Nüshu is a female-specific writing system, circulated in Jiangyong
County, Hunan Province, China. Women in Jiangyong have been
using nüshu to write biographic laments, make sworn sisters, and
release sentiments of misery. This script has been silently practiced
in this area for many hundred years. In that allegedly dead script
still lives a woman who can write in nüshu – He Yanxin.

"Who am I?", is a simple question that the Taiwanese have never
had an easy answer to. In the past century, the Taiwanese have
fought against foreign ruling, and have continued pursuing
democracy and freedom, seeking truth and justice along the
way, and slowly developing a sense of nationalistic identity.

Through a simulation of pregnancy, we come to learn about
the hard work of mothers raising children. Having the plan to
"raise a child" is a privilege that is not shared by everyone, even
though starting a family seems to be a fundamental right as a
citizen. As a lesbian couple in Taiwan, even if we are willing to
give birth to and raise a child together, we are thwarted by the
lack of protection for the rights and interests of LGBT couples.

In the historically most famous ancestral house of the
matrilineal Amis tribe in Taiwan, the carved pillars tell legends.
After a typhoon toppled the house in 1958, the pillars were
moved to a museum. Recently young villagers, with assistance
from female shamans, pushed the descendants to communicate
with ancestors in the pillars. They eventually brought the
ancestral souls back and began reconstructing the house.

occurs in everyday life?

Eternal return may exist in our soul, which wonders on earth in
infinity. It may surround our mind, life in our subconsciousness,
or fade in and out our dreams. However, the disruption will not
fade away eternally, but is oppressed under surface, and exists
in another representation. It is just we fail to be aware, and we
accept the eternal return without opposition.
