"Unmoored by memories." Such a beautiful, perfect phrase. You are both such wonderful writers. I just returned to Portland, OR from a four-month stay in Taipei. I, too, find the ongoing project of political liberation extraordinary and profound, with lessons for other countries that might not have as urgent a need to define themselves in terms that reinforce their sovereignty but that still face existential consequences if they don't embark on such a project. I'm thinking of America's need to recalibrate its understanding of itself so as to better achieve its aspiration of being a multiracial democracy. I opened a recent review of a new film about the White Terror with that idea in mind: https://nomanisanis.land/untold-herstory-review/

Thank you for your insights. Reading your work helps me stay feeling connected to Taiwan
