Richard Hartzell has lived in Taiwan for 24 years, and married here ten years ago. He now has a son in elementary school. He points out that locally born Taiwanese can leave the country for 15 or 20 years and still come back without anyone regarding them as anything other than Taiwanese, while foreigners who marry in Taiwan and stay here for years are still seen as outsiders.
