我最有趣的時候是小時候在農場抓小鳥的蛋
然後呢我就把小鳥的蛋放在褲子裡面
但是小時候在抓田雞的
因為但很大我就放在口袋裡面
回家的時候坐上貨車的時候
腳一抬鳥蛋就破了
右腳破掉之後再抬左腳左腳破了
所以呢
我兩個口袋裡面都裝滿破的鳥蛋
這讓我印象深刻
還有小時候隔壁家
鄰居家中的整山的荔枝
我們都默默的時候就躲在樹上去
大概有一些人都跑不上去。
那個中了50幾年他的奶奶種的
所以我爬到樹上吃完荔枝才下去
所以都很難抓到
這是小時候很有趣的時候
還有小時候稻田售完的時候
我們把稻田的根用力把它拔起來
然後當作土堆丟到對面去
那中間就有個護城河
然後小朋友就用土堆丟來丟去丟來丟去的
這樣子
還有小時候都會玩沖天炮啊
然後水鴛鴦
然後水鴛鴦呢
就是把水鴛鴦點好的就丟過去
他丟過來丟過去
然後呢丟到手裡面忽然動易伸手都被炸到啊
因為小時候那個那個鞭炮他不是很大
他的手痛痛而已
黑黑的還沒有很嚴重
呃還有小時候
騎腳踏車啊去釣魚啊
去河邊釣魚呀
然後游泳的時候還游泳哎
怎麼就可以河裡面游泳哎
怎麼旁邊有一條蛇
嚇死人了
呃小時候還有就是去踩地上的泥巴
然後地上會有很多蛤蜊
所以都用腳夾起來
還有釣魚這樣請腳踏車
到處去玩

爬山哪
在小時候自己常常做的事情
啊這個還有小時候我是在板橋的土城長大的
在那裡我度過我的國小。
國中的時候呢
我就越區就讀到了重慶國中板橋重慶國中讀書
這是我小時候很有趣的事情
那時候沒有什麼升學的壓力
所以小學的下課就寫就是到處出去玩哪
哪就打紙牌啊然後呢打彈珠啊
然後就劃地盤啊
然後就是打棒球啊
對真的是小時候的記憶。

The most fascinating time from my childhood
was catching bird eggs on the farm as a kid
then I put the bird's eggs in my pants
but because I went to catch frogs
and the bird eggs were big,
I stuck them in my pocket.
On the way back home in the truck
the egg broke as soon as I lifted my leg
after I broke the eggs on the right,
I lifted my left leg and the ones on the left broke too.
So both of my pockets were full of broken eggs
This left an impression on me.
Then as a child, there was the house next door,
the whole mountain of lychees at the neighbor's house
We’d all quietly climb up into the trees to hide
and roar from the trees
some people probably couldn’t make it up there.
The one that was more than 50 years old
was planted by his grandmother
so I’d climb up there and get my fill of lychees
before coming down,
it was hard to get caught.
This was an amusing time as a kid.
And during my childhood
when the rice fields were sold out,
we’d pluck roots from the paddies
and throw them at each other
from behind mounds of dirt.
There was a moat in the middle

and the children would throw back and forth
back and forth.
And as a kid, I used to play with skyrockets
As for the Mandarin duck [firecrackers]
we’d just put them in order
and throw them around at each other.
We’d run at each other with them
and then hurry off.
You could get your hands blown up this way
but because at the time firecrackers weren’t very big,
your hands would just be sore and black
but not seriously hurt.
And then there was riding bicycles,
going fishing,
going to the river to fish,
and then swimming, swimming.
And a snake that came up next to me
out of nowhere
scared me to death
When I was a kid
I also used to stomp in the mud
and there were clams all on the ground,
I could pick them up with both feet
So there was the fishing, cycling,
going everywhere to play,
hiking.

Things I used to do as a kid.
And as a kid, I grew up in the Tucheng, Banqiao,
where I spent my elementary school years.
When I was in middle school
I attended Banquiao Chongqing Middle School.
This was a fun time for me.
At that time, there wasn’t academic pressure
so after elementary school class let out
I wrote about going out to play wherever I could,
playing cards,
marbles,
drawing lines in the dirt
to play baseball,
real childhood memories.

ARTIST STATEMENT

這個作品是關於我爸爸小時候在農場還有鄉下的情景。我們現在這個作品裡面看到有人在騎腳踏車有，人在拔稻草，有人在玩丟紙牌。
我想要展現以前人的生活。我希望大家在看我的作品的時候感覺到以前的生活非常的多采多姿。我也希望大家在看我作品的時候要去試著讓你的生活不要那麼急。把步調放鬆然後有時間的時候可以去散步看看大自然讓你的心情放鬆。
還有時間的時候也可以去住在鄉下體驗一下步調慢的生活讓你的壓力不要那麼大。這就是是我想讓我的作品展現出來的西。

This work is about my dad when he was a kid on the farm and in the countryside. We can see people riding bicycles, pulling straw, and playing cards. Their faces look very happy and there is no trouble or suspicion of each other. They also make others feel good when they laugh together. I used to live in the countryside and I was happy every day. So I want to show how people used to live. I want people to see this. When I created these works, I felt that my previous life was very colorful and very fun. I also hope that when you read my works, you should try to make your life less urgent, relax your pace, and then go for a walk when you have the time. Naturally let your mind relax and when you find the time, go live in the country and experience the slow pace of life to make you less stressed. Leave the noisy city to appreciate the beauty of life outside the city. I suggest finding a no-stress, no-work place without a lot of things to worry about. This is what I want my work to convey to the people who see this work.
