00:00I just sometimes want to be alone where I'm not somebody's wife not somebody's mother

00:06I'm not defined by tragedy

00:09I've spent my whole life being a Chinese immigrant

00:12But I realized now when I went back to Hong Kong to work on this series or when I travel other places

00:18I'm also an American expat

00:21Hong Kong was supposed to be a fresh start for me

00:23It really got me thinking about these two terms immigrant expat and all of the other people who live outside of their homes

00:31And why they leave and why they live in those places

00:35Any person has multiple identities and how you meet that person when you meet that person colors how you see them

00:40And I feel that stories are the same that so much is about perspective and I wanted to create two

00:47Entryways so that there could be a conversation depending on which episode people see first

00:52They might see the whole series very differently

00:59The scope of what this show was I really felt like I could call myself a director, you know

01:16I

01:17Brought all of my creative heads from the farewell

01:21We all work together on that film and then came on to this

01:24Was that we just wanted to keep the spirit that we have and our style

01:29We didn't want to lose the way that we tell stories simply because the conditions were different

01:36What I hope that people take away from this series is

01:42a

01:44Sense of compassion and grace every story

01:47there are multiple sides and we all need to talk to each other more and that we have to come to the table in

01:55person and

01:57Break bread and just try to speak to each other and listen to each other

02:03and

02:05Be open to forgiveness and grace

02:14You
