靈感源於生活,生活激發創意。從小愛看、愛聽、愛畫,偏不愛寫,但隨著閱讀更多、閱歷更深,心知總不能只畫不寫,於是嘗試用擅長的繪畫加上簡單的文字,把內心的小小聲音記下來,讓心靈來一次動盪的旅程。
Life inspires creativity. I love reading, listening to music and painting, but not writing, since my childhood. However, the more I read about the world, the more I realise the power of words. Therefore, I try to invite readers to my little world with simple words together with paintings which I am so into. I hope in reading this debut e-book of mine, you would find yourself in a journey of fantasy in which you may hear the little voice down inside my heart, and which would vibrate your mind with stream of feelings.
2010年,「80後」成為大家熱烈討論的對象。對於80後,大家看法各有不同,但無論怎樣,我們確是幸福的一群──沒遭遇大災難,吃得飽,穿得好;能生活在香港這個擁抱自由、受上天眷顧的城市,更是幸福。
In the year of 2010, "80's" becomes a hot topic in the city. There are diverse opinions about the "80's". No matter what, we are a group of youths who are born with joy and bliss - no natural disaster, no famine, no worry. To be born in Hong Kong where freedom is embraced, we are destined for bless.
一次晚飯,母親說自己生不逢時,她說:要是我出生在這個世代,成就便不止於此。當時的我就只直接的想到,假如母親出生在這個世代,那便遇不到父親,那便沒有我。生不逢時,或許人人都曾經這樣想過。生活於現在的人或許會想,要是出生在一百年前,電腦便可能由我發明,總之成就一定非凡;相反,過去的人卻認為現今的人太幸福了,科技發達,上網能知天下事,亦再無憂柴憂米的日子。因此我和您,正是在享受前人所留下來的福祉,同時也在接收前人所留下來的後果。
One night, mommy said she was born at the wrong time. She believed that she would have had greater achievements if she were born in this era. Spontaneously I thought, if mummy were born this generation, she would not have met my father, nor would I have existed in this world. Perhaps all of us have thought about being untimely born - an IT lover might think that he/she would have been the father of computer if he/she were born a hundred years ago and thus would have become a distinguished idol. On the contrary, people in the past might think that the generation today is too lucky that they may know about the world by only one click or two on the Internet; they even do not need to worry about their life. You and me today are enjoying the benefits made by our predecessors; but at the same time, we are also suffering the consequences caused by them.
