LAI Wai-leung / 總在你身邊 (九) – 起身喇! Just Around You 9: “Wakey-wakey!”
What was life like for an ordinary kid growing up in crammed flats in public housing? Tough, but ordinary, when the notion of “poverty” was not turned into an ideology that undermines you. 1960s, 1970s. Hong Kong. FP writer Wai-leung Lai recalls… 只有最基本的資源也是日子的一種。活著總有生趣，就看你。那是當「缺乏豪華生活」未被化成統計，未被化作意識形態之前…。普通人的普通故事。
LAI Wai-leung / 不是影評。從光華迸發到日暮星沉，由舊戲「英雄本色」說起 A Better Tomorrow and beyond, not a film review
In an extended roll call of local made movies, FP writer Wai-leung Lai tells an integrated story of his history of local film viewing, an assertion of the right of a serious non-expert viewer’s voice to be heard. After, popular cinema is a specific way to connect with the ordinary people on the level of living. And after all, Readership Theories have covered much ground in film and media studies in the past 30 something years in the academia. 黎偉亮一個人睇戲的故事，追述多年來看港產片的心跡，說明了用心看戲也就是用心活著。一個用心的觀眾絕對有權在「影評」的建制圈外肯定表述的聲音。
Ryan Chung / let the mind speak 5: Loneliness is a Cry for Nothing「思維自說自話」5 : 孤單是無端而吶喊
Finding an ensemble of words to give form, thickness and density to flickering thoughts and fleeting sentiments is Ryan Chung’s persistent experiment in his “let the mind speak” series — speaking for its own sake, this time, “loneliness” must imprint its presence… What is the vocabulary of our own loneliness? 表述是為了堅守表述自由的維度。孤單是怎樣的？孤單的語彙是怎樣的？說了就是。鍾樹仁的思維自說自話。
Ryan Chung / let the mind speak 4: Twenty-two: reflection on experiences, a starting point 「思維自說自話」4 – 反照經驗，就這樣開始可以嗎？
You are twenty-two, or you could be 24, 30 or just 16. Emotions often escape words, but writing the act preserves that moment of struggling to give sentiments an outfit. Keep writing: let realities come through the cracks of grammatical and syntactic fabrics. 確定是22歲，或許24， 30；16歲可以嗎？情緒和感覺往往挑戰文字的限度；裹不住，盛載又不完全。只有「寫」，作為行動，以「演」為述。抓著那個時刻，殘酷的現實或許找到那片刻的機會破裂縫而迅出。

LAI Wai-leung / 總在你身邊（八）: 那年初夏 Just Around You 8: Early Summer That Year
No major personal drama. But the recurring scenario of 30 years of witnessing the changing relation between a country and a city thickens as the annual ceremonial spectacle is about to transfigure… — Episode 8 of FP writer Wai’s “Just around You.” 紀念的景觀儀式或不永恆… 一個成長於香港的女孩，在維園外試圗尋找多年來的恆常足跡 — 那串一年復一年，從無間斷，自己踏出來的足跡。
LAI Wai-leung / 總在你身邊（七）: 蟹緣半生 Just Around you 7: half of a life with crabs
To remember the crab cuisine of our city is also to remember the rise and fall of her glamour. FP writer Wai stock-took a dozen of connoisseur recipes and other popular ways to prepare crabs … 記住吃過甚麼，是記住自己存在過的一種方法。往事煙消雲散，舊物亦難再回味，FP 黎偉亮衹好挖掘記憶留下文字聊以解饞，亦算為本土飲食文化最輝煌時代留下點滴印記。十幾款蟹菜。一些消失了的名店。一些 DIY 的提示。
LAI Wai-leung / 總在你身邊（六）：如果 Just around you 6: if…
In the 6th piece of his “Just Around You” ficto-documentary series, FP writer Wai tells a familiar story often told in Hong Kong movies and TV series except that it is a real one. 黎偉亮在虛擬式記錄系列「總在你身邊」6 說了個耳熟能詳的香港邊緣人的故事，像極了電影電視橋段，只是…。「不是要寫一篇警世的文章，只想訴說人生的無奈，可憐可悲還可恨，祇能由自己決定。」
LAI Wai-leung / 總在你身邊（五）: 黑暗中對峙 絕望仍奮戰 瘟疫蔓延時 惟信念不變
In the 5th piece of his “Just Around You” series, FP writer/manager Wai delivers a self-dialogue through two fictional characters… How to live with hope and what hope is in store?「總在你身邊」要說的是這個地方普通人的故事，其中人物的名字或故事情節容或杜撰，但角色的處境及遭遇皆為我所知所遇所見所聞，志在刻劃現實。系列的第五篇有如一個人的一個「我 」和自己的另一個「我」在聊天，在這個城市最艱辛的一年給自己加把勁。
