鬱頭鵝渡橋

曾經发生派性鬥爭的“郁頭鵝渡橋”，現在渡橋下的共青河正在修築河堤。在親歷者的口述中，當時的戰鬥路上慘死的屍體無數，司派將抓捕的核派人員在渡橋進行集體殺戮，在官方的記載中“核派僅是死亡三十人”。楊理死於這個渡橋，屍體並未尋回。

The “Yutou’e Crossing Bridge” where the Violent Struggles took place, now the Gongqing River under the bridge is building its embankment. In the oral accounts of witnesses, countless corpses died on the road at the time.The Si Pai massacred the captured members of the He Pai at the bridge, Aad according to official records “the He Pai was killed only 30 people”.Yang Li died on this bridge, but his body was not recovered.

鹽場的某個院落，在毛時代曾用來招待越南人達到粵西學習和考察製鹽。住在院落的居民說，當時為了照顧這些越南高官子弟，請了縣內最好的廚師給他們做飯。One of the courtyards at the Saltern was once used to entertain Vietnamese who came to western Guangdong to learn and investigate salt production during the Mao era. Residents of the compound said that the best cooks in the county were hired to cook for the children of these high-ranking Vietnamese officials.

關於“無名者的家庭史”項目，我並非要寫一部“家庭歷史”，而是著力追尋大歷史的敘述之下，造成空白、遺失和錯漏的記憶，以及造成這些記憶背後的權力留下了什麽痕跡，能與現下歷史的空洞，進行結構性的分析和呈現。

Regarding the “Family History of the Unknown” project, I am not writing a “family history”, rather, it focuses on the narrative of the great history, which leads to the blank, loss and error memories, and what traces of the power behind these memories leave behind, which can be analyzed and presented structurally with the void of the current history.

在父母雙方家庭中都有親人死於60年代那場運動，如今家庭成員對他們的描述已經變得模糊，有很多可以追踪的線索，到了我這一代已然在被遮蔽的困境中。

In parents’ families, there are relatives who died in the 1960s movement, whose descriptions by family members have now become blurred, and there are many clues that can be traced, which by my generation were already in the throes of being obscured.

當我發問要面對什麼樣的歷史才是屬於這個家庭，然而空白、錯漏、遺失完全佔據其中，家庭記憶在大歷史的書寫下也極易流失。當歷史準確地填补“一個足够好的故事”，那麼普通家庭、普通生命在流動中消失了什麼，造成我們現下的不願透露真相的檔案，這也是“無名者的家庭史”面向的問题。

When I ask what kind of history I have to face to belong to this family, the conflicts, blanks, and errors completely dominate it, and family memories are so easily lost in the writings of the Big History. When history fills in “a good enough story” accurately, then what is lost in the flow of ordinary families, ordinary lives, creates the archive of our present reluctance to reveal the truth, and this is the question to which “Family History of the Unknown” is oriented.

在項目行動中借助回憶梳理歷史，同時也是反思“遺忘”的工作——“我”在哪里？為了那些隐蔽在背後的傷痛和失語，人以及人，我們需要奪回應得的、本能的理解和無畏。

To sort out history with the help of memories in project actions, but also a reflection on “forgetting” – where is “I”? I am not here to record them, but I am in the same stream of time as they are.For the sake of the hidden wounds and lost words, people and people, we need to respond the instinctive understanding and fearlessness.
