Liu Boo Lung, also known as Wong Boo Lung (or recorded as Leu Ah Wee), was born on 18 February 1916 in Tong Hor Chuen (village), Sun Wui County, Southern China. During the Japanese invasion, Liu Boo Lung fled Sun Wui with her daughter, Gin (5), her mother-in-law, Chan Shee, and brother-in-law, Wong Fong Sue (15), to New Zealand to join her husband, Norman, and her father-in-law, Wong Chew, at Mangapapa in Gisbourne. In this episode, inspired by her great-grandmother's dramatic journey, Brecon Dobbie performs her critically acclaimed poem Diaspora Overboard for director Lynda Chanwai-Earle (herself a descendent of Chinese refugees).
