累了便躺下，痛了便放聲吸啜泣，快樂時盡情手舞足蹈，難過時包裹著自己，靜靜療傷。尋見著自己的落腳點，為自己的情緒搜索著出口。然而，一個屬於自己的房間，在這個城市裡是顯得多奢侈。

三代人同住一斗室，熱鬧中卻少不免零星的火舌。她喃喃自語，浸泡在她的想像世界中；她播放金曲，驅趕着上班的勞累，而我，只想在靜證中放空。

面對無能為力的狀況，我只好由一個空間躲到另外一個空間裡。

每代人，或者每個人都有其生活的軌跡，難以勉強磨合。

私人空間固然著侈，但所追求的並非僅僅一床一桌，當中盛載著人的精神健康。

In this work, you will see︰bad drawing skills, hideous characters, simple lines, cringy dialogues, and a very boring plot; if you see any flaws, please do not be surprised as this is the first-ever flip-book I have ever made! Let me tell you my story.

This is a story from a boy, a boy who had a dream, a boy who chases for his dream to become a fireman, and this journey is not easy at all; he had to overcome different challenges…

How about you? What’s your dream? Have you ever wanted to give up on it? I have a dream, just like everyone else, I have always wanted to give up too. But are you sure you are going to give up your dream after all this time?

Hey, it’s all right to take a rest. I’m with you now, and now you are with me. Remember, you are not alone in this journey.

“Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.”

Thank you again, for spending your time to appreciate my work.

May your dream come true.

我的世界是黑白色的，沒有戰爭，沒有邪惡﹐是一個充滿夢想的地方，是一個非常好的世界，很希望觀眾能進入我的世界。

Once upon a time, it was the Unhappy Corner of Kammy. Every single night, she spent her time drinking, smoking, and thinking alone at the Corner.

Until one day, it became the Corner of 3 people.
Every night, they shared the beer.
Every night, they shared the moon.
Every night, they shared a lot of things, including those darkest thoughts
that they kept inside.

However, no one can stop time; 2 of them have to go.
“Can you take me too?”
“Everyone leaves, just a matter of when. You will leave as well, my friend.”
“You can keep the memory in your mind.”

After that, Kammy would think of the Unhappy Corner whenever the song is played, even though the Corner no longer exists. Although that should be the most frustrating time, she still feels happy having 2 friends to share.

That was the most unhappy and happiest days in Kammy’s life.

"Cherry Doesn't Know" is Cherry's diary, recording the entire process of Cherry' donating' her eggs in mainland China's black market. Cherry is my fictional character, an 18 years old girl who lives in Mainland China. We are both skint. Cherry chose to risk her life to make a quick buck, but I wouldn't.

Mainland law prohibits compensating women for their eggs. Yet, women can receive the 'compensation' of 'donating' their eggs in the black market. The diary is written in the firstperson narrative, and it is my creation combining some real cases from the news, which means all of it happens in real life. The victims we know from the news encountered the same situation mentioned in this diary.

Egg donation was on my to-do list, but I deleted it. Thanks to the place I live where I can know the risks and side effects of egg-retrieval through the internet. However, many girls weren't privy to this surgery's potential risks because of a lack of knowledge, just like Cherry. They risk their life and retrieve their eggs in mainland China's black market for money or kindness, causing irreparable harm to their bodies.

I did thorough research on it even though I didn't undergo this surgery personally. I truly feel the victims' helplessness, anger, and sorrow. As a woman, I think it is a must to let other women know the condition and dangers of this surgery, especially if egg-retrieval is prohibited in your country.
