我很高興能夠參與一個關於三代華裔對「家」有不同理解的雙語話劇《Motherland 祖國》！《Motherland 祖國》被選為美國婦女戲劇節中的劇目，七月 16 / 17 / 24日 網上放映，中英字幕，免費收看，隨緣樂助。訂購鏈接 https://tinyurl.com/wtf21tix。

Sometimes, families just don’t click. Motherland is about a Chinese American family videochats across literal and metaphorical distances. A college freshman plans to study abroad in China stir up cultural clashes between her assimilated mother and her grandmother. Meanwhile, her father’s secret struggles threaten if she will be able to go at all.

家家有本難唸的經！《祖國》講述一個美國華人家庭，母女孫三代由於不同的背景和經歷，各人對家庭、責任、教育的見解截然有異，價值觀亦千差萬別。由於孫女要到中國當交換生，即是激起了三人的文化衝突。與此同時，她父親的秘密被發現了，改變了家中所有人的生活。
