My Signature Represents Me: Writing in ‘Taiwanese’ on the United States Census

Posted on Tuesday, May 26th, 2020 at 10:09 am.

Written by Guest Contributor

My name is Christina Hu, and I am a Taiwanese American.

In 2019, I signed on to lead the Write In Taiwanese campaign for the 2020 Census [on behalf of] the Taiwanese American Citizens League.

The pandemic had changed many of our pre planned events, but I have never felt more committed to the goals I had set for the Write In Taiwanese campaign-

1. We care that everyone gets counted, and

2. We care that everyone knows that they can write-in under “Other” categories if they are not represented on the 2020 census.  For Taiwanese, we will complete the census by checking the “Other Asian” box and writing in “Taiwanese.”

Interestingly, I rather enjoy being under this “Other” category.  It actually makes me feel more special.  I know a lot of people would define being “Other” as something negative, but I think the act of writing in is quite empowering because by writing in, I act as the final authority on who I am. There is something tremendously American about not letting anyone else but yourself define who you are or what you are made of.

Also, I think America at its core is a country that is made up of people who at some point or another came from somewhere else and had been an “Other” to one another.

When I immigrated to the United States in the middle of 5th grade, I did not speak English.  When I forgot my lunch money for school I had to communicate through miming.  I would put my hands into my pocket and turn it inside out and shrug shoulders to signify that I had no money.

Things in my 5th grade classroom went on somewhat the same – I could either just mime my way through science and art classes or just don’t talk to anyone like in math class.  But during English class, I just sat in the back of the classroom and drew in my notebook. My 5th grade teacher didn’t know what to do with me at all so she left me alone.

But luckily for me, my sixth grade teacher Mrs. Hwang took it upon herself to make sure I stopped falling behind and learned English.  Mrs. Hwang was married to a Chinese American who spoke Mandarin, and I remember meeting them both for the first time toward the end of my fifth grade year.  Mr. Hwang explained to me that at the end of my sixth grade year, I would have to pass the literacy test in order to graduate from elementary school, and since I had not done anything during the English class in the fifth grade it was a possibility that I may not be able to graduate.

But Mrs. Hwang had a plan for me. Her goal was to accelerate my English reading and comprehension levels so that I could join the rest of the class and pass the literacy test by the end of sixth grade.  She really believed that all I needed was a plan and she had one! I will never forget her voice on that day – she spoke with such a tone of urgency that I understood that she was determined to help me.

As sixth grade year started, Mrs. Hwang had recruited the parents of my classmates to come in to read with me on an one-on-one basis.  My classmates would watch me leave when we have English class because I needed to work on catching up. By mid year, my English was good enough to join everyone for spelling tests.  I remember being able to spell more words than I understood.  I still remember the day it was my turn to not only spell the word but to also put the word in a sentence.  My word was “echo.”  I remember when I said the word “echo” and I paused – I was in a panic – and then someone shouted the word “echo” (with two hands clasped around the mouth) and then one by one my classmates repeated the word “echo”, “echo”, “echo”, “echo”, I quickly picked up that they were showing me the meaning of the word.  It was amazing!  I was able to put the word in a sentence that day.  I remember feeling like I could do anything after that knowing I have such a supportive community behind me.

Then one day there was a petition that got passed around for signatures.  I don’t remember what the petition was about – it could have possibly been about lunch menu selections (for some reason the school consulted six graders about lunch selections), or it could have been about seating assignments (I do remember it was very important for sixth graders who you get to sit next to).  I remember being at awe – that as a sixth grader – I got to have a say in school affairs.  In Taiwan, when I was a student there, responsibility was taught very differently; for example, classes were assigned bathrooms and stairwells that they would clean each day and seating assignments were determined by your latest test score.  So I was excited to engage civically as a sixth grader in my American classroom and I signed the petition without giving it too much thought.

I remember later on when Mrs. Hwang asked me why I signed the petition, I didn’t have a good answer.  In my sixth grade mind,  all I knew then was that, my signature suddenly meant something to someone of authority and that was exciting. But what she said to me next has stayed with me ever since – she said “your signature represents you”. She was telling me that my signature should mean something to ME too. I have thought many times since then – what it means to live a life where I embody the message that my signature represents me.  I have come to believe that her message was not only about being thoughtful and sincere in what I do and say individually, but also about speaking up and paving ways for the truth for myself and my community.

As a Taiwanese American, it has become increasingly important for me to speak up to affirm my own existence and help others understand my community. I see the act of writing in ‘Taiwanese’ under the “Other Asian” box on the Census Form as something beautiful and positive.  I think it is because when I write in Taiwanese on the Census form, it feels like I am putting down my own signature of affirmation for who I am as a proud Taiwanese American.  When I write in, I am not just getting myself counted for my own representation, but I am also writing in for the community I represent.

