Prompt
Convert supplied memories into an archive entry with attribution, date certainty and regional context. Input: use only the notes at the end. If a fact this job needs is missing, ask one direct question and do not guess. Format for Lunar New Year family archive: 1. Leave unknowns explicit and obtain consent for public use. Do not add facts, names, dates, numbers or sources that are not in the notes. Notes: Archive entry FA-19. Speaker: Mei-Ling Cho. Recorded by her niece Estelle Cho on 8 February 2025 in Oakland. Regional context she gave: she grew up in Taichung and described a meal her mother cooked before the family moved. Date certainty: she stated the move year as 1978. She did not give a lunar day. She said only "around the new year". The exact date is unknown. What she described: a whole fish, a tangerine on the table, and a visit from an uncle. She did not name the uncle. She was unsure whether the fish was steamed or fried. Those gaps stay blank. Consent: Estelle holds a private-family release only. Posting to the library oral-history site is not allowed until Mei-Ling signs the separate public-use form.
