屋舍上的葉仔花

九重葛，客語唸作葉仔花。
回到老家，雞舍上依舊爬滿歲月沉積的葉仔花，與年少離開時並無二致，那是爺爺生前種下的。隨著時間，家人年華老去，一個家族逐漸走向凋零，我與奶奶學習著客家話，如同翻閱一本遺失的家譜，從他們的話語、過去的相片與斑駁的牆面之間，逐漸拼湊家族與自我的樣貌。

Returning to the ancestral home his grandfather built for the family, the eldest grandson finds no trace of his own childhood. Through the rhythmic cadence of his grandmother’s Hakka, he begins to reclaim his identity—stitching together a family history from old photographs and the stories that survived.
