Kat Chen embarks on a research trip to Taiwan, deeply inspired by Taiwanese memoirist Sanmao (Chen Ping). Reading Sanmao's influential works, particularly 'Stories of the Sahara,' prompted Chen to reflect on her identity and relationship with her mother. This journey marks a significant return for Chen to her cultural roots after years of engaging with Western texts. Through Sanmao's adventurous spirit and relatable narratives, Chen seeks to understand her heritage better and explore the generational ties her family shares.
Sanmao's daring adventures and unique voice resonated deeply with me, revealing my own roots and inspiring a personal journey back to Taiwan.
Through Sanmao's writing, I rediscovered the echoes of my mother's experiences, bridging generations of similar yet distinct journeys.
