Abstract

Transnational marriage migration is an important global phenomenon, yet each marriage remains an intimate, personal, and life-shaping event. This article traces the life of a family in rural northeast China that has developed global connections through marriage. In particular, it focuses on the story of a Chinese husband and his Vietnamese wife, which provides insight into the expansion of marriage migrations to and from China over the last decade. The article analyzes how different streams of marriage migrations are linked, specifically the flow of wives from China to Japan and South Korea, and from Vietnam to Taiwan, South Korea, and China. These flows are interconnected in many ways, including through personal networks, brokerage, remittances, and flows of information. Such interconnections in turn exemplify how apparently independent and unrelated migration flows may present multilayered connections of migration factors, diversification, and increasing complexity of migration experiences.
《一个全球家庭的故事:亚洲不同婚姻移民流的转变与联系
跨国婚姻移民是一个重要的全球现象,但每一次婚姻都是亲密的、个人的、塑造人生的事件。这篇文章追溯了中国东北农村一个家庭的生活,他们通过婚姻建立了全球联系。该书特别关注的是一位中国丈夫和他的越南妻子的故事,这让人们深入了解了过去十年来中国婚姻移民的扩大。本文分析了不同的婚姻移民流是如何联系在一起的,特别是从中国到日本和韩国,从越南到台湾、韩国和中国的妻子流动。这些流动以许多方式相互联系,包括通过个人网络、经纪、汇款和信息流。这种相互联系反过来又说明了明显独立和不相关的迁移流动如何呈现出迁移因素、多样化和迁移经验日益复杂的多层联系。
