During a summer in Malaysia, I joined a picture book workshop in Klang, a city about 30 km from Kuala Lumpur and I was the only foreign student in the class. My classmates welcomed me warmly: they shared local snacks, offered rides, and even hosted me at their homes. Through them, I saw glimpses of everyday Malaysian life that ordinary travel would never show.
This zine The Strange and Familiar Cities: Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur grew from that journey—a way to treasure those moments and reflect on the connections between two cities that feel both familiar and strange to me.
某年夏天，我飛到馬來西亞參加繪本工作坊。課堂地點在離吉隆坡約三十公里外的巴生，而我恰好是班上唯一的外國學生。感謝同學們的熱情招待——有人分享地道小吃、有人順路載我上課、有人邀我借宿——讓我有機會體驗當地真實的日常生活。
這本雙城小誌《熟悉又陌生的城市：香港與吉隆坡》，是我為了保存那些在馬來西亞度過的特別時刻而創作的。它記錄了我在旅途中感受到的熟悉與陌生，也成為我與這座城市之間新的連結。
