主題概念
Theme Concept
香港的社會運動發生至今將近4年，受到國安法壓境，各界已經回復到某種表面的平靜，曾經躁動不安的年輕人，不得不若無其事的活著。然而對於本片三位年輕人來說，揮灑過的青春，最終換來期望的幻滅，面對牢獄，面對訣別，面對成長，面對平庸，他們每天都想著，「若，無其事呢？」 香港作家韓麗珠的《回家》寫過：「有時候，人不是因為完好，而是一種深刻的撕裂，才能更好地活下去。唯有那些血肉模糊的傷痕，足以證實我們曾經押上自己，狠狠地交換過甚麼。」在受過傷的大時代，每個殘缺不堪的個體，都在苦思自身的出路，彷彿也在謀求城市的命運。時代洪流推著人走，通往哪裡卻永遠無法知曉......如果我們早知世界會如此狠狠地叫人失望，我們最初還會不會義無反顧，試著改變世界？
The social movement in Hong Kong has been ongoing for nearly four years. Under the pressure of the National Security Law, a semblance of calm has returned to various sectors. The once restless and uneasy youths now have no choice but to live as if nothing has happened. For the three main characters in this story, the youth they once devoted themselves to has ultimately led to the disillusionment of their dreams. Facing imprisonment, farewells, growth, and mediocrity, they wonder every day, "What if everything were just as it seems?" Hong Kong writer Hon Lai Chu wrote in her book"Going Home": "Sometimes, it is not because of being intact, but because of a profound tearing that one can live a better life. Only those blurry scars can prove that we have once put ourselves on the line, fiercely exchanging something." In this wounded era, every broken individual is pondering their own way out, as if they are also plotting the fate of the city. The tide of time pushes people forward, but where it leads can never be known... If we had known that the world would so cruelly disappoint us, would we have still resolutely tried to change it in the beginning?

Story Synopsis
在香港的後社運時代，苦難是不是2019年唯一剩下給年輕人的事情？人們若無其事的生活，他們天天思考，若無這件事、這條罪、這場壓在心頭又難以避過的苦難，他們又會成為一個怎樣的人？當年在參與社運受傷繞過鬼門關的他，或許可以無拘無束地駕著電單車；熱愛旅行拍片的他，可能已經移民；舞台劇演員的她，大概已經和男朋友計劃結婚.......現在一堆罪名，一場牢獄，改變了一代人的人生。2019年的社會運動中，警方共拘捕10,279人，當中約2,899人已經或正在接受法律程序，約八成人被定罪被判處監禁等懲罰，紀錄片《若無其事 A Thousand Winds》將數字還原成人，看他們如何應對，青春的一場試煉。
In the post-social movement era in Hong Kong, is suffering the only thing left for young people since 2019? As ordinary people live their lives as if nothing has happened, they ponder every day: without this incident, this crime, this unbearable burden weighing on their hearts, what kind of person would they become? The young man who narrowly escaped death after being injured during the social movement might now be riding his electric bike without a care in the world; the travel enthusiast who loves filming could have already emigrated; the stage actress might be planning her wedding with her boyfriend... But now, a multitude of charges and a prison sentence have changed an entire generation's life trajectory. During the 2019 social movement in Hong Kong, 10,279 people were arrested by the police, with approximately 2,899 of them either having faced or currently undergoing legal proceedings. Around 80% of them were convicted and sentenced to imprisonment or other punishments. The documentary "A Thousand Winds” transforms these numbers back into human stories, exploring how these individuals cope with this trial of their youth.

Production Summary
這是一個自從2021年開始拍攝的計劃，K是我在《立場新聞》工作時選定製作紀錄片的對象，他受過重傷，後來因三條罪名被判囚6年。2021年12月28日，我約了Pearlmi和他被控暴動罪的男朋友做訪問，然後約定第二天跟拍他拍戲當短片男主角。但是，2021年12月29日《立場新聞》被國安上門搜查，我的上司被捕了，公司也停業了，那一天，我失去了我的攝影機，我的記者證，以及我念茲在茲的理想。 沒有了身份和位置，我還要拍嗎？我該怎樣拍？我可以拍下去嗎？那是我公司結業往後半年活在恐懼和痛苦的反思，看著被拍者一個個因被定罪進到牢獄受刑，我感到內疚，但又因為受了創傷而常常提不起勁拿攝影機出來拍。直到2022年夏天，我遇到Y，他當時因2019年11月18日營救理大的行動被控暴動罪（刑期最高可達十年，通常被判至少四年），和他短暫但真誠的相處，啟動了我想重啟攝影機的慾望，在他被定罪前，我就這樣跟著他和朋友去喝酒、滑浪、上山。他最終被判囚4年以上，在他進去牢獄以後，我才搞得清，自己或許只是想用攝錄機，陪伴這樣被時代放棄的年輕人，而我，其實也是一個這樣的年輕人，這樣的一個香港人。 這個拍攝計劃重啟了，我繼續跟拍著Pearlmi，記她的成長和變化，也側寫時代。拍攝過程裡，使我不斷自省的是，我或許不應該再靠著一班年輕人去替我們做些甚麼，投射甚麼慾望或內疚感，希望有人幫我們令世界變好。這世上唯一可以令世界改變的方法，就是我們親身參與，儘管會失望，會受傷，會氣餒，甚至最終根本無法抵達想去的地方，但是只要有前行，都會離理想中的自己或世界近多一步，只要在路上，終歸有撼動或創造任何事情的機會，就算最終沒有，過程一定有它值得被珍視的美好，就像我繼續拍的這個影片。
This project began in 2021 when I chose K, who was severely injured in the social movement and later sentenced to 6 years in prison for three charges, as the subject of a documentary while working at Stand News. On December 28, 2021, I arranged an interview with Pearlmi and her boyfriend, who was facing riot charges, and planned to film him on set as the lead actor in a short film the following day. However, on December 29, 2021, Stand News was searched by the National Security Department, my boss was arrested, and the company closed down. That day, I lost my camera, my press pass, and my cherished ideals. Without my identity and position, should I continue filming? How should I do it? Can I keep filming? For half a year after the closure of my company, I lived in fear and pain, reflecting on these questions. Watching the subjects of my film being sentenced and imprisoned one by one, I felt guilty but often lacked the energy to pick up my camera again due to the trauma. It wasn't until the summer of 2022 when I met Y, who was facing riot charges for his participation in the rescue operation at PolyU on November 18, 2019 (carrying a maximum sentence of 10 years, with a typical sentence of at least 4 years), that my desire to restart my camera was reignited. Before his conviction, I followed him and his friends as they went drinking, surfing, and hiking. Y was eventually sentenced to more than 4 years in prison. After he was incarcerated, I realized that maybe I just wanted to use my camera to accompany these young people who were abandoned by the times. And I, too, was such a young person, such a Hongkonger. With the project restarted, I continued to follow Pearlmi, documenting her growth and changes, as well as the times. Throughout the filming process, I constantly reflected on the fact that perhaps I shouldn't rely on a group of young people to do something or project my desires and feelings of guilt onto them, hoping that someone will help make the world a better place. The only way to change the world is for us to participate personally, even though it can be disappointing, hurtful, and discouraging, and we might never reach our desired destination. As long as we keep moving forward, we will be one step closer to our ideal selves or the world. As long as we are on the journey, there is always a chance to create or change something. Even if we don't succeed in the end, the process itself has its own beauty worth cherishing, just like the film I continue to make.
