Director’s note

I filmed my great-aunt at her collectible coin and stamp shop in Kwun Tong, one of the most densely populated districts in Hong Kong. Many came from China to this area in the industrial post-war years. My great-aunt has lived and worked, on and off, in this shop for over fifty years. Nowadays, it’s a bustling market street – full of butchers, fishmongers, greengrocers and other busy merchants – whereas trade at my great-aunt’s shop is much…quieter. Happily, this quiet gives her and I time for other things: like reading the newspaper, family and cat visits, neighbourhood gossip, stamps show and tell, and watching the day pass by.

导演手记

我到姨婆在观塘的邮票钱币店去，把她在店内的生活拍成电影，那儿是香港人口最稠密的地区之一，在战后工业化的年代，大量从中国大陆来的人拥到该区，过去五十多年间，姨婆一直断断续续地在店内居住和工作， 到今天， 小店所在已变成繁忙的市集街道——到处是肉店，鱼贩，蔬菜摊档 和其他商店，姨婆的店子就相对冷清多了，幸好，这却让姨婆有闲情和我专注在其他事情上：比方看报纸，招待家人到访和逗弄小猫，与邻居话家常，说说邮票的故事，还有看看店外的光景流逝等等。
