At 11, I met my mother for the first time; then she<br />
vanished again. Later, I recognized her in a magazine<br />
article. I wasn’t sure if she was really my mother, so<br />
I looked up her birth certificate to compare my mother’s<br />
name with the person’s in the magazine. Only then I<br />
learned that my mother was Yeh Su Nee, one of the most<br />
popular Hong Kong writers whose novels fill entire<br />
shelves in any bookstore. So far, I have successfully re-<br />
pressed my mother from my life: wouldn’t it be better to<br />
continue like that ? Is it not too late for a 44-year-old<br />
who has a child of his own to search for his 65-year-old<br />
mother whom he doesn’t even know and flood her<br />
with questions ? I am sure to find her and try to imagine<br />
her voice. How nervous will I be calling her ? I’ll<br />
probably say something like, ‘Hello, it’s me, Bin Chuen<br />
Choi, your son. Long time no see. Shall we meet ?’<br />
But how will she react ? Perhaps she’ll refuse to see me<br />
or say, ‘It did take you very long to call. Let’s go eat<br />
Dim Sum. I know a good spot downtown.’<br />

Dok Market<br />
A TV launch of the extraordinary romance where Polish<br />
alpinists Eliza Kubarska and David Kaszlikowski<br />
take a journey inside the fjords of southern Greenland to<br />
reach the world’s highest sea cliff. The huge granite<br />
wall is reachable only by Kayak across an eerie, stormridden<br />
and freezing sea. Capsizing in this area<br />
means hypothermia and death within minutes. Several<br />
days of risky cliff climbing follow – all for a kiss at<br />
1500 metres. An extraordinary romance in one of the<br />
most beautiful landscapes you have ever seen. TV release<br />
of the 63’ festival version called What Happened on<br />
Pam Island ?, which has been shown and awarded at a<br />
large number of festivals around the world.<br />
