NARRATIVITY: 香 HEUNG
Names are the most powerful words in the world. They are something that every person in modern society is born with. Without names, we would lose the ability to recognize people and things. Our understanding of a name may be limited to a title, but it also represents an emotional connection. Only by knowing a name can we establish a connection with the people and things we are involved with. When we take on a name, we also take on an identity, and we need to understand where that identity comes from.
THE KONGNER embarked on a journey to the remote northeastern corners of Hong Kong to delve into the connection between incense trees, Hong Kong, and its people. We had the privilege of interviewing two indigenous inhabitants, Windy and Billy. They shared their personal experiences, the emotional toll of years of illegal logging of agarwood, and the deep affection they hold for their village.
Furthermore, we had the honor of hosting two professionals who shared their invaluable insights on the conservation of incense trees in Hong Kong and the city’s cultural identity. Their expertise added a layer of depth to our exploration.
This documentary is a journey that will lead you to a deeper understanding and reflection on the roots of our connection with Hong Kong. As we explore the intertwined destinies of Hong Kong, Hongkongers, and the incense trees, all named “incense”（香）, we invite you to ponder on the starting point of our documentary.
名字是世界上最有力量的文字。它是每個人與生俱來的標識，是現代社會中不可或缺的一部分。沒有名字，我們將失去識別人、事、物的能力。名字不僅僅是稱呼，它更代表着深厚的情感連繫。只有在知道名字後，我們才能與之建立真切的連結。當我們肩負起一個名字時，亦在承擔一種身份認同，理解這種認同的由來便顯得尤為重要。
為了探索土沉香、香港與香港人之間的深厚聯繫，THE KONGNER 團隊踏遍山水，深入香港東北的偏遠角落，訪問了該區的原居民眉豆姐和二佬。面對村落附近土沉香多年來的非法砍伐和家鄉環境的破壞，他們分享了自身的真實經歷與感受，並表達了對村莊的深厚情感與連結。此外，紀錄片還邀請了兩位專業人士，分享他們對香港土沉香保育情況及香港文化身份認同的見解與思考。
這部紀錄片將帶領觀眾深入了解並反思香港人與香港之間的聯繫是如何形成的。當香港、香港人與土沉香都背負着「香」之名，三者的命運又是如何交織在一起的？這便是《NARRATIVITY: 香 HEUNG》的起點。

眉豆姐同二佬講嘅野，有幾下都令我內心起波瀾，會令人沈默同時個腦會重播某一段節錄好突然，我諗起我細個，父母曾經將我交畀喺羅湖村屋裡面住嘅嫲嫲，到後來搬出去住，間唔中逢周末就返去羅湖嘅日子。細叔嘅新龍虎門漫畫、門口嗰兩隻無論隔幾耐先返去，都仲會認得我嘅狗仔、十字路口對面個戶人養嘅雞(我成日嚇到啲雞雞飛狗走)、因為踢波食波餅而喊......已經好幾年冇諗返起如果嫲嫲佢哋有教我講客家話、如果爺爺仲在生、如果屋企人冇搬出去住、如果佢哋冇離婚、如果我跟咗啊爸，我嘅人生又會係點呢？呢個地方對我，會唔會有其他嘅意義呢？

意義，從來係自己賦予。
