About the Author

Wu Ling-li was born and bred in an old and traditional part of downtown Taipei. She grew up in an extended family of grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles, and then tested her way up the academic ladder to win herself a place at Providence College, where she studied Business Science.

Chris Bates a native of USA, took a Bachelor of Arts degree in Chinese Studies and spent his senior year at Tunghai University in Taichung, Taiwan. Through yuan fen (the principle that the fates of two people are inextricably entwined), Chris and Ling-li met whilst at college in Taichung in 1977. They were married a year later. Their life together has taken them on several tours of the United States (one year each), one tour of Taiwan (six years), and three tours of Singapore (15 years in total). They have worked for Western companies and have certainly endured their share of culture shock.

Much of their time has been spent at the interface of the expatriate and local communities. CultureShock! Taiwan is their first collaborative work.
