People asked me why this photo represents the memories. I don’t know how to answer.
[Insert photos]
Nowadays, Hong Kong changed a lot. The ways she lived on l didn’t remember, and she became the lady with a blurring face. With the face, I cannot read the feelings of her. She is no longer the woman with multiple faces who every expression seizes my heart. She is an object now, or she always as an object during the long trajectory of time.
“Thrilling, billowing”
「湧動著、翻滾著」
I received many selling calls these days, introduced the real estate investment in “The Greater Bay Area”, I shall leave them alone. They didn’t acknowledge the customer mindset, at least the customer like me. I don’t like to hear anything about “The Greater Bay Area”. I just rejected them rudely and hung up the phone, not waiting for him or her to finish the sentence. If speaking of Pearl River Delta, it might be good enough to start a decent conversation.
Pearl River Delta had become a word of nostalgia.
I miss the days spent on the continent but here is a gentle reminder, we shall not look back. That is where the memory comes from: we have the time of the present, and we have the time for now, and then, we might have the future. Memory is the further we may live on.
昨夜殘餘 hangover from yesterday night 即將消散 is about to be sober
徒留 夏令時制中 leave me alone in daylight saving system, calculating time units
被犧牲的間年 years to be isolated, sacrificed 正午陽光的暈眩 and the drizzling of the summertime
輕微地 跳躍著 bouncing gently with lights 光斑點點 晃動 and the shadow is easily moving 從手指間傾灑 pouring through the fingers 逃逸 fleeing from the hand 樟樹汎著一絲肉桂的氣味 camphor trees with a hint of cinnamon 蟬鳴參雜著 the rolling sound of chillers mingled with 製冷外機的滾滾聲響 the chirping of cicadas
