Three Years in Exile: A real-life story with 139 sketches – by Fong So

he author’s exile started in late September 2020, three months after the imposition of the draconian National Security Law in Hong Kong. It was the time of a global pandemic – the outbreak and spreading of the deadly Covid-19. After uprooting himself from Hong Kong, he has experienced hardship and difficulties nearly all the time. While struggling to adapt to a life in a different environment with limited means, he spent his spare time recording what he had encountered in the form of sketches. In the first three years of his exile, he first stayed in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and then relocated to London. Moving repeatedly in London, he came up with the idea of compiling a book, a pictorial album, with his sketches. Explanatory notes were written to accompany the sketches, recalling mainly what he felt while compiling them, and are included in this book. Over the past few years, half a million Hongkongers have left their home city, and more than 200,000 have come to the UK. Many of them might have experienced much more hardship than the author/artist and will easily relate their experience to his story.

流離紀事：三年離散生活實錄139圖 – 圖/文：方蘇

2020年九月底，國安法強加於香港後，作者離港，流徙海外。時兇勢危，加上新冠癘疫禍害全球，流徙實屬行險。離散期間，作者經歷了不少艱困，但仍斷斷續續地繪畫。限於媒材，他只作速寫，題材則來自流離歲月中的生活。離港頭三年，他曾暫住北愛爾蘭的貝爾法斯特，之後移居倫敦。他在倫敦一再遷居，累積的速寫漸增，於是計劃結集出書，加配文字，錄寫其所見所思，題之為《流離紀事》。香港因近年局勢逆變，已有五十萬人外移，其中二十萬移到英國，他們很多人經歷的艱困，相信會比此書作者更多，對此書的内容當有共鳴。
