WSJ - The New Taiwanese
Lan Pei-chia (藍佩嘉), Associate Sociology Professor at National Taiwan University, talked about the assimilation of immigrants into Taiwanese families.
In December 2009, I worked as a translator/fixer for the Wall Street Journal. While I was not the photojournalist on this project, I was able to snap a few frames.
One of the stories that I worked on is about "The New Taiwanese." Taiwan currently has one of the lowest birth rates in the world. Women are now more empowered and are finding more appeal in single life. A number of men, primarily middle-aged individuals pressured to have families, go abroad to find wives. More and more children from immigrant families are making up the future population of Taiwan.
The feature appeared in the April 9th, 2010 edition of the Wall Street Journal and the full article can be found online here:

Here are the two other Wall Street Journal articles I worked on:
