Notes

General Note:
“My mother gave me a pouch of earth from our garden in Taipei, a tiny bottle of water and a gourd. She told me to pour the water into the well of my new home and sprinkle the earth around my garden. That way I wouldn’t have any problems acclimatizing to my new environment. The gourd was meant to protect me from illnesses.”
General Note:
The "British or Chinese? Stories of Migration, Family and Identity" exhibition hosted by the SOAS China Institute from 23-27 May 2017 at the China Exchange in London.
