Back here to watch one of my fave stories to celebrate 20 years of Wong Fu. This is such a special story, wonderfully written and produced by Wes and team. Thank you for Wong Fu for everything that you do to inspire us.
wow this speaks to me on some unreal level... ive always thought it's sad how easily we let go of memories and ive always wanted to be there to be like a memory catcher ahhhhhh i actually love wong fu... they manage to capture such beautiful emotions and things in general in their films and their audience can often connect so well. this is whats so special about them
Had to re-watch this. Can't believe it's already been more than a year since this was uploaded...Anyway, I know I already commented this before, but this was so beautiful. Definitely one I'll come back to throughout my lifetime.
Each time I watch one of your videos I get amazed how great and different each of videos are. Ya'll should make a movie and it doesn't has to be high budget just a natural fantastic Wong Fu Production film.
I watched this after watching Love Lock. Gotta say, was pleasantly surprise to find out that WF did a short in Cantonese. I love love love the concept of this (amazing job, Wesley!), but I thought the acting was a little awkward? It's still a lovely short though. WongFu, 加油!
If I showed this to my grandma she would probably smile. Reminds me back then when I was still little. I would walk up the stairs with her. It also reminds me of those classic movies and shows that she watches on the television
This is the film I asked one special person to watch. I wasn’t able to ask him if he did check it out before we went on our separate ways. We were a fleeting moment it seemed like this is the only memory I can hold of us. As it may be called coincidence, it even seemed like the message of this film is my parting gift for him- an aspiring filmmaker himself. Thank you, WongFu 🙏, especially Wes for this.
This is strangely calming..from the beautiful Cantonese, the enchanting concept of the story, Wes's brilliant filmography, and the unusually soothing soundtrack/score...WongFu, you've done it again! WF FOR LYFE!
Theres just no words to explain a story that can be felt through music such as this, to be led through a memory with such reminiscent ambiance and the short yet sporadic details that spark thoughts into your mind - let alone this beautifully executed piece that extends the tenderness, and the mystique of it all. Just, amazing. This has to be my favorite piece overall in its entirety.
haha i get ya, the first sentence i was like O///O I felt like they wrote the script in eng first then translated it. And the obviously practiced canto from the guy made it more cheesy because he's trying so hard to say it right haha~
The fact that Hayao Miyazaki is one of your inspirations makes this short 100x better! The fact that you stepped into a new genre and accomplished it incredibly is unspeakable. I'd think Miyazaki would be proud if he saw this short :).
This and "To Those Nights" are easily my 2 least favorite Wong Fu videos. It's like... all puff and no substance. There's no real message-- it's more like a "Here's a Hallmark card, enjoy!"
In To Those Nights, the message cannot be more clear, especially since the narrator said it himself. We will all find happiness at one point, and when it happens, all the troubles we got into to get there will seem worth it. It is a hopeful message!
metb235 Fair-- I think my puff comment was more applicable to this one. While there WAS a clear message in "To Those Nights," I absolutely hated the characters that Wongfu chose to feature. There were so many bad actors and even bad writing in that feature that absolutely ruined it for me.
Every single one of your works is so breath-taking. I can see elements of Studio Ghibli in your work, such as the nature shots and the serene soundtrack. However, your own style really makes the video complete. I hope this is not the end of your directing career and only the beginning! You truly are amazing, Wes :)
That's was amazing. It is also a fine way to tributes those days when you shot One Day HKs I'm so happy you guys agave succeeded and now can work with previous actors on scripts you want. It's utterly amazing. It's not just this film but the progression you have made. After strangers again you all quickly become more and more well recognised. You inspire me.
The story of a guy finding his inspiration is actually finding his inspiration within, because the girl is a fragment of his imagination. Everybody can be inspired and by digging deep through his writer''s block, the protagonist was able to achieve it. The girl was never the inspiration, but the guy's inspiration was inside him all along. Great story Wes, keep it up!
Brilliant concept, timeless cinematography and the background music is hauntingly beautiful, too. One of my favourite short by you guys - thank you for making this (:
Great job as usual guys! I love all your videos, but it is these types of little creative gems you create that truly made me and will always keep me a big fan of yours. As always, I'm looking forward to the next project.
Thank you for expressing this in Cantonese, you had shown diverse range of visual media beyond lauguage and culture. Awesome! Can’t wait to see more. Love, love it.
An incredible meaning What I took from this is that we spend so much time thinking about our destinations to stroll upon the journey. It's imperative that we take the time to think more about our purpose, where we are, and if we are where we want to be Where are we going? What is it that we're going for? These kinds of thoughts are what spur innovation and creativity. Been loving Wongfu a lot more lately. You guys are getting better and better Please never stop.
