Child with Muscle atrophy - Lok Chun-Ting
“Mummy…” His mother hurries to come and fit the tube for him.
“Mummy…” His mother rushes to come and turn him around.
“Mummy…” His mother stretches out a hand to switch the TV channel for him while busily taking care of his younger siblings.
He is 11 years old, with normal intelligence, but an abnormal body.
“Do you know what disease you have?” The naive little boy answered with his slightly weak voice, “ I don’t know.”
All he knows is that he experiences all these - lying on the bed all the time with different tubes connecting him to a ventilator and entering his stomach through a gastrostomy and so on – just to survive.

Mind Trapped in Body - Ka-ki
"Do you want pork chop rice or chicken chop rice? Look this way for pork chop rice," her mother says, shaking her left fist in front of Ka-ki’s eyes. "And look this way for chicken chop rice," she adds, shaking her right fist. Lying on the sofa, unable to speak or control her body, Chen Ka-ki scans her mother’s hands back and forth before finally resting her gaze on the left. With her eyes, she tells her mother her choice.
Whether it is a meal choice or deciding between the wheelchair and the sofa, mother and daughter communicate through a constant series of multiple-choice questions. Yet, from the very moment Ka-ki entered this world, she was confronted with the ultimate choice of life: to live, or to die.
