Dogged by The Past
“When I met my 10-year-old self, a creature with my 14-year-old face and a familiar dog body, in the Glasgow flat where I live, we have a conversation about my own life, my parents, and my views on death.”
To present this story in the form of comics, I hope people will be engaged by the comic and try to find joy in life and cherish the people around them. Through my story, I wanna reflect on a common contradiction between millennial teenagers and their parents in Chinese families — Parental discipline is a kind of harm in the eyes of children. I don’t want to discuss the best way to be a parent.
In this volume, as the prelude to the long story, I present a story about my regrets, and I want to emphasise that things that have happened cannot be changed, even if I had the chance to meet my past self.
