My Root-Seeking Journey 2025: China & Taiwan

My Root-Seeking Journey 2025: China & Taiwan

From Jan-April 2025, I embarked on a three-month journey to China & Taiwan, the land of my ancestors. As a German-born Chinese, my life revolves around the topics of home, identity & belonging. ‘Who am I?’ has been a question I have been asking myself my whole life. I invite you on this journey with me into a multi-dimensional exploration of Self, family dynamics, opposing beliefs & richness of different cultures.

this will be an ongoing series documenting my journey
