:41want their wives

01:30:43to stay at home

01:30:45or go to work

01:30:47but they shouldn't

01:30:49give their parents

01:30:51a lot of money.

01:30:53They think

01:30:55they are the only ones

01:30:57who can give them money.

01:30:59Most Vietnamese

01:31:01are kind

01:31:03because they don't

01:31:05belong to that family.

01:31:07If you want to help your family,

01:31:09you have to do your part.

01:31:11You can't leave your family

01:31:13behind.

01:31:15You can't leave your family behind.

01:31:17It makes sense.

01:31:19It does.

01:31:21Like my husband,

01:31:23he is a reasonable person.

01:31:25That's why I want to talk to him.

01:31:27So the conflict

01:31:29is getting worse.

01:31:31It makes sense

01:31:33because

01:31:35I'm Vietnamese,

01:31:37you're Vietnamese,

01:31:39you're Vietnamese,

01:31:41you're Vietnamese,

01:31:43so it's a tradition

01:31:45for all vietnamese.

01:31:47You have to be filial to your parents.

01:31:49Nguyen Kim Chi

01:31:51is one of the special cases

01:31:53of Vietnamese.

01:31:55From the beginning

01:31:57of her life.

01:31:59She sacrificed a lot

01:32:01for her family.

01:32:05Her family had to pay

01:32:07for everything.

01:32:09Fortunately,

01:32:11from Taiwan.

01:32:42I asked my two sisters to go to school.

01:32:46I was afraid that I would drop out of school.

01:32:48I told them to try harder.

01:32:50I grew up a lot.

01:32:53So I decided to go to school.

01:32:54I decided to go to school.

01:32:55I'm sure I won't have any friends.

01:32:59Let me ask you.

01:33:00I'm a human being.

01:33:01I'm not a god.

01:33:04I don't know what love is.

01:33:06I'm just a girl.

01:33:09I only know how to talk about school.

01:33:11I was afraid that my mom would be sad.

01:33:17It was the year 2000.

01:33:20I was so sad.

01:33:21I was so sad.

01:33:24I was still in college.

01:33:27But...

01:33:30I still went to school.

01:33:33I still went to school.

01:33:35I still went to school.

01:33:37When I got to Saigon,

01:33:38my mom kept pulling my hair.

01:33:40She asked me to step out of the gate

01:33:42to go inside.

01:33:45She held my head and said it hurt.

01:33:49It hurt.

01:33:50But my mom definitely didn't turn her head back.

01:33:53She left.

01:33:59In the morning, I saw

01:34:01that people in front of me

01:34:03were so respectful.

01:34:04But...

01:34:08Until now,

01:34:10I've never seen

01:34:12a flower

01:34:13or someone's flower

01:34:15even if it's a flower.

01:34:19My husband was so sad.

01:34:21He said

01:34:23he didn't know anything

01:34:26because he was so far away.

01:34:27He didn't know where to go.

01:34:29He tried to take his time.

01:34:30But people loved him so much.

01:34:32His sisters were all old.

01:34:34But they still loved him.

01:34:35They loved him so much.

01:34:37They bought him clothes.

01:34:38They bought him food.

01:34:40When he went to work,

01:34:42they stayed at home alone.

01:34:43They were so sad.

01:34:45They called me

01:34:46but they didn't know what to say to me.

01:34:47I didn't know what to say to them.

01:34:50They asked me

01:34:51if I had lunch.

01:34:52I said I had lunch.

01:34:54Don't be sad.

01:34:55Watch a movie.

01:34:57And...

01:34:59On Saturday,

01:35:00tell Dung

01:35:02to come to my house.

01:35:04Don't be sad.

01:35:06Yes.

01:35:07If you're sad, call me.

01:35:09Yes.

01:35:10But...

01:35:11I still remember

01:35:12that day.

01:35:13I still remember

01:35:14when my husband

01:35:15went to work.

01:35:17He didn't go out.

01:35:19At home,

01:35:20he taught me

01:35:21how to read

01:35:22and write

01:35:23Latin

01:35:24and Vietnamese

01:35:25to make it easier for me.

01:35:27One day,

01:35:28he finished his work

01:35:29and went home

01:35:30to cook for his parents.

01:35:31If he didn't finish his work,

01:35:32he would be shocked.

01:35:34One day,

01:35:35two pages.

01:35:37My husband decided

01:35:38that one day,

01:35:39two pages.

01:35:40If he couldn't study,

01:35:41it was okay

01:35:42if he studied less.

01:35:44When he came home,

01:35:45he gave my husband his homework.

01:35:48I didn't understand anything.

01:35:49My husband used English

01:35:50to explain to me.

01:35:52Slowly,

01:35:53he finished his homework

01:35:54and went to another book.

01:35:55At night,

01:35:56he went to school.

01:35:57My husband took him there

01:35:58and had a hard time.

01:36:00From the beginning

01:36:01until two years later,

01:36:05there was nothing

01:36:06that I could do.

01:36:09I always tried

01:36:10to do my best.

01:36:15In the third year,

01:36:18I got pregnant with my child.

01:36:21It was really hard.

