Description:
A gentle breeze drifts into the worn old study, and the image of my parents writing together comes vividly to mind. The three Chu sisters pull out photo albums and notebooks, and through a daughter's intimate gaze we see the novelist Chu Hsi-Ning and the translator Liu Mu-Sha. Diaries from their arrival in Taiwan, yellowed old photographs, the small details of daily life—together they sketch a private history of Taiwanese literature unknown to outsiders. Each classic work unearths deeper memories: the royalties from "Iron Slag" bought a refrigerator, "Notes on August 23" became scrap paper for household accounts, and the unfinished posthumous work "The Family Chronicle of Hua Tai-Ping" became the Chu family's greatest unfulfilled wish. Show more Tien-Wen directs for the first time, using images to write the life journeys of two representatives of Taiwan's literary world. Visiting old residences in Taiwan, traveling far to China to see relatives, the rich family archives and intimate conversations with friends and kin—literary giants appear at every turn. In the dual identity of writer and daughter, the literary inheritance spans three generations, layering the era's shadows onto the literary Chu family.
