daily exercise

A collection of novels by Liang Lizi, a finalist for the Taipei Literature Prize annuity and winner of the TSMC Literary Award.

The ten stories in "Daily Movement" depict the collective spiritual heritage of Hong Kong during 2019. Using the time and space as the movement progresses and after setbacks, the hope, disappointment and despair of an entire generation are written.

On the road to pursuing democracy and freedom, investors or bystanders must have suffered harm.

It is not only the traces left by physical confrontation with violence, nor the pain caused by oppression. It is the subtle and ambiguous conflicts and contradictions among fellow travelers, which gradually accumulate into individual anger, disappointment, guilt, and powerlessness, and seep into personal daily life.

Therefore, under the passionate slogans, we still need to ask how individuals with different backgrounds, identities, classes, and genders are erased and sacrificed in the movement.

Silence in the wake of state armed violence and an atmosphere of terror.
It’s Hong Kong and it’s Taiwan.
It's after pain, self-doubt, and despair.
Still looking for the way.
