A single bowl of rice, a gourd of water—each carries the weight of longing. This year marks Taiwan food blogger Rao Mengzhe's eleventh year exploring the Chinese mainland. From nostalgic street stalls to bustling old streets, he traces the shared roots of both shores through his palate. Evolving from an explorer before the lens to a conversationalist behind the screen, he bridges emotional resonance between both sides of the Taiwan Strait with every step. As letters gently arrive, words become face-to-face encounters, ensuring every longing reaches its destination.
