Why is it that so many of the Indian restaurants in Taiwan are owned and operated by Hakka people?
According to Encyclopedia Britannica, Hakka people are enthusiastic hard workers. Is this really true?
Did you know that there are Hakka people amongst the Jamaican population of Canada?
From Guest to Host, this talk will break through the stereotypes of the Hakka people. Vivian Chang will take us on a journey from the women of Hakka, the lives of contemporary Hakka, and the Hakka of the world. Through mountain songs, traditional proverbs, literary works, and films from the missionaries that arrived in Taiwan during the Cold War, Chang navigates the truth within the impressions of Hakka women in other people's eyes. Come one come all, be our guest and let’s visit the contemporary Hakka people scattered around the world!
Vivian Chang grew up in the Hakka village of Douhuanping, in the city of Toufen, Miaoli. She has worked as a reporter for many daily newspapers in Taiwan and also as a television producer. Currently, she is a director at the Taiwan Central News Agency, a director of the Hakka Public Communication Foundation, and a reportage writer. As a student, she was deeply influenced by social movements, which inspired her lifelong interest in the two fields of Hakka, and women. She has long been concerned about women's rights, ethnic groups, and family memory.
Her book Taiwanese Hakka Women uses sociological theory to explore the image of Hakka women constructed by Hakka literature, told from the female perspective. Her other book Taiping 1949 tells the tale of her mother, who took the fated ship Taiping to escape to Taiwan during the war—from a rich Shanghai heiress to a daughter-in-law of a Hakka family in Miaoli.
2024 希望講堂除了呈現在移入與移出之間,人們對於異文化如何吸取、轉換、再創造,也希望藉此為加拿大社會帶來轉動的刺激。

多倫多台灣文化節非常感謝能夠在眾多原住民族代代相傳且未曾退讓的土地上發生,其中包含密西沙加紐魁迪特族、阿尼什纳比族、齊佩瓦族、豪德諾索尼族、溫達特族。此地現在也是許多第一民族、因紐特人和梅蒂斯人共同的家園。原住民族對土地的守護使眾人有幸能於此聚集,我們為此感激並將致力於與這片土地上的原住民在尊重其表述的基礎上共同合作,實踐富有意義的文化對話及和解工程。
