Letter from the creator
來自創作者的信
贈給上代和下代的香港人：
「如果給懷舊一個價值，這價值就是溫故舊而策未來。
歷史從來不能割斷，陳跡未必就是老套。」
聽舊時的故事，畫舊日的地圖。
讓畫作整存著，載滿上一代集體回憶的樂園；
讓畫作流傳著，告訴下一代消失於市的樂場。
有情懷的人，看懂了，然後尋覓尋覓……
來自第五代香港人的回禮——荔園憶記圖
To the past and future generations of Hong Kongers,
"If nostalgia is given a value, it resides in revisiting the past to inspire the future.
History is an unbroken thread, and old traces do not equate to being outdated."
Listening to the stories of yore, sketching maps of yesteryears.
Let the artworks preserve the cherished memories of the previous generation,
and passing on to the next generation of this demolished park.
Those with sentiment understand, and then seek and search...
A return gift from the fifth generation of Hong Kongers - The Memoir of Lai Yuen.
