Her motley collection of trinkets and knick-knacks was San Mao's treasured time capsule. Memories of encounters in faraway lands infused each piece and provided a permanent record of her every precious, albeit fleeting, relationship. This collection helped keep alive for San Mao her life's highs and lows as well as her own unfolding saga. They were also talismans that helped fuel her ideas, actions, character and expression. Each piece was an integral part of the author's life and experiences. NMTL is pleased to present in this exhibit ten items from San Mao's collection of treasures accompanied by descriptions and stories.
