睇翻Video中的自己,腦海立刻展現那痛苦的50公里,真係想起也怕怕😵
「不要在最能刻苦的時候選擇安逸」, 每次想停下來時就跟自己説這句話,不知不覺佢就陪我走過50公里了。感恩自己那勇氣踏上起跑線、那堅持涯到終點線🌄
TNF50 thank you for this memory of life♥️

為什麼要活得如此「瘋狂」?
Why live a life that’s perceived as mad?
在接觸遠足和成為攝影師之前,我曾在一家咖啡店工作了六年。每天我都會遇到許多不同的顧客,聽著屬於他們的人生故事。有時候這些故事會讓我希冀自己的人生該是怎麼樣。在我的內心深處,一直知道有點不對勁 — 離了線。
我第一次遠足是在 2010 年。我隨朋友們於夜裡到大東山遠足,一起等待日出。從那天起,我的內心便泛起了漣漪。此後,我開始到香港不同地方遠足,踏遍所有郊野公園和山脈。自然的綺麗風光和美景令我為之驚嘆,我從沒想過也無法相信這些動人美景竟可在香港這樣的一個城市裡出現。
2012 年,我辭去了工作,並告訴自己,餘生我只會做自己喜愛的事。於是我開始終日流連山上。獨自一個身處大自然之際,我會躺在岩石上,欣賞繁星似錦的天空,思考著我們的生活方式,以及人與自然間之關係。我才意識到從前所一直過著的生活,才叫「瘋狂」,竟與大自然那樣疏離隔絕。
在山上,我看到許多壯麗的景色。我開始用相機拍下跟我的朋友分享。透過相片說出我旅程的故事,是我最喜歡做的事。
要拍到佳作,天氣因素尤其重要。我曾經為拍攝雲海而造訪同一個山頂數十次。雖然大多數都是濃霧為主,但令我再三嘗試的是因為我享受那過程。有時候,我並不會選拍得終極「完美」的那張照片,因為我認為感覺尤勝一切。
我認為人生也該如此,不應以成就去量度。我們都應該去感受過程所帶來的鼓舞,好好享受人生旅程。這算是瘋狂嗎?我不贊同。我相信這才是抓緊真正美麗人生的最佳方法。
Before I started hiking and being a photographer, I worked in a coffee shop for 6 years. Every day I met a lot of customers and I heard all their different life stories. Sometimes their stories made me wonder about what my own life should be like. Deep down I knew there was something not quite right. A disconnect.
I went for my first ever hike in 2010. I joined my friends on the long journey up Sunset Peak at night, and waited for the sunrise. Something in me stirred that day. From then, I went hiking everywhere in Hong Kong, visiting all the country parks and mountains. I was impressed by the beautiful nature and scenery which I never knew existed or believed was possible in a city like Hong Kong.
I quit my job in 2012 and told myself that I would only do what I love for the rest of my life. So I started spending all my time in the mountains. When alone in nature, I would lie down on the rocks and watch the starry sky and think about our way of living and the relationship between human and nature. I realised the way I had previously been living was actually the “mad” kind of living, so out of touch with nature.
During my time in the mountains, I saw so many spectacular sceneries. I started to capture them to share with my friends. It really is my favourite thing to do, to tell others my journey through my photos.
To take the best photos, the weather is the most important concern. I used to go to the same peak dozens of times to shoot the sea of clouds. It was foggy most of the time. But what made me keep trying is that I simply enjoy the process. Sometimes, I don’t take that final “perfect” picture, because I like to feel the moment instead.
And I think that life should be the same. It should not be considered an achievement. I believe we should all be motivated by the process, and enjoy the journey. Is that madness? I don’t think so. I think it’s the best way to capture the true beauty of life.

為什麼要活得如此「瘋狂」?
我喜歡交朋結友,一見社交聚會的機會就會參上一腳。而無可避免地,我總是遇上這樣的問題:「你一定是個專業運動,那你參加過什麼比賽?」我便告訴他們:
「嗯,我是個三項鐵人運動員,我最喜歡鐵人賽和越野跑。」他們驚訝的模樣我亳不驚奇。
一直以來,不少人都曾試圖說服我去找一份「正常」職業。對他們來說(尤其那些抱著中國傳統思想的人們),當一個職業運動員並非一項「正常」工作,更談不上安穩,他們會鼓勵我接受那些「更有社會地位」的工作。 (慶幸的是,父母自我十三歳參加第一場比賽以後,便百分百支持我當運動員這份「怪異又瘋狂」的職業)。
年少時的我對這瘋狂生活的解說是為了追求榮耀。站在頒獎台的最高處是多麼有趣、多麼的令人興奮。擊敗對手更令這樂趣和興奮倍增,莫說再加上那些獎品!
然而當我長大了,我也開始問自己為什麼。 「我之所以選擇每天折磨自己只是為了榮耀嗎?除了物質奬項,還有什麼別的值得我去追求?」我反覆思量細想,又經歷了幾個艱苦比賽,終於找到了真締:榮耀和個人成就都只是錦上添花,真正的幸福感在於改進和超越自己的過程。每當我親歷見証自己打破了個人記錄,或是參加了另一種新賽事,都會令我感到熱血沸騰,無比溫暖和滿足。所有訓練的艱辛和刻苦、忍耐都不算什麼了。
我承認,專業訓練確實極具挑戰,而追求不斷進步這條路可以甚為艱辛。但我深信,這樣的追求是人類最美好的美德。未來的人生路,我將繼續以此求進的心態努力前行。

Why live a life perceived as mad?
I love meeting new people and always jump at the opportunity for new social gatherings. Whenever I do the inevitable line of questioning comes up: “You must be a pro in sports. What kind of races you have tried?” And I will tell them, “Oh, I am a tri-athlete, and I’m especially interested in ironman and ultra-trail-running.” Their surprised look is no surprise to me.
Over the years, many have tried to persuade me to have a “normal” career. For them (especially those with a more traditional Chinese mindset), being a professional athlete is not a “formal” job, let alone a secure one. They encourage me to take on “more respectable” jobs. (Thankfully my parents have fully supported my “weird and mad” career as an athlete since my first race in 13.)
As a younger athlete, my answer to this mad life was the pursuit of glory. Standing on the top of podium was fun and exciting. And beating your competitors doubled the fun and excitement. Not to mention the prizes!
As I got older, I started to question my motivation. “Is glory the only reason that I choose to torture myself every day? Other than material gain, is there something worth being pursued?” After some serious thinking, and a few arduous races, I finally found the place of truth: Glory and personal achievement is just icing on the cake. True happiness lies in the process of progressing and surmounting oneself. Each time I witness myself breaking a personal record, or joining a new type of race, great warmth and satisfaction flows through my veins. All the tedious and painstaking training I have endured pays off.
I admit, professional training is challenging and the road of continual improvement can be tough. But it is this search which, I believe, is the very best virtue of humanity. I will always bring along this progressive mindset with me on my journey through life, ever onward.
