I may use one of the Cantonese pop songs (張國榮梅艷芳嘅緣份) that we used in this project (in the process of obtaining right to use) to summarize our feelings, as migrants, in this project,

每段美好的片段 腦海一再閃現 是否能證實曾與他有緣 你我相隔多麼遠 那年那天可相見 那處境可會改變

Every cherished moment flickers through my mind; Could it be a sign, a fate with them designed? Vast and wide we’re apart, in years and miles unseen— Shall that day, that place, ever change the way it’s been?

We sincerely thank all the interviewees for co-designing the MR stories with us. Thank you.
