Synopsis
The film describes a Chinese woman, Yeh Chia-ying, and her legendary life. As a researcher and educator, Professor Yeh is an accomplished poet and essayist as well, blending life and lyricism in a body of work that spans decades. She is the most important female poet in modern Chinese history. Engaging in inquiries with poets from ages gone by, passing down ancient rhymes, living on as the last woman poet of the Republican era (1911-1949)- this is the path Professor Yeh has walked, ever searching for new meanings in old melodies.
