哈囉

Synopsis
They met at a highway rest stop where people only stayed briefly. They called him "Hello" because he was just a stranger. He responded with a string of nonsensical self-introductions, knowing they might never see each other again after tonight. Until a cool breeze swept past the palm trees in front of them, and together they dreamed of a vacation in Hawaii.
他們在人們只會短暫逗留的高速公路休息站相遇，她們叫他“哈囉”，因為他只是個陌生人。他則給她們講了一串胡說八道的自我介紹，因為今晚過後他們也不一定會再相見。直到一陣涼爽的微風掠過他們眼前的一片棕梠樹，他們一起做了一個去夏威夷渡假的夢。
Director Statement
I hate saying goodbye.
Every time I bid farewell to a lover, friend, or family member, I wonder if this goodbye is a see-you-later or a farewell forever. Often, after taking the first group photo with friends, we face separation. In the late-night struggles of scriptwriting, receiving a call informing me that I'd never taste my grandmother's breakfast again. Or experiencing a three-person relationship that succumbs to the harsh reality. Many unavoidable farewells fill up my life, and each time, I tell myself it's a necessary lesson in growth. Yet, I never get used to it, nor do I want to.
我討厭說再見。
每當與情人或朋友或家人道別時，我總會想，對彼此說的這個再見，是會見？還是再也不見呢？經常與朋友有了第一張合照後，就要面臨離別。在劇本創作陷入泥淖的深夜裡，接到電話並被告知再也吃不到外婆做的早餐。又或者是經歷了一段，被現實打敗而結束的三人關係。許多迫於無奈的離別充斥在生命中，一次又一次，我總是告訴自己這是成長過程中的必經學習，但我卻始終沒能習慣，也不想學會。
