AFTER PAPA, IT IS TIME FOR DINNER WITH YOUR PARENTS FOR THE AGED ONES AND THOSE WHO WILL AGE

Years ago, on the first day of school, he sent his boy off into the classroom. The child cried his lungs out, as he turned away firmly hiding tears rolling down his cheek. Today, his son and daughter-in-law hand-in-hand, together with him, as they arrived at the elderly’s home. He looked at them longingly; as they turned away firmly with a sigh of relief.

It is about old and young; forgetting and remembering; encounter and departure; it is about Hong Kong and home; it is about you and me.
獻給每一位已經或是將會老去的人時針無論是慢是懶，經他巧手一推還是隨著時代巨輪走。他臥身老唐樓下的角落梯底舖，大半輩子靠著維修手錶，把孩子撫育成人。當年孩子第一天上學，看著孩子在校門口盯著他哭得撕心裂肺，他深吸口氣鎮定回頭，強忍心底的眼淚。
誰又知道今天，孩子正式把他送到養老院。他在門口看著孩子輕巧轉身，呼出一片輕鬆。
