台湾的印尼客家新娘——海外客家人的社会变迁之二

The Social Change of Overseas Hakkas:Indonesian Hakka Brides in Taiwan

客家人常说"人往高处走,水往低处流",这句俗语也许可以用来解释客家人为什么喜欢不断地迁徙。客家人到了海外之后,还会不断地迁徙,促使他们不断地迁徙的原因固然很多,追求更加美好的生活应该是其中最重要的动因。在目前的台湾,有大量的印尼客家新娘,她们为什么要像父辈那样,再一次跋山涉水,移民台湾?她们追求什么?她们在台湾的生活状况如何?

There is an old saying in Hakka culture ： ＂Water flows downwards, while Feople struggle upwards. This saying may be used to explain why Hakkas loved constant migration. The factors for their continual migration can be various, however the pursuit for a better life should be one of the most important reasons. At present, there are a large number of Indonesian Hakka brides in Taiwan. Why they migrated like their elder generations to Taiwan even through various difficulties？ What do they pursue for？ And how are their life conditions in Taiwan？
