2020年跟家人约定去泰国旅行。无奈因为新冠肺炎疫情,只能取消。后来,我与在网上联系好的泰国旅店老板商量,我继续支付房钱,请他帮我保留这个房间,我会在期限内,每天往我的房间寄一张明信片,请酒店老板收到后,将这些明星片放在我的床上并拍照给我,直到21天后结束。
每张明信片上都有一个字的留言,我不清楚疫情期间这些明信片会不会准时寄到,或者中途会不会有丢失,如果一切顺利,这21天的明信片将会呈现一句话:“每个人一生最好的作品,应该是我们所度过的时光。”
I planned a trip to Thailand with my family in 2020 but had to cancel it due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Later after discussion I made a deal with the hotel owner in Thailand who I was in contact with, that I keep paying for the room so he would reserve it for me. Within the period I would send a postcard every day to that room. The hotel owner is asked to place those postcards on my bed after receiving them, photograph them and continue to send me the pictures for 21days. On each postcard there’s a one-word note. Although I’m not sure if the postcards will be delivered in time or get lost in the mail during the pandemic. If all goes well, the message gathered from the 21 postcards will be “ The best work of everyone’s life should be the time they spent.”
