This story is about how traditional Chinese music travels across time, distance, and migration, carried by the people who choose to keep it alive. Through the stories of two musicians and producer Rosina Lin's own journey as a listener, it explores memory, identity, and what it means to belong. Original scoring by Rosina Lin.

Produced with support from the Braden Storytelling Grant and the Stanford Storytelling Project.