I know when Mrs. Hwang told me that “your signature represents you”, she probably only meant that she wanted me to think more carefully where I put down my signature. But this phrase has evolved and expanded in its meaning to me as I accumulate my own life experience.  And the more experience I have in life, I realize more just how amazing it was to have a teacher who had believed in me as much as she had.

As my reading comprehension levels improved in sixth grade, I started to be able to read complete stories and novels, and of all the novels that Mrs. Hwang selected for me, my favorite was Charlotte’s Web.  It’s a story about the unlikely friendship between a spider and a pig, and the spider Charlotte weaved words in her web about Wilbur (the pig), so the farmer and others would also find Wilbur to be so amazing that the farmer would have to spare Wilbur’s life.  I think only in retrospect did I understand what a profound story Charlotte’s Web was.

This particular dialogue had stayed with me too.  Wilbur, the little piggy, asking Charlotte, the spider “Why did you do all this for me? I don’t deserve it.  I’ve never done anything for you.”  And Charlotte replied, “you have been my friend.  That in itself is a tremendous thing.”  Mrs. Hwang had shown me a type of friendship that was tremendous too that I will never forget to live my life inspired by her actions and words that my signature represents me.

To this day, it surprises me how quickly I learned English, but I know Mrs. Hwang was the reason that I did.  At the end of sixth grade, I passed the literacy test and was able to graduate from sixth grade.

Years later, we reconnected and agreed to meet up. I always wanted to thank her for all that she did. But, Mrs. Hwang died in a car accident the year that we had said that we would meet again, so I never got to thank her for the difference she had made in my life.

But wherever she is now, I look to make her proud. I know she would be happy that I have prioritized service and activism in my life. I have served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Ukraine and worked as a Regional Get Out the Vote Director for President Obama.

I also know that if she were here she would probably tell me to not dwell on thanking her but think about how to pay it forward, and I could also hear her say to me that I should really just make myself proud.

So, this year, by leading the Write In Taiwanese Campaign for the 2020 Census, I know I am not only just embracing my American value that everyone counts, but also I am living up to the ideal inspired by Mrs. Hwang that “My Signature Represents Me” when I check that “Other Asian” box and write in “Taiwanese”. Like the Write In Taiwanese Campaign for the 2020 Census slogan says – This is Who We Are. Make It Count!

Savouring this powerful @latimes profile of @dearc Savouring this powerful @latimes profile of @dearclarissa and her forthcoming cookbook with Ivy Chen:  Taiwan’s odyssey to establish its distinct identity is manifold and complex. It won’t be worldwide recognition of any single component of the culture, history, politics or food that accomplishes this but a combination of them all. Certainly, Wei and Chen are leading the charge on the food front with “Made in Taiwan.”  Without preparing a single dish, readers will come away with a clearer picture of Taiwan and a better comprehension of its relationship with China and the rest of the world. And, what’s more, using the recipes can be an exercise in creating comfort — an antidote to the cross-strait tensions chronicled in the book. A simple bowl of braised minced pork belly over rice can be a soothing embrace — or a small act of defiance during volatile times.  “Our identity is constantly changing. I could not have written my book 20 years ago. It wouldn’t exist. It would not make sense, because Taiwanese identity was very different back then,” Wei says. “This book is a reflection of what it is now.”  Pre-order now: https://bookshop.org/a/6825/9781982198978

Today in @nytimes — What Cuisine Means to Taiwa Today in @nytimes —  What Cuisine Means to Taiwan’s Identity and Its Clash With China by Li Yuan  Ching-yi Chen, a food writer in Taipei, asked each attendee of an event to bring a dish that the person considered to be Taiwanese cuisine. A woman in her 20s brought mapo tofu, originally from China’s Sichuan Province, because she grew up eating it. An older pro-independence politician brought a bowl of eel noodle. That is a dish from Tainan, the stronghold of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party, which promotes Taiwanese nationalism.
To Ms. Chen, both qualified as Taiwanese cuisines. “Anything on this land that is transformed and given a new form or life can be referred to as ‘Taiwanese cuisine,’” she said.  https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/08/business/taiwan-cuisine.html

Like many second-generation Taiwanese Americans, Taliyah has grandparents with limited English fluency, and she wanted to cultivate the ability to converse with them beyond a few limited phrases. Since Google Translate does not have Taiwanese as a language (though in 2022 Meta developed an artificially intelligent translation system to convert Hokkien to spoken English), Taliyah developed a web-based solution of her own. ⁠

