Kai Tak International Airport was considered as the most challenging airport in the world. It retired on July 6, 1998 and became a collective memory in Hong Kong. Especially the residents in Kowloon City, from 6:30 am to midnight, every two minutes would have one plane flying over their sky. People in the surrounding areas had to keep silent for a few seconds when the airplanes flying over, whatever they were talking face-to-face or over the phone. At the same time, the air current produced by the aircraft pulling the curtains and window frames swinging and shaking simultaneously. Kai Tak became part of their life, they talked and silenced at the same time, and woken up all together by the first flight in the morning. Without Kai Tak, they got lost suddenly and found that something is “missing” in their life. They felt unpleasant and anxious to wait for the “noise” and expect the curtains will swing again.
曾被喻為世界上最具挑戰性的啟德國際機場，在1998年7月6日正式宣佈退役。特別是九龍城居民，飛機升降早已變成了他們生活的一部份，大家一同說話和沉默、同一時間在夢中被「驚醒」，沒有了飛機聲，反覺得空虛和失落，透過我的作品，他們可以重拾這失去了的回憶。
