description: "Yu Lihua was a Taiwanese writer who wrote over thirty works—including novels, short stories, newspaper articles and translations—over sixty years. She is regarded as \"one of the five most influential Chinese-born women writers of the postwar era and the progenitor of the Chinese students' overseas genre.\" She wrote primarily in Chinese, drawing on her experience as a Chinese émigré in postwar America. She was celebrated in the diaspora for giving voice to what she called the \"rootless generation\"—émigrés who had left for a better life but remained nostalgic for their homeland."
