Directed by 蔡佳璇
Female migrant workers who left their hometowns to work in Taiwan gave birth to a new life through planning or by accident. And when they became lost migrant workers for various reasons, their children were also taken into invisible corners of society and could not receive institutional protection. The "Care Home" founded by Yang Jieyu has been helping more than 700 migrant workers and children for more than ten years without fear of consequences. Therefore, they all call Yang Jieyu "Mimi", which means mother. Mimi always has a lot to do. Picking up mothers late at night, taking care of children, sewing charity items, communicating with the government, and even delivering babies with her bare hands are her daily routine. Creating this community of shared love and resources in the fringe area, some people were moved by her spirit, while others criticized her for harboring illegal acts. But for her, the spirit of mutual help regardless of you and me is the best art.
