In my 28-year-old’s birthday, in a day of birth thinking of death should be simply natural but I suddenly recalled my memory during
childhood that there was echo in the hill at the place of one of my ancestors’
grave. I had never done anything to confirm. Therefore, I determined to go for ancestral veneration
and walked from home to the grave alone. The
entire journey was dramatic, as different rural and urban cityscapes always suddenly bumped into eyesight. Till the arrival, I planned to call out the departed in my life 14 times. If there were echo, 14 times of echo might return and
28 in
total was same as my age.
《那山頭有沒有回音》記錄了鄧氏從家中出發前往山上墓地祭祖。他在二十八歲生辰當天忽爾聯想到死亡，繼而想起孩童時曾在山中一處墓地聽過回音，卻一直沒有實地查證。因此，他騎上單車，一個人從家裡出發祭祖去。他站在山墳處，呼喚十四位生命中認識的逝者名字。若回音猶在，加上此十四次回應則共有二十八，剛好是他當年年歲的整數。
