About this person
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.
