他的妻子逝去大約一年半 His wife died a year and a half ago.
他的妻子並非自然死 She did not die naturally.
而是...其實跳樓死 She chose to end her life by committing suicide.
因為伯伯始終具有人生經歷 Having experienced peaks and valleys in his life,
其實他也知道人終究也會逝去的 the old man realizes people will die one day.
但他卻經常重複一個問題 But he can't help asking a simple question,
為甚麼她要這樣死去 “Why she chose to commit suicide?”.
我覺得他十分執著於「為甚麼」 I think he is obsessed in such a question, and cannot let go.
他放不開 妻子選擇這種逝去的方法 Therefore, he cannot let go.
其後我們問他關於他妻子的事 When we asked him about his wife,
其實...也看得出他仍很想念她 we could feel that he missed her a lot.
因為他跟我們分享 He said
他現在也會經常夢見他的妻子 he still dreamed of her all day.
當中 你能感受他那種「痛」 You can really feel the pain he suffers.
因為本身生命...對生命... Life is…
生離死別 大家也會遇到 Our beloved ones will eventually die and we will all face that.
又或大家可能已遇到 Or maybe some of us have already experienced,
雖然大家仍很年輕 although we are still young.
但我們希望帶出一個訊息 We hope everyone can bear in mind the message inside this picture book,
雖然是老生常談 though it is an old saying,
然而珍惜我們擁有的時間 treasure our time
珍惜我們如今擁有的親朋戚友 and treasure our family and friends.
也是一件十分重要的事 These are very important.
說回這個故事 Back to the picture book,
其實也是主要講述他們對生命的看法 It's about people's attitudes towards life.
我們有兩位受訪人士 There are two interviewees.
一位是剛剛失去妻子的伯伯 One is an old man whose wife has just passed away,
另一位是他本人剛經歷了生死的年輕人 another one is a youngster, Lorry, who has just overcome a serious illness.
他們兩個人的故事 In the picture book, their stories
是兩個獨立平行發展的故事 develop independently yet in parallel.
上面是伯伯的故事 The old man’s story is on the above,
下面則是年輕人Lorry的故事 while Lorry's story lies at the bottom.
