剧情简介/Synopsis
这是一部 从小孩子的眼睛出发 ,探究他们在成年人世界中如何成长的纪录片。
畲伟豪和黄俊修是一对好朋友,自一年级相识开始,他们几乎形影不离。香港出生的畲伟豪来自单亲家庭,母亲是内地人,同住不足一百尺的「劏房」;因为「续证」关系,母亲经常要返回内地,为避免儿子在香港无人照顾,畲伟豪都会交托给同学的家庭照顾。而他的同学黄俊修,虽然来自越南家庭,但因畲伟豪经常被托管到他的家,结果让两人成为了好朋友。
每天清晨,畲伟豪和黄俊修都会走到大角咀的鲜鱼行学校上课,两人的基层家庭生活写照,以及这种「互相照顾」的经历,在这里比比皆是。内地出生的董汝峰、谭志泽、甚至班上最受男生欢迎的黄嘉琪,同样为着前途着想,家人毅然来到香港,屈膝于狭窄的房间里生活;对他们而言,一下子面对成长环境的改变,重新追溯另一个地方的认同和价值,这种「投资」是否值得?
然而,畲伟豪一次上电视的经历,却改变了他的故事。 到底「家庭」对这群小孩子来说,是甚么一回事?他们每天不断接受社会的「教育」,是否他们所感所思?究竟社会的「成就」指标,与家长望子成龙的渴望,在他们而言,又是甚么一回事?假如让孩子倒转身份,探听他们对家长、对成年人、甚至对社会存有甚么「期望」,答案在成年人眼中会否不值一提? 本片希望透过畲伟豪和黄俊修等孩子的故事,试图找出问题的答案;通过探问,发掘这群被遗忘的生命中,显现出来的本性和本质,从而探究现今的教育,对下一代的实质意义。
家庭和教育,在孩子的成长岁月中「互相辉映」。在成长岁月中,遇上怎样的人,就会学习成为怎样的人,然后孕育出怎样的社会,这是一个生生不息的循环。然而,即使生活在不安定的环境中,孩子依然会努力尝试展现其生命力,这是成年人平常不欲或无暇去理解的,亦正正是「 子非鱼,焉之鱼之乐 」的本义。
Synopsis
This documentary explores what it is like growing up in an adult world through children’s eyes.
J SHEN and Jacky WONG are good friends, inseparable since they have first met in first grade. J was born to a single-parent family in Hong Kong, raised up by his Mainland-born mother in a small subdivided unit. In order to avoid leaving J home alone, his mother sends him to homes of his classmates in times of her leave to Mainland for visa-renewing. Despite of the fact that Jacky comes from a Vietnamese family, J is often placed under his family’s care; the two turn out to become close friends.
Every morning, J and Jacky walk together to Fresh Fish Traders’ School in Tai Kok Tsui, where they attend classes. Similar images of one taking care of another are not rare to find in the exclusive community of the grassroots. In the meantime, other classmates of them share the same life, including the Mainland-born trio of Frankie TUNG, Jimmy TAM, and Kiki WONG, a young girl who enjoys particular popularity in class. Hoping for better futures for their children, parents brought them to Hong Kong where they have no choice but to live in cramped and close quarters. The sudden change of environment forces children to re-identify themselves in face of the new culture and values. Is this an investment that will ultimately prove worthwhile?
What does “family” mean to these children? How do they perceive the hopes and dreams of their parents and the expectations of society to “success”? In return, will children’s expectations to their parents and society be heard and understood by the adults?
Even though life in poor environment and condition seems to have constrained possibilities, these children still aspire to spread their wings and fly up high. The kind of vitality children own is exactly what grown-ups might no longer desire or understand. Just as remarked in an ancient Chinese classic, “How does one understand the joy of fish, if one is not a fish?” Such is the tale woven through the running time of Fish Story.

導演的话/From the Director
《子非鱼》对我来说,它是一部近乎实验性的创作。一个人,每天背着沉重的拍摄装备,右手拿着脚架,左手拿着水樽,就这样去到学校,跟同学一起上课和生活。久而久之,家长和老师都在谈论这个「哥哥」经常出现的原因。坦白说,拍摄过程中实在有太多的疑问,连自己也未能逐一解答。哥哥,你在拍纪录片吗?对;但你要拍甚么?不一定,想要观察一下;你要观察多久?不知道;你是电视台的人吗?不是;这是你的工作吗?说不上是工作;纪录片会在哪里播?我不肯定;那你拍来干甚么?
故事的开始,其实是三年前因工作的关系,深切体会到现今香港年轻的一辈,饱受家庭、社会和教育制度的折磨。在他们成长最关键的时刻,却未能得到一个健全的环境中学习,结果,其价值观也随着自身的际遇,以及不断变迁的环境而改变,这是让我感到最悲凉的。于是,「在成长岁月中,遇见怎样的人,就会学习成为怎样的人,然后孕育出怎样的社会」这个概念,就成为了故事的开始。
只抱着这么单纯的思考出发,没有主角,也没有故事基础,结果往后发生的事情,当然绝大部分都会碰到一脸灰。或许在拍摄过程中,实在有太多深刻的事情想要分享,但这里姑且先忍耐一下吧。我想说的是,可能我在纪录片中没有把大家关心的问题,很透彻地呈现出来;而在纪录片里,也不见得我有把这些问题解说出任何答案;因为我觉得小孩子的世界就这样便很好了。如果你看见很多值得深究的社会问题,谢谢你;如果你喜欢看他们哭哭闹闹,谢谢你;如果他们让你想起小时候的玩伴,想起自己哭过笑过说过的话,谢谢你。
子非鱼,焉知鱼之乐,不一定的。
From the Director
To me, Fish Story is kind of an experimental piece. I carried heavy camera gear on my back every day, with tripod in one hand and water bottle in the other, and followed these children to school and through their daily lives. In time, the parents and teachers began asking why this “older man” was showing up everywhere. Over the course of filming, I was faced with question after question, to the point I couldn’t even answer them all. “Sir, are you making a documentary?” “Yes!” “But what are you filming?” “I don’t know yet, I just want to observe for a while.” “For how long?” “I don’t know.” “Are you with a TV station?” “No.” “Is this your job?” “I don’t know that I’d call it a ‘job’.” “Where will the documentary be played?” “I don’t know yet.” “So what are you doing it for?”
The story of Fish Story begins three years ago. Through my work, I had come to realize that there is a generation in Hong Kong today suffering under the pressures of family, society, and the education system. Without a strong, healthy environment to learn in during that crucial period of youth, their values and perspectives are constantly evolving as their circumstances change, and I realized this left me forlorn. That was the beginning of the concept that underpins the whole documentary project: How do the people we encounter growing up change the kind of people we become? And how does that change the kind of society we live in? With these concepts in mind, I started to film the story.
And thus the project began with that simple idea—no protagonist, no narrative foundation, just a matter of seeing what unfolds. Of course, the process of filming was rife with shock for me, and I saw many things that I wanted to share immediately, but had to bide my time and bite my tongue. Ultimately, what I want to say is that while I may not have fully shown the problems people are concerned about, while I may not have offered any answers to the questions posed, I believe that this way, we can make the lives of these children better. If in this documentary you see issues that you want to explore more deeply, then I thank you. If you just like watching them laugh and cry, then I thank you. If the film reminds you of your own childhood playmates and the times you had, both good and bad, then I thank you, too.
Through this film, we may still understand “the joy of fish”.
