導演闡述
Director’s Words

2016年，阿嫲走了。2019年，《團團圓》完成。2026年的今日，回看2021年豆瓣網友 RYZ 的短評：「某老師話：目前長度為最佳版本。然而所謂的簡潔帶來與創作者年齡不相符的老練，如過場戲般的逝後追憶，是否真能讓觀眾感受到人文關懷呢？」

嗯，人文關懷…… 多年以後，從20多歲跨入30多歲的我仍想不出該怎樣回應 RYZ 這一提問。我想起的是那個3月份的午後，加州老房子的走廊。從臥房門口看出去，四姑姐在掃地準備吸塵，三姑姐在後面收拾衣櫃。應該沒人能聽到，那微薄的畫外音是我爸從隔壁的廚房喊問兩位妹妹：「今晚煮咩菜食好啊？黃芽白、西芹……」

我猜，同樣是特意從香港飛到加州送別自己母親的三叔，當時大概就在屋外的草坪上一個人蹲着慢慢抽煙。也許就是這個畫面，這畫面隱隱為我心底傳來的一絲絲平靜，讓我在眼見親人逝世的一輪驚濤駭浪之中，霎時穩定了心神，暫得了平安。

所以我後來在回覆另一位觀眾時，如此寫道：「那一個鏡頭，有着一種非常難得，也非常日常的平靜。我需要這種平靜。那是我第一次那麼接近死亡，那麼接近一位親人的死亡，當我的內心翻江倒海，無法言喻之際，我需要這種平靜，讓自己鎮定下來。因此，我希望把這種平靜，同樣地傳給觀眾……」

In 2016, my grandmother passed away. In 2019, Family Family Day was completed. Looking back today in 2026, I revisit a short comment written by Douban user RYZ in 2021: “A certain teacher said that the current length is the best version. Yet this so-called concision brings a kind of maturity that does not seem to match the creator’s age. Like a transitional scene of remembrance after death, can it really allow the audience to feel humanistic care?”

Humanistic care… Many years later, having moved from my twenties into my thirties, I still do not know how to respond to RYZ’s question. What comes to mind is the corridor of an old house in California on an afternoon in March. Looking out from the bedroom doorway, my fourth aunt was sweeping the floor and getting ready to vacuum, while my third aunt was tidying the wardrobe behind her. Probably no one could hear that the faint off-screen voice was my father calling from the kitchen next door, asking his two younger sisters: “What should we cook tonight? Napa cabbage, celery…”

I imagine that my third uncle, who had also flown specially from Hong Kong to California to say goodbye to his mother, was probably outside on the lawn at that moment, crouching alone and slowly smoking a cigarette. Perhaps it was this image, and the quietness it faintly brought to my heart, that allowed me, amid the overwhelming waves of witnessing the death of a loved one, to steady myself for a moment and find a brief sense of peace.

Later, when replying to another viewer, I wrote: “That shot contains a very rare, and very ordinary, kind of calm. I needed that calm. It was the first time I had been so close to death, so close to the death of a family member. When my heart was in turmoil and beyond words, I needed that calm to steady myself. And so I hoped to pass that same calm on to the audience…”
