One Tree Three Lives: Hualing Nieh Engle
Director/Producer Angie Chen
Scorpio Films, 2012
http://www.onetreethreelives.com/


 
Tree Three Lives – an intimate film on the novelist Hualing Nieh Engle,
who has been a major influence on generations of writers in the Chinese
Diaspora, and beyond. The director has known the author and her family
since the Seventies. At times sad, at times funny, the film reveals a
woman of unusual charisma, integrity and determination, and a person inFor
continual exile. Interviews with 26 writers present a lively variety of
views and anecdotes.

Hualing Nieh Engle calls herself a tree, with roots in China, the trunk in
Taiwan, and the many leaves in Iowa, USA. Born and raised in wartime
China, she left Wuhan in 1949 for peace in Taipei, and then left for love
in 1964 to the United States. She is the author of 24 books of fiction and
non-fiction, which have been translated into various languages. She also
initiated the International Writing Program in Iowa, USA – a
world-renowned platform for writers since 1967. The co-founder was her now
deceased husband, the poet Paul Engle. One Tree Three Lives is also their
love story, a novelist and poet who created a strong and visible love.
