Director’s Statement 導演的話
The idea of creating "Time Still Turns The Pages" was inspired by the issue of students' suicide problem in Hong Kong in recent years. I wanted to analyze the causes of these tragedies and dispel the public's misunderstanding of these children by exploring their journey in the face of pressure from their studies, families and society.
構思《年少日記》是受到近年香港學童輕生的問題啟發,想透過探討學童在面對學業、家庭和社會壓力時的心路歷程,分析悲劇發生的原因,並消除社會大眾對學童的誤解。
