EP10: How I Became More Hong Kong After I Left

The In-Between Mind. by Chiu Ue Wan

Episode notes

What happens to the parts of ourselves we put away when we leave home?

In this episode, I reflect on leaving Hong Kong, rediscovering Cantonese from thousands of miles away, and the memories I once tried to hide. From Emmy the Great’s Hong Kong nostalgia to my own experiences of migration, food, shame and belonging, I explore how distance can help us choose what to carry with us — and how leaving can become part of becoming.
