Taiwan Bravo (我們一家人), produced by the National Immigration Agency and SetTV (三立電視台), records the experiences of new immigrants in 368 towns and villages across Taiwan, including in Penghu and Lienchiang counties.
The program is broadcast at 2pm on Sundays along with a special daily Taiwan Bravo-themed segment on SetTV.
Most visitors’ first impression of Hong Kong is of a crowded city full of busy people. It is no wonder, then, that many Hong Kongers choose Taiwan as a new home.
This was certainly the case for a couple surnamed Wan (溫) and Wong (黃), who have 30 years of experience in French cooking.
After working in the kitchens of major hotels, Wan opened his own restaurant in Taiwan, although he would be in for an unforeseeable setback.
A COVID-19 alert this year put a pause on indoor dining, but Wong was ready with a plan: Bring the restaurant to the customer.
Wan and Wong brought utensils and ingredients to make a gourmet meal straight to the client’s kitchen.
Wan sources his ingredients himself. From edible roses to mushrooms, he visits farms across Taiwan to gauge their quality.
With the excellent reputation they have built for themselves, Wan and Wong have established a firm foothold in their new home.
The allure of Taiwan’s natural beauty is irresistible to many Europeans and Americans, yet the granola they are used to packing for a mid-hike boost is hard to find here.
This presented an opportunity for Emilien Crett, who moved to Taiwan after falling in love with a Taiwanese classmate in the UK.
When racking their brains for a business idea, Crett realized that the granola he was used to eating every day in Switzerland was absent from store shelves.
He developed handcrafted recipes with dried Taiwanese fruit and natural pectin to hold them together.
To his students learning Japanese, Kuma-san is the fun teacher who is always joking. Yet to his daughter, he is a big teddy bear who sends her to school with lunches the envy of all her classmates.
He started making boxed lunch three years ago, determined to make adorable creations that could compete with those prepared by mothers in Japan.
The photographs he takes of his original designs have become a hit online, drawing admiration from his many followers.
Chang Li-ying (張麗英) worked as a flight attendant for many years before marrying and settling in Taiwan.
Although it has already become a second home, a special place in her heart is reserved for her homeland, Myanmar, and other immigrants like her.
Chang volunteers at the Service Center for New Immigrant Families in New Taipei City, reading stories to mothers and their children, and helping people fill out forms.
On top of helping with speaking and understanding Chinese, she also teaches a Burmese-language class to give children a holistic education in the hope that they could move fluently between the two languages and cultures.
The stories of these new immigrants in Taiwan Bravo, which is sponsored by the New Immigrants Development Fund, relate their experiences living in Taiwan and show how different cultures can unite.
Through in-depth interviews showing the diverse cultures of new immigrants, viewers can witness their moving stories.
Taiwan Bravo is broadcast on Sundays at 2pm on SetTV, channel 54.

BITTERLY COLD: The inauguration ceremony for US president-elect Donald Trump has been moved indoors due to cold weather, with the new venue lacking capacity A delegation of cross-party lawmakers from Taiwan, led by Legislative Speaker Han Kuo-yu (韓國瑜), for the inauguration of US president-elect Donald Trump, would not be able to attend the ceremony, as it is being moved indoors due to forecasts of intense cold weather in Washington tomorrow.

Another wave of cold air would affect Taiwan starting from Friday and could evolve into a continental cold mass, the Central Weather Administration (CWA) said yesterday.
