Writing in the Rain describes my memory of my Chinese name which in 1966 had to be changed into an Indonesian name because of the discriminatory political policies against Chinese people by the Soeharto regime. In 1998, Soeharto stepped down from his presidential throne and a huge wave of change occurred in Indonesia. President Abdurrahman Wahid in 2002 made several regulations that allowed Chinese people to carry out cultural and religious activities that were previously prohibited. Likewise, the use and education of Chinese language was restored. At this time I was recalling my Chinese name but over time, after more than 35 years, I already exist under my Indonesian name. Therefore, the memory of my Chinese name is only a remembrance, like rains continuously erasing the name I want to write down.
