One grandmother was a mainlander who originally hailed from Shantou in Guangdong Province. In If You Had Called Me, four leading women characters are supposed to talk about their childhood hometowns in their native dialects, but this one grandmother refused for four years to go on stage and say in the Shantou dialect: "I am [so-and-so]. I was 17 when I fled Shanghai for Taiwan."
有位阿嬤是原籍廣東汕頭的外省人，在〈如果你叫我〉的演出中，4 位女主角必須說自己的家鄉話，但這位阿嬤始終不說汕頭話，為了一句「我是 xxx，17 歲從上海逃難到台灣」，她ㄍㄧㄥ了 4 年。
