Baihua Baise

Synopsis

Grown-ups have always told Yu-Fan that a girl should act like a girl: learn the piano, be quiet and dignified rather than noisy and rough, and wear skirts. Under pressure from their mother and grandmother, Yu-Fan has no choice but to hide who they really are and dress up as the girl they want them to be. This story deals with the evolution of Yu-Fan through their quest for identity and acceptance, but also the evolution of their family and Taiwanese society, culminating in the legalization of universal marriage in 2019.
