Some immigrants create a host of problems for their host country. Others make it a more beautiful place. What if you bring in someone who was already a troublemaker in her home country? Inviting trouble? Maybe not. Taiwan brings in an attractive delinquent who finds a new and much more meaningful life in Taiwan. Beautiful story.
The photo above was purchased from a stock photo site. I find an uncanny resemblance between the model and the woman in the video. Coincidence or same person?
Her life was totally transformed. For someone who spent her days playing video games and fighting. She arrived in Taiwan with no ability to speak Mandarin. In just 10 years, her Mandarin is perfect – better than a lot of Singaporeans who spent most of their schooling years studying Chinese.
I’m not sure how typical or representative this story is, but it would be really nice if Singapore could import more Vietnamese like her.
