‘I Am From Matsu!’ — It’s So Much More Than Its Military Past (ft. Eva Tsao) | #InTaiwanWeSpeak

“I am from Matsu (我是馬祖儂),” declares our guest, taking us on a journey through her island home, its unique dialect, and an identity shaped by both distance and history.Educator and YouTuber Eva Tsao (曹辰瑩) didn’t grow up speaking Matsu — but learning it changed her life. Today, she teaches the language and runs Chami’s Store (掐米亞店), a YouTube channel full of stories and voices from the islands. We talk heritage, humour, and why Matsu is so much more than its military past.Find #InTaiwanWeSpeak on: 🎧 Your podcasts 🎙️ YouTubeFor engaging updates and video snippets, follow us on: 📸 Social channelsCome back for new episodes every Tuesday at 21:00 (Taipei, GMT+8).
