English Transcript :
Count your steps from Mong Kok and walk towards Prince Edward along Tung Choi Street… Hong Kong’s landmark Goldfish Street is just by your side.
Standing in the middle of the street, parallel tenement buildings with around six stories high are of your eyesight. The district has been escaping from reconstruction, and it has been one of the best old portraits of the city. You will see upper parts of the tenement buildings as homes for families, while numerous vendors gathered big and small aquariums on the street starting from 1970s.
It is not a must to visit a particular store, yet you shall just get yourself ready to wander slowly for the journey. Plastic bags in different sizes are sealed and filled with water, they are hanging on door frames to attract attention, colourful and energetic creatures are found in these mini aquariums. Trucks arrive and stop by, workers drop off goods while vendors peddle their wares… This is how the city shimmers and gets alive.
Recently, a well-groomed man has been visiting the street from time to time. He is always in suit, holding a briefcase on one hand, and carrying a cigarette on the other hand. Whenever he visits, he looks into the water through the glass. He stands and thinks deeply for hours, yet he never takes anything home.
I have been wondering what is in his mind. Is he struggling about raising a goldfish or not? Is he considering which goldfish shall he purchase? When this comes into my mind today, he is right here again in front of the store.
“Sir… If this is your first time to keep a fish, I think this Koi is suitable for you...”
Perhaps my words are out of his expectations, he seems to be a bit surprised for a stranger trying to start a dialogue.
He takes away his cigarette, and breathes deeply along the mist. He says it has been a while to keep a fish again, he wonders whether more troubles will come if owning a goldfish.
“It is easy! Goldfish have a short memory of only three seconds time, no matter good or bad, they would not be able to recall. Perhaps when seeing them freely floating in the water, your worries and troubles will fade along the wave.”
All in a sudden, he is seemingly relieved. He then picked one goldfish among the million. At the end of the day, he left the store with a grin on the face.