One of my favorite Wong Fu videos! Amazing concept and script Wes. The actors were believable, Kenson Lee did amazing on the effects, and the message was there. YAY
Dear Kenson I am so grateful to you for the amazing beauty you brought to this project. You took it to a whole new level. i am glad you'r part of this team!
Stuff like this inspires me to be a director myself and project my personal thoughts and ideas to create nice short movies such as this. You guys are the best kind of role models
i knew i've seen this girl.. when she suddenly gives me this inspiration to lose weight, get better marks, and be the best that i could be... at you know, around 2am...
I loved this, big ups to Wesley. But the music by Kenson Lee is very inspiring and it fits perfectly to the atmosphere, reminds me of a soundtrack from an anime.
I feel like this story could be something that studio ghibli produced
Wes is so creative
I like the ones that aren't in english, feels better for some reason.
Doom140921 agreed 👌
Back here to watch one of my fave stories to celebrate 20 years of Wong Fu. This is such a special story, wonderfully written and produced by Wes and team. Thank you for Wong Fu for everything that you do to inspire us.
when i heard them speak canto, i got so excited! i love this story!
Samey
Screw the escalator I'm using the stairs now.
The music sounds like something from a Miyazaki movie!
The soft melody reminded me of Tomb Raider original score
wow this speaks to me on some unreal level... ive always thought it's sad how easily we let go of memories and ive always wanted to be there to be like a memory catcher ahhhhhh i actually love wong fu... they manage to capture such beautiful emotions and things in general in their films and their audience can often connect so well. this is whats so special about them
Almost 5 years and I still love this video as much as when I first saw it, maybe even more.
Saw this video again on a random urge and it’s still evokes the same memories as when I first saw it. Past me has good taste.
Had to re-watch this. Can't believe it's already been more than a year since this was uploaded...Anyway, I know I already commented this before, but this was so beautiful. Definitely one I'll come back to throughout my lifetime.
Definitely, it was an "inspiration" to me :) (puns)
this one really something
somehow its sad... but so sweet at the same time...
and feels so nostalgic
feels like remembering long forgotten things...
This is unique and creative. I love this one the most out of all wong fu movies
I love this. The story is so beautiful.
Each time I watch one of your videos I get amazed how great and different each of videos are. Ya'll should make a movie and it doesn't has to be high budget just a natural fantastic Wong Fu Production film.
This video gave me chills. Whoever scored this did a great job. And Wes, I swear you're a genius.
we all know ted wanted the cat to be in there. xD
I watched this after watching Love Lock. Gotta say, was pleasantly surprise to find out that WF did a short in Cantonese.
I love love love the concept of this (amazing job, Wesley!), but I thought the acting was a little awkward? It's still a lovely short though. WongFu, 加油!
If I showed this to my grandma she would probably smile.
Reminds me back then when I was still little.
I would walk up the stairs with her.
It also reminds me of those classic movies and shows that she watches on the television
love this. surprised it was in canto
ERMIGAWD THE FIRST VID IN A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE I ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND!!! Wong fu thanks for making my Cantonese dreams come true!
I think a short like this is long overdue. Such beautiful writing.
I think Disney watched and got inspired by this video.
Its so much nicer when you understand cantonese. Its so beautifully phrased
You always post the deepest and most dramatic videos on youtube. I learn so much from them and love them all. Thank you for posting them.
that.was. BEAUTIFUL
Better effects then most Kdramas I watch
This is the film I asked one special person to watch. I wasn’t able to ask him if he did check it out before we went on our separate ways. We were a fleeting moment it seemed like this is the only memory I can hold of us. As it may be called coincidence, it even seemed like the message of this film is my parting gift for him- an aspiring filmmaker himself. Thank you, WongFu 🙏, especially Wes for this.
Brilliantly shot.
Just like what this video is about, it's an inspiration. It really inspires me to also start doing short films :)
This is strangely calming..from the beautiful Cantonese, the enchanting concept of the story, Wes's brilliant filmography, and the unusually soothing soundtrack/score...WongFu, you've done it again! WF FOR LYFE!
ohhhh the perks of understanding cantonese.
i love the concept of this
I always find that Wes' works have this beautiful innocence to it. Very creative.
AMAZING!
OMG ROBYNN IS ON THE VOICE OF CHINA!!
i was just like, wait.... HEY, I KNOW THAT GIRL!!
Every one of you guys' videos leaves me smiling. I sincerely thank you for making these! *makes a heart shape over head*
Yes do more in Cantonese!
Weird thing is i understand what they are saying regardless of the subtitles
Theres just no words to explain a story that can be felt through music such as this, to be led through a memory with such reminiscent ambiance and the short yet sporadic details that spark thoughts into your mind - let alone this beautifully executed piece that extends the tenderness, and the mystique of it all. Just, amazing.
This has to be my favorite piece overall in its entirety.
