Description
Lady’s Expectations (also known as Mature Lady’s Funicle) is a sound poetry based on experiments between Chinese Mandarin and Taiwanese Mandarin.
There are various subtle differences between Chinese Mandarin and Taiwanese Mandarin, either for historical reasons or for customary reasons. The artist puts aside the constraints of history and geography, and arranges the vocal poems read by the artist in different pronunciations in the left and right channels to create a unique listening and physical and mental experience, and conducts postulated research and experiments on the ambiguity and interrelation caused by the evolution of the two pronunciations.

作品简介
《淑女的期待》（又名《熟女的脐带》）是一件基于两岸汉语发音实验的声音诗。 中国大陆普通话与台湾国语或因历史原因、或因习俗原因，存在多种细微差异。艺术家抛开历史、地缘的束缚，将他以不同读音读出的人声诗安排在左右声道制造独特聆听和身心体验，对由此二种读音演变所造成的歧义及互涉展开后设性研究与实验。
