即使我們如同碎片 / Even if we are like fragments

大埔火災之後,經過多於一星期的沉澱,我終於將我的所思、所感,畫成這幅畫。那天,我看着焚燒中的住宅大廈落下眼淚,然後,是一段欲語無言的時期。

我看到很多的報導,看到很多的小故事,眼淚有時候又會跑出來。很多小故事都悲傷而動人:對長者、嬰兒和幼童不離不棄的工人姐姐們、為通知別人而自己趕不及脫險的人們、無懼火場險峻的消防員……

還有火災過後,大家井然有序地伸出援手,這讓我看見我所認識的香港。

然而,不知多少心靈破碎了。我們,請好好地流淚,好好地悲傷。

逛商店時,我看到一個民族手造娃娃,這娃娃好像是源自他們的信念:如果你將你的憂愁告訴他,然後將他放到枕頭下,你的憂愁便會被他帶走了。

我覺得,我們的眼淚就像這個娃娃,眼淚一邊流,淚之精靈便慢慢地把我們的悲傷送走。雖然有些傷痕也許是一生一世的,但眼淚會讓我們此刻紓緩一點點兒。

然後,不知何時,淚之精靈漸漸地退下,換上時間精靈悄無聲息地,也將我們的悲傷偷偷地送走一點點兒。也許,忽然有一天,我們會發現那些承受不了的傷痛,在時間精靈的暗地幫助下,竟然變得承受得了。雖然仍在痛,雖然仍可有淚,但我們能夠眼望前方了。

療癒的道路艱難又漫長,但相信總有天使會在我們的身旁,也許是一聲問候、一份小禮物,或是一個微笑,都讓我們體會到點點滴滴卻滿有能量的愛。

After the Tai Po fire in Hong Kong, following more than a week of precipitation, I finally captured my thoughts and feelings in this painting. That day, I was shedding tears while watching the burning residential buildings on the news. Then it was a period of silence. I didn’t know what to say, but I finally expressed my feelings through painting.

I have seen a lot of reports and short stories, and tears sometimes came out again. Many of the short stories are heartbreaking but touched my soul: the domestic helpers who never leave the elderly, babies and young children, the people who couldn’t get out of danger in time due to informing others, and the firefighters who were so brave to save lives in the fire……

Furthermore, many volunteers went to help in an orderly manner after the fire, which allowed me to see the Hong Kong I knew.

However, many hearts are broken. Please follow our hearts to shed tears and grieve. It’s okay if we’re not okay.

While shopping in the store, I saw an Ethnic style handmade doll: they believe that if you tell him your sorrow and put him under the pillow, he will take your sorrow away.

Our tears are like this doll. As the tears flow, the Elf of Tears slowly sends away our sadness. Although some scars may last a lifetime, tears will relieve us at the moment.

At some point, the Elf of Tears gradually retreated, and the Elf of Time will take its turn quietly, sending away our sorrow as well. Perhaps, one day, we will suddenly find that those pains that we cannot bear have become bearable with the secret help of the Elf of Time. Then, we can look ahead, although it still hurts.

The road to healing is long and difficult, but I believe there will always be angels by our side, whether it is a greeting, a small gift, or a smile, all of which allow us to experience little by little, but full of energy.
