After four years

Raphaël (not this fat cat) around Hong Kong, August 2018

一個月前有一位很久沒見的朋友來了香港一小段時間。雖然他已離港,但接下來的日子我放出來的相會夾雜着不小他的身影。

A month ago, a long-time-no-see friend came to Hong Kong for a short period of time. Although he has already left, in the coming days, you may find him in the photos I posted here.

Nach vier Jahren.
當時Raphaël還問我在影什麼,還有原來車主一早已站在一旁等我⋯⋯ / At that moment Raphaël was asking me what I was shooting and owner of the car was already there and waiting for me...
其實我們相處的時間非常短暫,在德國時真正認識的時間只有三個月而已,但兩次的道別都很傷心。
The time we have spent together is actually very short. In Germany, we had officially known each other for only 3 months. But the 2 goodbyes are sad to me.

Two years ago

很多相都在幾個月後才拿出來。

今次是四個月前拍下的一輯相,當日正懸掛酷熱天氣警告,而我們去了一座禿山行山。很熱,上山時我要不停的休息和喝水 (下山時我通常都喝很小水,甚至不用喝)。

I often show my photos after a few months later.

This time is a set of photos taken from 4 months ago. On that day, it was hoisting a Very Hot Weather warning in Hongkong but we went to a bald mountain (resulted from various fire) for a hike. It was so hot that I needed to rest and drink water frequently when going up (Most of the time I barely drink water when going down).

Sehr heiß.
電塔很好看。/ Power poles are pleasing to my eyes.屯門市中心 / Centre of Tuen Mun很有名的那一部分。/ The renowned part. 第二筒開始。/ The second roll started.下山。/ Going down. 雲的影。/ Shadow of a piece of cloud. 流了很多汗。/ Sweated a lot. 粉紅花 / A pink flower越來越綠。/ Greener.越野電單車的痕跡。/ Trace of off-road motorcycles.
回去市區時,眼前的樓變得越來越大。/ The buildings was becoming bigger when we were heading back to the city.

上次來這座山已是兩年前的事,在這段時間,很多東西都改變了。
The last time I was here is from 2 years ago. In this period of time, many things have changed.

Lu Xun

魯迅《吶喊》--


《自序》:
我在年輕時候也曾經做過許多夢,後來大半忘卻了,但自己也並不以為可惜。所謂回憶者,雖說可以使人歡欣,有時也不免使人寂寞,使精神的絲縷還牽着已逝的寂寞的時光,又有什麼意味呢,而我偏苦於不能全忘卻⋯⋯

 《自序》:
「假如一間鐵屋子,是絕無窗戶而萬難破毀的,裏面有許多熟睡的人們,不久都要悶死了,然而是從昏睡入死滅,並不感到就死的悲哀。現在你大嚷起來,驚起了較為清醒的幾個人,使這不幸的少數者來受無可挽救的苦楚,你倒以為對得起他們麼?」
 「然而幾個人既然起來,你不能說絕沒有毀壞這鐵屋的帶望」 

《故鄉》:
我在朦朧中,眼前展前一片海邊酷綠的沙地來,上面深藍的天空中掛着一輪金黃的圓月。我想:希望是本無所謂有,無所謂無的。這正如地上本沒有路,走的人多了,也便成了路。 

一些有趣的字句,來自一位不太喜歡的作家。

Where I slept with light on

有趣但不是為了有趣。
Not for fun.

Keinen Spaß machen.

Where I had my burnt noodles

我的麵有一陣燒焦味。當時大約是德國的晚餐時間。
My noodles tasted burnt. At that moment, it was around the German dinner time.
