In 1986, Yang Jieyu founded the Care Home, which has served more than 700 migrant children in the past 13 years. Everyone calls her Mimi, which means mother. Mimi always has a lot to do, picking up and dropping off mothers late at night, taking care of children, sewing charity goods, communicating with external units, and even delivering babies with her bare hands. People who leave their hometowns to work in Taiwan have given birth to new lives, but many times, pregnant migrant mothers are not necessarily blessed, but are seen as a mistake. When mothers become missing migrant workers for various reasons, children are also brought into the invisible corners of society. When these invisible children were not yet able to enjoy their rights, Mimi was not afraid of the consequences to reach out to help, because she believed that there were no conditions for humanitarian assistance. Some people were moved by her spirit, while others criticized her for harboring illegality. Mimi creates this community of shared love and resources on the edge, which is an aesthetic for her, and art needs a space to roam freely. However, can that utopia, which does not distinguish between you and me, only exist in Mimi's ideals? In this class, Sister Yang and CEO Wang Dehui were invited to talk about this middle ground between illegal work and humanitarian relief.
