Taste Like Egg Fried Rice

Sijia Li & Mary Emma He

Taste Like Egg Fried Rice is a play focusing on the international student community living in London, delicately portraying the contradictions and struggles young people face in a foreign cultural environment, particularly regarding family expectations, identity, personal freedom, and career dilemmas. Through the warm imagery symbolized by fried rice, the script intricately weaves together personal memories, family bonds, cultural conflicts, and the quest for self.

The main storyline revolves around the protagonist, Annie, as she navigates her studies and work in London, experiences romantic conflicts, job anxiety, and cultural clashes, and gradually finds her own life direction. It showcases the growing pains and spiritual introspection of a generation of overseas students in the context of globalization. The play vividly depicts how young people balance self-identity and societal expectations in a cross-cultural society, exploring their own ways of living and spiritual belonging.
