每天清晨,佘偉豪和黃俊修都會走到大角咀的鮮魚行學校上課。
兩人的基層家庭生活寫照,以及這種「互相照顧」的經歷,在這裡比比皆是。內地出生的董汝峰、譚志澤,甚至班上最受男生歡迎的黃嘉琪都有著同樣故事:家人為孩子們前途著想,毅然來到香港,屈膝於狹窄的房間裡生活;但對孩子們而言,一下子面對成長環境的改變,重新追溯另一個地方的認同和價值,是一種值得的「投資」嗎?一次上電視的經歷,卻改變了佘偉豪的故事。
到底「家庭」對這群小孩子來說,是怎麼一回事?究竟社會的「成就」指標,與家長望子成龍的渴望,在他們而言,又是什麼?假如探聽孩子們對家長,對成年人,甚至對社會存有什麼「期望」,答案在成年人眼中是否不值一提?
即使生活在不安定的環境中,孩子依然會努力嘗試展現其生命力,這是成年人不欲或無暇去理解的,亦是「子非魚,焉知魚之樂」的本義。

He had no known religion, and absolutely no idea why he felt so deeply compelled to do this torturous walk. But compelled, he was.

In 2013, an Australian man a few months shy of turning 60 decided to walk the Camino de Santiago – an 800km pilgrimage trail across the top of Spain. He had no known religion, and absolutely no idea why he felt so deeply compelled to do this torturous walk.
But compelled, he was.
He completed the walk, battling a “triumvirate of pain” - a knee that he later discovered lacked any meaningful cartilage, a blister the sight of which would make a grown man weep, and shin-soreness that felt like his lower limb had been split with a mountain axe wielded by a demented troll.
Arriving at the end of the Camino, the majestic cathedral in Santiago de Compostela, he expected an epiphany – an answer to the question he’d been asking himself every day: Why am I doing this?
But no answer came.
So when he got home he wrote a book, hoping the answer would reveal itself in his scribblings. The result was The Way, My Way, a humourous and self-deprecating book that many consider the best memoir ever written on walking the Camino.
The book has now been made into a film, and it’s an extraordinary account of a man at a pivotal point in his life, searching for meaning and finding himself undergoing a fundamental transformation so profound that he now divides his life into “Before the Camino” and “After the Camino.”
It’s a story particular to one man, yet of appeal to anyone seeking a greater meaning from life.
