After I got this book on that day, I found that kinda weird, why he doesn't have any book sharing or signing session while I look through the official website's schedule...so I went over to his Facebook, he posts this announcement on his page! (Luckily I did notice about this like a day ago, if not guess I would definitely miss out this!)
********************************************************************************
那天买了书后,就在想怎么都没有签书会呢! 因为在大众书局的网站都没有写上,所以就好奇上他的面子书,无意间就看到有签书会嘢! 所以星期二就急匆匆,一定要去书展不可!!!(在想一想,假如不是那天晚上好奇一下,我也不会发现到这个!)
Now everything explain why I need to be there at 2pm to look for a good seat!
********************************************************************************
所以当天才会2pm一早就想找个好位子坐下!
After been waiting for so long, he's finally here...found that he speaks quite fast, if wasn't paying any attentions, I might missed out something (but I guessed this's an immediate sharing show, which might explain as well why it wasn't print on the schedule) First he came across about he doesn't want to attend this book sharing session at first as for his personal thought, he's not some kind of superstar or writer, he's just a news presenter...until his friend asked him "then why you write this book for?" he said "Is for charity!" then his friend said "Yah, that's right, it's for charity wat!" So by now that was what had brought him here!
********************************************************************************
终于出来了,一出来的时候,他说话很快,不专心听,还真的会错过什么(不过我在猜想这签书分享会不会是临时举办的,所以才会那么赶啊?) 在台上他有说到他本来不想出席这签书分享会,因为他说他不是什么大明星作家,他只是一位主播! 他朋友就跟他说: “那你出书做什么用的呢?” 然后他说: “就为公益啊!” 他朋友说: “对呀,那就是为了公益啊!” 所以他现在就来了!
As for this book, after deduct the product cost of it, the rest gonna donate to the "hope reading" plans! Wow~~~
********************************************************************************
他这书扣除成本后,盈余将悉数捐助“希望阅读”计划! 哇~~~
Thank god I didn't miss this sharing session, it's definitely worthy spend my time for it...the show began with process of how he works on this book...
********************************************************************************
我真的觉得庆幸我没有错过这场签书会,分享会开始于他写这本书的过程。。。
There're lots of picture in this book, all the pictures were taken while he was traveling oversea with his family! He said before every depart he and his sister will looked for a local photographer in that country so as you can see at the back of the book, it shows pictures provide by different photographer from different countries! (This's picture of he and his brother helping their mom to comb her hair)
********************************************************************************
在书中的每一张照片都是他与他家人到不同地方旅行的时候拍的,他说每当在出发前他就会和他姐姐找个适当的当地摄影师所拍的,所以从书本的后续,可以看到很多来自不同国家的摄影师所提供的照片! (图中是他与他弟弟在帮他妈妈梳头发)
He said he doesn't like to let his family picture being shows up the public a lot, so mostly what have upload in his FB and the book are his photos only!
********************************************************************************
他说他每一趟旅行都是和家人一起去,但由于他不想让家人的照片曝光太多,所以书本和他网上的都只放他自己的照片而已!
He said when the producer was asking him to provide 365 pictures, for him it was too much at first, because every trips he just got the small resolution pictures back from the photographer as memory copy! But due to this book he got to call back to ask the photographer one by one for the high resolution pictures! Then at the end it turns out a lot, so which makes he came on changing the pictures but he glad the producer still well cooperate with him!
********************************************************************************
他说当出版社要他提供365张照片的时候,他还想这也太多了吧! 加上他每次去旅行所得回来的照片都是拿到象数比较小的照片做记念而已! 所以就为了出这书,他不惜打电话给回不同国家的当地摄影师询问还有他照片的档案吗,以得到照片更好的象数版! 结果最后就变到照片过多,导致他一直更换照片,不过他说还好出版社也很合作配合!
Another part was the meaning quote from different writers and celebrities that he has put in the book! He said all these he was copied by hand from books he had read and words he had heard because he said copy by hand would makes him memorize it better, so before it he didn't expect to write a book, so what he have was just the quote but no it's from who! At first he thought he can found it online...but no!!...He found nothing so in the end he spends a week in his store room where are full of books that he had read to find out which and which quotes were written by whom!
********************************************************************************
在来就是在书里面有提到不同作家或名人所出的有意思句子,他说他这些句子其实都是用手抄的,他每当看到哪本书,哪本书或是听到一些有意义的话,他都会用手抄记录下来,因为他说手抄才会印象深刻,才会记得! 但那时他都只抄句子,都没有写下出处,因为他当时只是要给自己做记录也没有想到会出书嘛! 一开始他以为可以上网去找,怎样说现在网上都可以找到很多资料嘛! 结果事实往往就是没有那么的简单,网上找不到,所以就要回归最原始去书堆里面找! 他说他家有个专放他过年来看过的书籍,所以他就利用了一个星期的时间去把每一个句子里面的出处给找出来!
