Daily exercise

The wounds were covered by the screams at the top of our lungs. We returned to our daily lives, pretending that everything was still fine. As the sudden cold tide dissipated, our focus faded and we gradually fell apart, becoming sad and angry.

The ten novels in "Everyday Movement" depict the spiritual foundation of Hong Kong's collective life in 2019. Through the lens of movement and its aftermath, they chart the soul of an entire generation, capturing its hopes, disappointments, and despair.

In the pursuit of democracy and freedom, both those involved and those who are bystanders will inevitably suffer harm.

It's not just the marks left by physical resistance to violence, nor is it the pain of oppression. It's the subtle conflicts and contradictions between fellow travelers that gradually accumulate into individual anger, disappointment, guilt, and powerlessness, permeating their daily lives.

Therefore, beneath the passionate slogans, we still need to ask how every individual with different backgrounds, identities, classes, and genders are erased and sacrificed in the movement.

Silence follows state-sponsored violence, and an atmosphere of terror permeates the air.
It is Hong Kong and it is also Taiwan.
It is after pain, self-doubt, and despair.
Still searching for the way forward.
