This collection is based on the oral history of Mei Lan Hsiao, which is documented through interviews. Mei Lan grew up with her six-year-old younger brother in Taiwan. She was the child of Chinese migrants who fled their homeland in 1949. Mei Lan got a job at the fashion house Christian Dior and met a Belgian man at a conference. She later migrated to Belgium in 1991 to settle near Antwerp. Her transnational bonds are expressed through her practice of Chinese tea ceremonies.