What a cute picture, he said the moment he took this picture, the cow behind was like keep on starring at him, seems like it is afraid he might do something to the calf!
********************************************************************************
这照片蛮可爱的,他说当他在大草地找小牛拍照的时候,在后面的母牛是对他虎视眈眈的!
And since he wants to have a picture with the calf in the prairie, so he had to chasing around of the calf then finally he only managed to get this picture!
********************************************************************************
而且在这么辽阔的大草原上,虽然很多牛,但也不会一直站着不同,他跑得气喘喘的才拍到这张照片!
As this the calf gonna be fenced up was prohibited attack from wolf!
********************************************************************************
而这张在笼子里面的小牛是必须围起来,因为担心被狼来袭击!
Then he said before this the cow was like few miles away from the fence, as it saw someone was inside so it run all the way back here to protect its "child"!
********************************************************************************
而当时看见自己孩子的栏杆里有人在里面的时候,在几英里外的母牛立刻回到这里,仿佛担心孩子受到伤害似的!
The funny thing is he said he always get click quite well with any animals so he wasn't that afraid at all, after taking picture then he returns the calf back to its "mother"!
********************************************************************************
他还搞笑的时候他自己蛮有动物缘,拍完照他就要把小牛归还给牛妈妈了!
Picture from his Facebook, as the side quote of this was "What I need is not what you want." (This was post on May 7th last year, any of you who understand should get what he means..)
********************************************************************************
这在他面子书有,里头的旁语是“问我要什么,倒不如问我不要什么。”(这上传日期是去年5月7日,自己想一想,看你明白吗???)
This picture was posted last year during our sky were covering full of haze, he wrote "Good fences make good neighbors. But if only a fence can do that then how much "mutual respect" really exists?" (Cool, right?)
********************************************************************************
这是在去年我国被烟雾弥漫的时候,他写了“虽不住在同一屋檐下,但拥有同一片天空。邻里本互重;我会保重,但请您先自重!”(真是帅呆了!)
Picture on last year May 3rd, he wrote "Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving." (Understand or not, take it or leave it!)
********************************************************************************
这是在去年5月3日发的照片,写着“真正的旅行,不在于走过多少地方,在于成就多少次全新的自己。带着全新的自己回归,希望有个全新的未来。”(明白的人应该会明白,不明白就无需解释!)
He said he was trying to put the only family picture with a very small size in the book, but producer was kindly put it big back!
********************************************************************************
他说他在书中把这张照片放很小,因为要保护家人也不想让家人曝光太多,但他说出版商也很好的把这张照片放很大!
The moment he started to talk about this picture, he began to cry......
********************************************************************************
但在说这张照片的时候他一时激动感伤的哭了。。。
He said his mom keeps forgetting stuffs...he takes his mom out for breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday, and this book was in his car...every time his mom get into his car, she will open this book and point on this picture said "Is me!"......no matter how many times she sees the picture, she'll repeat the same thing again and again......
Don't know about any other audience felt, but for me it was so touching, I understand the situation...our mom's generation not like ours...nowadays we can print our pictures on a book, paper, postcard anytime we want...but for them, it was so new and excited to them!
Also he said sometimes the organizers asked him to be host on some events, but he rejected as he had promised his mom to take her out for dinner then the organizers replied: "Why you're so not dedicated to your job!"
So I want to ask...is there anything can compete with filial?
********************************************************************************
他说他妈妈经常忘记东西,他每天的早餐,午餐及晚餐都会与妈妈一起吃,而他这本书就放在车上,他妈妈每次一上车就会看这本书,然后就翻到这页说“有我嘢!”。。。无论看到多少次,每次看到她都会很高兴的说“我有嘢!”
真的很感动,我可以想像到那种情景,妈妈那个年代不像我们这个年代,拍张照片做本相本书就把自己的样子印在书上,但妈妈那个年代也没有这样的东西,所以每当看到妈妈那么兴奋的看到自己样子被印在书上,可想像那是多么高兴的一件事!
他也说很多时候举办单位请他去主持,他却推说:“不能,我答应妈妈要去一起吃晚餐!” 这样的举动就会被回说:“你怎么这么不敬业!”
我说孝顺还有其他东西可以相比吗?
Okay!! Okay!! Time for signing session!
********************************************************************************
签名,签名!
They're so many people, so we just can get autograph from him only!
********************************************************************************
人数真的很多,所以也没有安排和读者拍照的时间!
They've different colors bangle everyday, and that day was green!
********************************************************************************
每天都不同颜色的手票根,这天第四天是青色的!
Finally...came to the end...felt so amazing for myself, guess I've write out a very complete book sharing session for this without any notes, any recorders and any reference....
********************************************************************************
有点自恋的想说,我还真佩服我自己,以上种种,我是完全没有做任何记录或笔录,我都可以完完全全的写回出来。。。
