Early Taiwanese-Chinese Immigrants in Hong Kong: Social and Cultural Adaptation
早期香港臺灣移民的社會文化適應
Abstracts
Despite burgeoning research on middle-class immigrants to developed countries, early immigrants from newly industrialized countries have not been well studied. This research takes a close look at 48 Taiwanese immigrants who moved to Hong Kong between 1965 and 2002 to study their reasons for immigration, their lived experiences (cultural and social dimensions, and the challenges they encountered), and their sense of belonging (identity, sense of home, and belonging). Absence of statistics required the author to conduct fieldwork to obtain background information and ethnographic data based on face-to-face interviews of immigrants from Taiwan to Hong Kong. Three major categories of immigrants are included in the sample: Taiwanese women married to Hong Kong men, highly skilled Taiwanese who entered Hong Kong with working visas, and those who lived in Hong Kong while conducting business in Mainland China. Difficulties with the local dialect (Cantonese), human relationships (renqingwei, 人情味) and cultural practices form major barriers to their adaptation. Over time, these early immigrants have settled down, developed successful careers, made Hong Kong their home, and contributed to the economic, social and cultural landscape of Hong Kong society, despite vast differences in culture.

既有遷移研究中對於移民至已開發國家的中產階級移民有著大量的討論，而來自新興工業化國家的早期移民卻相對地缺乏關注。在缺乏官方統計資料的前提下，本研究採取質性方法蒐集第一手資料，作者深度訪談了1965-2002年間移居香港的48位臺灣人，目的是瞭解其移民原因、生活經歷（文化與社會層面、所遇到的挑戰），以及認同與歸屬感。訪談對象包括三大類移民：與香港男性結婚的臺灣女性、持工作簽證進入香港的臺灣技術工作者，以及住在香港但於中國內地經商的臺灣人。本研究發現，早期香港臺灣人在適應上的主要困難，包括：語言障礙、缺乏人情味的互動、文化習俗上的差異。儘管如此，隨著時間的流逝，這些早期臺灣移民大多已經在香港安定下來，發展了成功的事業，視香港為自己的家園，並對香港的經濟、社會和文化做出了一定貢獻。
