吳婆婆

吳婆婆流露着紫色的哀愁，但過往美好的回憶與鄰舍間的幫助，讓這份悲傷瀰散了些許，她告訴我們人總要帶着正面的態度好好生活。

Granny Wu reveals a purple sorrow, but the beautiful memories of the past and the help from her neighbors have somewhat dissipated this sadness. She tells us that one must live life with a positive attitude.

童年的時候都很開心，以前很有人情味。我們不用關門，不用關鐵閘。大家都打開門，只要一家煲糖水，很多家可以吃，哪家煲湯呢? 大家都有得飲，不用擔心回家沒有飯吃，只要有一家人開飯，你便可以有飯吃， 你說是不是很有人情味。

當時想着我不想把不開心傳遞開去，我害怕影響別人，還是不要出去的好。擁有着相同經歷的鄰舍，在搬進來的時候，丈夫去世，導致情緒病，這樣的她卻跟我說：「你千萬不要這樣，你要走出去。」不開心就要找一些讓自己開心的事情，總要自己鼓勵自己，人總容易自己鑽牛角尖，但希望自己能夠走出來。

When we were children, we were very happy. In the past, there was a strong sense of human touch. We didn't need to close the doors or lock the gates. Everyone kept their doors open. If a family has made sweet soup, all the neighbours could enjoy it. When a family has made soup, everyone could have some. You did not need to worry about not having food at home, as long as one family was having a meal, you could join in. Wouldn't you say Choi Hung Estate was a warm and friendly place?

At that time, I didn't want to spread my sadness, fearing it might affect them, so I decided it was better not to go out. However, a neighbor who had a similar experience that her husband passed away when she moved in, leading to emotional issues. She told me, "You mustn't do that. You need to get out." When I'm unhappy, I try to do something that make me happy. I have to encourage myself. It's easy to get stuck in our own thoughts, but I hope I can find a way out.