A large majority of Taiwanese Americans (95%) hold a favorable view of Taiwan, including 75% who say their opinion is very favorable.⁠
⁠
Our biggest takeaway from this survey is that YOUR INPUT MATTERS!  We are so proud of everyone who rallied with us for @write.in.taiwanese.census @taclorg to be counted as a self-identified Taiwanese. Please continue to engage in surveys and further research so that they more accurately reflect the diversity of our broader community. The data won't tell you who you are -- who you are is the data. Make it count! ⁠
⁠
It's also important for us to note that we don't conflate views of ancestral homeland with cultural or ethnic pride. It is completely valid and fair to be proud of your roots *and* critical of your or your parents' origin country. We hope these findings spark thoughtful conversation and not shame for any of the communities examined in the survey.⁠

New on @taiwaneseam_org - Professor Brian Hu's tak New on @taiwaneseam_org - Professor Brian Hu's take on the Ten(+) Taiwanese American Films to watch:⁠
⁠
"What is Taiwanese American cinema? Films directed by Taiwanese Americans? Films about the relationship between nation and diaspora? Films that explore the specific experiences of American-born Taiwanese? Films that distinguish themselves culturally or politically from the more recognizable “Asian American” or “Chinese American” film? There’s not enough of a critical mass of films to answer that question with any meaningful conviction. But perhaps this ambiguity is what has always energized an emerging Taiwanese American identity: a flexibility with any or all of those parameters. Taiwanese American cinema is whatever we need it to be to bring together community, and to rally around familiar dialects and accents, experiences of immigration and return, family and history."⁠

Get the behind-the-scenes scoop on the newest show Get the behind-the-scenes scoop on the newest show from @taiwanplus, Kitchen Remix.⁠
⁠
The format of “Kitchen Remix” is fairly simple: Clarissa leads the pair in preparing a traditional dish, sharing cooking tips and historical tidbits along the way, and then Brandon puts a spin on it with international ingredients.⁠
⁠
Director Kaley Emerson commented that in some ways, Brandon and Clarissa are “complete opposites.” Clarissa is careful about measurements and proportions, while Brandon is happy to throw ingredients in the wok and figure it out along the way. When Clarissa demonstrates a complicated cooking technique, Brandon asks if he could accomplish the same result by licking the dish.⁠
⁠
But Brandon’s style, full of humorous family anecdotes and dancing, turned out to be a natural complement to Clarissa’s meticulously tested recipes and deep knowledge of Taiwanese history and culture. Each dish they create comes with two different interpretations, but also two different sets of personal memories and reflections.⁠
⁠
The hosts’ willingness to embrace imperfection is a harmonious backdrop to sharing stories about Taiwan’s culinary identity. As Clarissa reiterates throughout the show, waves of colonization, natural disasters and other culinary trends have caused Taiwan to develop an incredibly non-linear food history. Much like Taiwan and its politics, the nation’s cuisine is not easily simplified, and takes a certain level of curiosity and patience to understand.⁠
⁠
Episodes 1 and 2 are out now on @taiwanplus and YouTube with weekly drops all summer long!⁠

In celebration of Dragon Boat Festival (端午節) In celebration of Dragon Boat Festival (端午節), Amy Chyan @amychyan shares a beautiful personal essay on how her mother's annual work of making her own zongzi is a love language from mother to daughter, and how the embedded virtues of this labor - patience, endurance - are something they find they both share.⁠
⁠
"Years after my mom became an empty nester, she continued to make zongzi. Recently I asked her why, considering it’s easier to just buy a few at the store, and I didn’t want her hunched over on the tiny plastic stool anymore.⁠
⁠
'I won’t have the energy to make them much longer anyway,' my mom replied.⁠
⁠
That’s when I realized, making zongzi isn’t about saving money or her skills in the kitchen.⁠
⁠
It’s her love language."⁠

Holly-Mei Jones, the earnest preteen protagonist o Holly-Mei Jones, the earnest preteen protagonist of the Holly-Mei trilogy, is a girl worth rooting for. ⁠
⁠
Holly-Mei and her younger sister Millie are uprooted from their hometown in Toronto when their mother is promoted to work in Hong Kong; within weeks, they relocate to a new cosmopolitan city and enroll in an elite, exclusive private school. Eager for new beginnings, Holly-Mei just *knows* that everything is going to be perfect... right? ⁠
⁠
Maybe not. It feels like everywhere she turns, there are new rules to follow and expectations to meet. On top of that, the most popular girl in her grade is quickly becoming a frenemy. And without the guidance of her loving Ah-ma, who stayed behind in Toronto, Holly-Mei just can’t seem to get it right.⁠
⁠
It will take all of Holly-Mei’s determination and sparkle (and maybe even a tiny bit of stubbornness) to get through seventh grade and turn her life in Hong Kong into the ultimate adventure!⁠
