這是一個肢體與世界的對話，從香港跨過來臺南，再從臺南呼喊回去香港，抗爭是真的，渺小卻也是事實，但願我們都能透過海的連結、地景的延伸，再次用我們的肢體，舞出我們的心裡話。
“Are we unable to go back?” This was my biggest feeling when I was shooting. This work was produced in Hong Kong and Tainan. From the Umbrella Movement in 2014 to the anti-extradition ordinance movement in Hong Kong in 2019 until now, Hong Kong people are fighting for their rights and freedoms and will never look back. Born and raised in Hong Kong, I bid farewell to the place where I lived for more than 40 years and settled in Tainan in 2019. My wife was born and raised in Tainan. She left her hometown to study and work in Hong Kong at the age of 19. After living in Hong Kong for more than 20 years, she followed me back to her hometown to live. We looked back at the other side, and the feeling filled our hearts again. In 2020, I created this work in the form of dance film.
