Abstract Marriage and family are the two main issues that people encounter in modern society. In Taiwan, it is common for women to receive good education in present day. Being treated equally in receiving education as men do, women are getting more independent and are able to support themselves well. In addition, the traditional values of marrying someone with good family background and the responsibility of give birth to a son have increased the difficulty for men of lower level to find a wife in Taiwan. As a result, interracial marriage has been prompted to sharply increase, particularly foreign brides from Southeast Asia. The main purpose of this research is to study the marriage life of foreign brides in Taiwan. The instrument includes: ¡§Questionnaire of Organizing Interview Person to Person.¡¨ The content of the questionnaire includes ¡§the thought of marriage¡¨, ¡§the impression of Taiwan before marriage¡¨, ¡§the present impression of Taiwan as a foreign wife¡¨, ¡§the satisfaction of marriage¡¨, ¡§family life¡¨, ¡§personal background¡¨, ¡§family background¡¨, ¡§the process of getting to know their future husband¡¨, ¡§the part of engagement¡¨, and ¡§foreign brides¡¦ interaction with family back home¡¨. Samples are foreign brides from Eastern Asia (Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia, and Singapore) who also enroll in the Life Counseling Course in Kaohsiung. (Kaohsiung Women¡¦s Club, Min-Chan Elementary School, Shan-Min Elementary School, Shin-Chuan Elementary School, Cheng-Shin Elementary School). 126 questionnaires were collected. 120 out of 126 questionnaires are valuable. The results are as follow: 1. Foreign brides¡¦ ¡§marriage life¡¨ was between normal and satisfaction (M=3.86 on five-point scale). 2. Foreign brides¡¦ ¡§family life¡¨ was between normal and satisfaction (M=3.86 on five-point scale). 3. Foreign brides and their family¡¦s participation in making the marriage decision reflects how much they are in control in the whole marriage process although a marriage is usually greatly decided by the agency and the future husband. 4. Foreign brides¡¦ ¡§marriage life¡¨ is greatly influenced by ¡§their original nationality¡¨, with or without religion belief¡¨, ¡§how they come to Taiwan¡¨. ¡§family income¡¨, ¡§husband¡¦s health¡¨, ¡§the monthly income of the foreign brides.¡¨ 5. Foreign brides¡¦ ¡§family life¡¨ is greatly influenced by ¡§how they come to Taiwan¡¨. ¡§family income¡¨, ¡§husband¡¦s health.¡¨ 6. Foreign brides¡¦ ¡§point of view in marriage¡¨, ¡§their impression about Taiwan before the marriage¡¨, and ¡§their current impression about Taiwan¡¨ are positively correlated with their ¡§marriage life¡¨ and ¡§family life.¡¨ 7. There is a strongly positive correlation between ¡§marriage satisfaction¡¨ and ¡§family life.¡¨ 8. The marriage motivation comes from economic reason. Foreign brides¡¦ poor family background pushes them to marry abroad in order to obtain a better life. The exchange is rational and mutually beneficial to both the foreign brides and the husbands.

This report includes the process of developing and writing the feature length screenplay Derailment, a thriller about Vietnamese mail-order brides murdered in Taiwan. In addition to the evolution of the screenplay, I have offered the summation of my learning experience in the UT screenwriting M.F.A. program / text

The video begins with a black and white wedding photograph from the mid 20th century of an Asian American wedding party with the women in cheongsams and the men in western suits. A male narrator states the importance of the bride. A stain (still in black and white) spreads from bottom of frame rising over the brides face. Color video now shows a tree with a clothesline and a woman hanging a sheet on the line. Asian instrumental music begins. The mother softly describes singing a song to her daughter that her mother sang to her, and then sings the song. A woman folds, tears, or knots a white sheet, intercut with brief flashes of a red stain, while a professional recording of the same children’s rabbit song plays as the lyrics appear in English. Finally the white sheet lies on the table and the red stain appears and spreads across the sheet.
