Thank You for Viewing
郷愁 （Kyosyu) – longing for home
After exploring some of the photos, stories and documents, please reflect on the following:
Think of a time you and/or your family left home, how was that for you/them?
Did you “adopt a home” or settle somewhere or was your time away brief?
What Others Have Said
-
Sadly I don’t feel I did feel at home, because my parents did not freely choose to live where they ended up and my mother despaired of where we lived. (Lived in pre-war B.C. – forced to move to Eastern Canada). I felt more at home at school, outside of our neighbourhood.
-
I fear the possibility of wildfires like last year. Scary to see how quickly people had to pack up stuff and move to another place temporarily and worry if there would be anything left.
