Kollyan’s hometown is in Cambodia. Every time she misses her mother, she has to leave her family in Taiwan, in order to reunite with her parents. Sally’s parents are no longer around, but whenever she follows her mother’s steps based on her memory, she feels as though she has returned to her mother’s side. As for me, who has never experienced the pain of migration, an encounter of an identity mix-up at a foreign country’s immigration checkpoint causing me to be identified as someone else, made me constantly wonder “Who am I?” ever since.
