Hearts in Taiwan
Annie Wang and Angela Yu
As kids of immigrants from Taiwan, our Asian identity started with beef noodle soup and ended with Chinese school.

Cousins Annie Wang and Angela Yu share their journey as they discover their family’s heritage and celebrate Taiwanese culture in the context of the Asian American experience.
