那年之後
Since that YEAR...
一息尚存，希望不滅
⼤時代下離散⼩孩的⾹港故事
A message of hope for the children of Hongkongers who chose to leave
「媽咪，點解我哋要離開香港呀？」
＜那年之後＞是透過一名女孩和父親的對話，講述2019年在香港發生的事情，以及離開香港的故事。這本繪本乃中英雙語版，非常適合家有3-9歲孩子的家庭一起閱讀。
Elpis說：「寫＜那年之後＞呢本書係希望⽗⺟能以這繪本向孩⼦解說離別的掙扎與⼼聲；孩⼦於展開新⽣活的同時，不忘記故鄉⾹港。」
「故事入面的片段好多都係真實出現過的，如我地一齊喺隧道睇連儂牆，離開香港嗰日個小朋友問有無回程機票。」
「好開心呢本書得到末代港督彭定康勛爵的祝福，亦好多謝沈旭暉教授及梁永善牧師幫我地寫序。」
"Mommy, why do we have to leave Hong Kong?"
"Since that YEAR" is a heartwarming story of a family's struggle to leave Hong Kong and their daughter's journey to understand why. Through the eyes of the main character, readers will learn about what happened in Hong Kong in 2019, and the different emotions that come with leaving behind everything you know and love to start a new life in a foreign country. This beautifully illustrated book is perfect for children aged 3-9 who are leaving Hong Kong after 2019.
Elpis: "In writing this book, I wanted parents to be able to explain the struggles and emotions of leaving home to their children. I hope this book will help children understand their own experiences of leaving home and hold on to their identity as Hongkongers. It's a story of hope and resilience in the face of difficult times.”
"The story is based on real-life events that my family and I experienced, such as visiting the Lennon Wall, smelling the tear gas."
"I'm thrilled that this book has received the blessings of the last Governor of Hong Kong, Sir Lord Chris Patten, and that Professor Simon Shum and Reverend Leung have written FOREWORD for us.”
「少⼩離家⽼⼤回
離別從來不易。2019年後離散港⼈中不少是⼩孩⼦，於他們眼中是如何看那些難以理解，顛倒⿊⽩的社會事件？⼜該如何述說他們的離別故事？
願，這繪本記載⼤時代下⼩孩⼦的⾹港故事；
願，⽗⺟能以這繪本向孩⼦解說離別的掙扎與⼼聲；
願，孩⼦於展開新⽣活的同時，不忘記故鄉⾹港；
願，這繪本成為孩⼦延續港⼈⾝分的點點憑據。
自2019年後，⾹港已相⾒不相識，
但⾹港⼈在那裡，那裡就是⾹港。
盼望一天真⾹港我城⾒。
Separation and Reunion:
An Introduction
Separation is never easy. After 2019, many Hongkongers left Hong Kong. Many of them children. How will those children interpret the unimaginable events of those days? The propaganda that distorted facts? How will those children tell the stories of why they left Hong Kong?
We want this picture book to be a record of what happened in Hong Kong for those children, the children who grew up in those times;
Our hope is to provide parents with a picture book that can help explain their struggle with separation;
We don’t want our children to forget that their family roots are in Hong Kong even though they now live somewhere else;
Our hope is that this picture book will be proof of the Hong Kong heritage that exists even in children who were taken from Hong Kong when they were too young to remember.
Since that year, 2019, Hong Kong has changed so much. Those who left may not recognize it anymore.
Yet wherever Hongkongers live, that is where Hong Kong is.
We long to reunite in our Hong Kong homeland one day.
