Vanessa Tsai / 也說說寫寫我的少小時候 Loose thoughts on my childhood days, all those years…
一個小時的飛航時間，把香港和台灣分隔成兩個歷史溯源和軌跡有交疊卻體驗不一樣的生活世界。又或者，貌不似而神似？身為小學老師的「據點」海外作者蔡季妙用今天的視野去「重訪」小時候的自己，不期然想起了教科書。Primary school teacher Vanessa Tsai, FP overseas contributor, revisits her young self through the lens of contemporary society: her primary school textbooks and experiences weigh on her massively.

Sam Chan / 從《三毛流浪記》#10 讀到變天的時刻 The denouement of Three Hairs’ Wanderings: anticipating a new habitat
2020年5月，陳顯宗從黎肖嫻手裡拿走了共10冊，於1974-76改編並重發的 1947-49年上海《大公報》連載的《三毛流浪記》的最後一集。時值文革尾聲。為何此時重新整理流浪記？有何逼切性？是「創傷性黑暗時代後價值觀」的重新建立？重新尋找容身之地的時代？ Reading the final of the 10 volumes 1976 adaptation of the wanderings of Three Hairs of 1930s-40s, Sam Chan asks if the denouement of the series is also a form of closure to the Cultural Revolution, in search of the ethos and pathos for China’s own post-trauma reconstruction.
Linda Lai / 我從摩羅上街地攤找到10 冊的《三毛流浪記》連環畫 I picked up The Wanderings of Three Hairs the Waif on Upper Lascar Row
The first of a series of articles on children, comic characters, movies and so on, to explore how the “child” is often the subject and object of interpellation to augment instrumental reasons in population management. Linda Lai started with her research notes on Sanmao (Three Hairs), a kid, a comics character created for adults, who has been “resurrected” constantly since his “birth” in 1930s in Shanghai. 以孩子論說苦難，召喚善心的行動，是人口或國民管理常用的工具理性，也是進步思想的倡議的濃縮再現。其實孩子們都是怎樣長大的？我們都曾是孩子。我們是怎樣活過來的？
