Despite their geopolitical differences (Taiwan, China, and Hong Kong), they share a common goal of exploring and exposing the power struggles and complex dynamics within a family, which they refer to as 'dinner-table politics'. They unite to reveal their shared experiences of patriarchal family roles and to address the impact of gendered and hierarchical family roles in Asian patriarchal cultures on identity formation and family values.
