Here is the good news: the documentary Dai Pai Dong that I did with a team is selected for International Students’ Film Festival in Mumbai, India.
好消息：我此前和一个团队共同拍摄的纪录片《大排档》被选入即将在印度孟买开幕的国际学生电影节了。
And the bad news: I went to the place where the dai pai dong was located, hoping to celebrate, only to find out that it was gone.
以及坏消息：前几天去了拍摄的盛记大排档曾经所在的位置，希望去庆贺一下，结果发现，它已经消失了。
We recorded history.
我们就这样记录了历史。
Just to put a photo here, a photo of us shooting the boss of the dpd, as a memory.
在此存放一张当时拍摄时的工作照，图中的我们正在访问盛记的老板。
And below is the information about the festival, which I am not going.