01:36:25Like I said,

01:36:26mothers in Vietnam

01:36:28often teach their children

01:36:30not to leave

01:36:31the dishes in the house.

01:36:35Only women can do that.

01:36:37Men can't.

01:36:39Family happiness

01:36:40is not something

01:36:41that men can create.

01:36:42Women can create

01:36:43the most.

01:36:49I'm Vuoi.

01:36:50I'm 14 years old.

01:36:51I was born in Saigon

01:36:52and worked as a writer

01:36:53until I was 18

01:36:54in a company.

01:36:55After that,

01:36:56I moved to Taiwan

01:36:57and now I'm 21 years old.

01:37:00This is one of the cases

01:37:01of a Vietnamese bride

01:37:02who moved to Da Nang

01:37:03and didn't know

01:37:04how her husband was doing.

01:37:06When she got there,

01:37:07she found out

01:37:08that her husband was sick

01:37:09and had a stroke.

01:37:11She had to give birth

01:37:12to survive

01:37:13and take care

01:37:14of herself

01:37:15and her family.

01:37:17In the house,

01:37:18I had to feed my husband

01:37:19every day.

01:37:22I had to take him

01:37:23to the bathroom

01:37:24every day

01:37:25because he was so young.

01:37:32They gave me some money

01:37:33like a small envelope

01:37:34that only had a few million VND.

01:37:35I didn't have enough money

01:37:36to write on it.

01:37:38My family was still poor

01:37:39so my mother

01:37:40gave me money

01:37:41to write on it.

01:37:42During my wedding,

01:37:43I was only allowed

01:37:44to go to Taiwan

01:37:45for a month.

01:37:46But during that month,

01:37:47I didn't have a phone

01:37:48or anything.

01:37:49There were so many

01:37:50other brides

01:37:51who had to

01:37:52sleep with their husbands

01:37:53or their in-laws.

01:37:54But during my wedding,

01:37:55I was not allowed

01:37:56to see them

01:37:57once or twice.

01:37:58I only saw them

01:37:59on my wedding day.

01:38:00Because of that,

01:38:01I didn't know

01:38:02if my husband was sick.

01:38:04But he treated me

01:38:05so badly.

01:38:06Every time

01:38:07he didn't let me

01:38:08eat,

01:38:09I fainted.

01:38:12My mother-in-law

01:38:13scolded me

01:38:14and told me

01:38:15to go home

01:38:16because I was sick.

01:38:22She kept saying

01:38:23that I was a housewife.

01:38:24She said

01:38:35and I could stand it.

01:38:36But in the end,

01:38:37I couldn't stand it

01:38:38because my husband

01:38:39was also sick.

01:38:40I couldn't stand it

01:38:53Now,

01:38:54I have to leave

01:38:55because I'm going back

01:38:56to my country.

01:38:57I'm going back

01:38:58to my country next year.

01:38:59When I have time left,

01:39:00I will come here

01:39:01and work

01:39:02to earn money

01:39:03to take care of my family.

01:39:07is good

01:39:08or bad

01:39:09for you?

01:39:10I work

01:39:11to earn money

01:39:12to take care of my family.

01:39:13I'm a housewife

01:39:14not a housewife.

01:39:15I don't feel that.

01:39:18Does your family know?

01:39:19My family

01:39:20doesn't know.

01:39:22Do you call them

01:39:23to contact them?

01:39:24I call them

01:39:25every week

01:39:26but I tell them

01:39:27that I'm still a housewife

01:39:28like you

01:39:29and I don't have time

01:39:30to do this.

01:39:31I can't let my family

01:39:32know.

01:39:33If my family knows,

01:39:34I will be sad.

01:39:35If you upload a video

01:39:36and your family

01:39:37happens to see it,

01:39:38they will know.

01:39:39It's okay

01:39:40if they know.

01:39:41What is your dream?

01:39:44My dream

01:39:45is to earn

01:39:46a lot of money.

01:39:47Some money

01:39:48to give to my family

01:39:49a house

01:39:50in Vietnam

01:39:51to live with my family

01:39:53in Taiwan

01:39:54but not in my country.

01:40:19If you choose love,

01:40:20it will be the same.

01:40:46Now that you left

01:40:47I had to go there to see what was going on in the history of Taiwan.

01:40:53After a round of Taiwan, I came back to Taipei in the afternoon.

01:40:58Viet Thao is now in front of the 101 Building,

01:41:01which is the symbol of Taiwan and also the tallest building in the world.

01:41:06In the future, will the 101 Building keep its highest status?

01:41:11We don't know yet.

01:41:12And in the future, will Taiwan become a province of China or become an independent island?

01:41:18We don't know yet.

01:41:19We only know that Taiwan's society is developing very fast.

01:41:22With the integration of many people from all over the world,

01:41:25including Vietnam through labor, oxygen and education.

01:41:29This is also being solved.

01:41:32But there is one thing that has become a current problem for Taiwan.

01:41:35That is, more than 200,000 children were born on the island,

01:41:38and more than 50,000 Vietnamese were born on the island.

01:41:40What will the future be like?
