“He xie jia yuan” (Harmonious Homeland) is a new building opposite our hometown village and built a few years ago. The names of the estates are reflecting on our community. Residents can track the name in different locations in our village. Everytime I read the name in silence as if I was hypnotizing myself.

​

In the beginning, we often make fun of it’s name. These honest and ironic four words may be a proposition that everyone is eager to achieve, though it is difficult.

​

「和諧家園」是我們家鄉對面的一個新小區，名稱映照著我們的邨，居民能在不同的位置追蹤和觀看它。每天看見時我也會默念一次，

像是在催眠自己。

​

這個實在而諷刺的四字，

可能是每個人渴望但難以達成的命題。
