Call me Jie Ke: That was the name given to me when I applied for my JFRV, or "Joining Family Resident Visa". I'm a foreign-born "son-inlaw of Taiwan" in the local parlance, living in and writing from a rural village in Kaohsiung County. My primary audience is my family and friends, most of whom have no experience of Taiwan or Chinese culture. Some names have been changed, usually as a condition of participation in this project.
