  • 《忘了我记得》Forget You Not |

    你有走丢过吗?你弄丢过什么呢?我们不断地往外看。一不小心,松开了一位一直会紧握我们的手。再回头时,才发现,我们好像失去了什么。究竟,我们遗失的是走丢的自己,还是迷路的他们呢?

    Have you gotten lost? Have you lost anything? We keep looking outward. Without realising it, we’ve let go of the hand that always held us. When we look back, we realise that we’ve lost something. After all, did we lose our lost selves, or those who have lost their way?

    小时候总是觉得时间很多。恨不得快点长大。但不知道从什么时间开始突然觉得时间好像再也不够用了。佳云说自从她有了孩子之后,时间好像不够用了。苏菲说自从她的猫六岁生日之后,时间好像不够用了。那我呢?我从来不觉得我爸爸会变老。但那天,我看到他的背影,我忘了,人都是一瞬间变老的。

    As kids, we felt like we had so much time. We couldn’t wait to grow up. But at some point, it suddenly feels like time is running out.

But that day, I saw his back, and I realised, people just age in an instant.
