My great grand father immigrated to Taiwan at the age of 9 with his elder relatives from Fujian province of China. My great grand mother seated in the middle in the picture was widowed at around 65. My grandfather and grandmother had two sons. My father with a hat is the younger one. The other taller young man is my uncle who emigrated to Japan during the world II.My grandfather was a carpenter. He was quite successful in his career because during his peak time in the furniture manufacturing business, there were over 10 carpenters working for him.
I am the 4th generation of Chen family after this branch has immigrated to Taiwan. Then on the 12th of September 1992, I brought my own family of 4, together with my mother, to Auckland of New Zealand.

I was wondering if your great grandfather talked about fighting the natives, and having to go through high waters. My grandfather talked about this and was married more than once. Would be interesting to see if it is the same grandparent.
