GUEIFEI

A story about Taiwanese girls in the 1950s and 1960s.

This is the story of “Gueifei”, a mixed-race illegitimate child, in 1960s Taiwan. Born in a prominent Taiwanese family, Gueifei’s mother was expelled from home because of her pregnancy out of wedlock. After giving birth to Gueifei, she married FENG, a soldier from mainland China. Since Gueifei suffered from congenital heart disease, Gueifei’s mother once promised Mr. NAKAMURA, a Japanese businessman who saved Gueifei from the disease, that if Gueifei could live to 20 years old, she would let Gueifei marry him. “Father” is a common issue in the fate of the mother and daughter. It is also a topic about the survival of women in Taiwan’s traditional culture and patriarchal era.
