« Xiao Wei is a personal story, a tribute to the women in my family, to my mother and especially to my grandmother. It is an emotional autobiography, which does not recreate the experiences of my adolescence, but the real feelings I went through. It speaks of me, of that child who has grown up, of loneliness, of isolation, of detachment and uprooting. »
