在近代历史的很长一段时间里，潮州地区多达一半的人口依赖海外家庭成员的汇款。潮州书信为隔海相望的亲人提供了重要的情感纽带，成为整个潮州社区的经济命脉。单独地，每封信都记录了一个家庭的回忆。数以万计的潮州书信共同代表了一个民族的集体意识和珍贵的文献档案。
这种独特的汇款和通信组合被称为潮州信（普通话中的“侨批”）。

For a long period in recent history, as many as half of the population in the Teochew region was dependent on the remittances from their overseas-based family members. The Teochew Letters provided a vital emotional link for love ones separated by the sea and served as an economic lifeline for the whole Teochew community. Individually, each letter records the memories of a family. Collectively, the tens of thousands of Teochew Letters represent the collective consciousness of a people and a precious documentary archive.This unique combination of remittance and correspondence is known as the Teochew Letters ("Qiaopi" in Mandarin).

我整理了我家的侨批，这是二十世纪中期的书信，寄信人是我外祖父的父亲。在这个特定的书信网络中研究侨报封面上的风景侨封，作为拓荒者和故乡的家庭之间的情感桥梁。
I compile my family's Qiaopi, which are correspondences from the mid-twentieth century, examining landscape seal on the Qiaopi's cover within this specific network of letters as an emotional bridge between pioneer and homeland‘s family. All these letters came from my grandfather‘s father.

照片中的人都是我祖父和祖母的父母、兄弟和亲属。
我收集了一张我的女性祖先的照片，她在同一张底片上同时扮演着女性身份和男性角色，使用了双重曝光法。我打算通过家庭照片的视觉语言来研究文化身份、女性身份和历史。在这个项目中，我的视觉实践的媒介将包括图片、装置、文本和出版物。