WES IS A FKING GENE AND I STILL DONT GET THIS. This definitely profound on more than just one level
The shot on that cat in the beginning
Gorgeous... Took my breath away you are truly some if the best writers in the modern world
I knew Wesley wrote this since the beginning of the video 😆
I could detect Wes's work from a split second scene! He has such a style
Wow, I really like it. Great work! Also, Kenson Lee makes such beautiful melodies for these shorts, this tune is very calming, it's lovely.
Cantonese, Chinese, I like cheese, look at these
Haha lol
the music sounds like something from a studio ghibli movie ^^
It's pretty awesome that you guys can make an amazing story out of old stairs. You are truly some of the best writers in film today.
This doesn't have the views that deserves
didn't need the english subs woot! canto pride XD
I watch this video every time I seek inspiration. It brings me to a whole other world.
I feel like Inside Out kinda ripped this off XD
fashionfairy123 more like jewels in different paths
It's so cheesy if you can understand cantonese lol
Its mandarin, not cantonese
Han Yao lol what? its canton lol
haha i get ya, the first sentence i was like O///O I felt like they wrote the script in eng first then translated it. And the obviously practiced canto from the guy made it more cheesy because he's trying so hard to say it right haha~
The fact that Hayao Miyazaki is one of your inspirations makes this short 100x better! The fact that you stepped into a new genre and accomplished it incredibly is unspeakable. I'd think Miyazaki would be proud if he saw this short :).
This and "To Those Nights" are easily my 2 least favorite Wong Fu videos. It's like... all puff and no substance. There's no real message-- it's more like a "Here's a Hallmark card, enjoy!"
Why does it have to have a message? It can't just be an idea that turned into a video? Besides, it might have a message but you just can't find it.
It's a creative video that expressed a unique perspective on inspiration. And it's open to interpretation, everyone takes what they want out of it.
In To Those Nights, the message cannot be more clear, especially since the narrator said it himself. We will all find happiness at one point, and when it happens, all the troubles we got into to get there will seem worth it. It is a hopeful message!
metb235 Fair-- I think my puff comment was more applicable to this one. While there WAS a clear message in "To Those Nights," I absolutely hated the characters that Wongfu chose to feature. There were so many bad actors and even bad writing in that feature that absolutely ruined it for me.
This was so amazing. Please never stop making such original and deep videos. I love them
That was so freaking beautiful...i teared up a bit and still dont know why....i loved the music in the background too...
This is one of my favorite videos. Wesley Chan is so talented, keep this up!
This is why I love Wong Fu. Stunning in simplicity. Thank you!
Every single one of your works is so breath-taking. I can see elements of Studio Ghibli in your work, such as the nature shots and the serene soundtrack. However, your own style really makes the video complete. I hope this is not the end of your directing career and only the beginning! You truly are amazing, Wes :)
love, favorite singer at hk & awesome story telling... inspire from experiences and memories... 你好野！！！
Absolutely stunning in every way possible
That's was amazing. It is also a fine way to tributes those days when you shot One Day HKs I'm so happy you guys agave succeeded and now can work with previous actors on scripts you want. It's utterly amazing. It's not just this film but the progression you have made. After strangers again you all quickly become more and more well recognised. You inspire me.

The girl was never the inspiration, but the guy's inspiration was inside him all along. Great story Wes, keep it up!
Beautiful concept, and beautiful angel too. This made me cry.
I knew Wes wrote this from the get go. He has a unique type of deep thought that I hope is never lost in this world. I enjoyed watching this.
oh my gosh i love this. im so glad to see that wongfu is still doing these type of videos instead of just comedy sketches
I agree, I keep discovering more of their excellent videos!
very mature filming angles and cutting. even better than so-called large broadcast TV as TVB.
Good job Wesley
I don't know why this makes me emotional. You guys did a spectacular job.
Brilliant concept, timeless cinematography and the background music is hauntingly beautiful, too. One of my favourite short by you guys - thank you for making this (:
Very beautiful story, amazing storytelling and cinematography. Creativity like this story is like a ripple in water, it sparks other inspirations.
Great job as usual guys! I love all your videos, but it is these types of little creative gems you create that truly made me and will always keep me a big fan of yours. As always, I'm looking forward to the next project.
I love this. It gives you that magical feeling inside.
Thank you for expressing this in Cantonese, you had shown diverse range of visual media beyond lauguage and culture. Awesome! Can’t wait to see more. Love, love it.
Again and again; you never cease to amaze me.
This was such a lovely short film and the music goes so perfectly . Love , love , love
An incredible meaning
What I took from this is that we spend so much time thinking about our destinations to stroll upon the journey.
It's imperative that we take the time to think more about our purpose, where we are, and if we are where we want to be
Where are we going?
What is it that we're going for?
These kinds of thoughts are what spur innovation and creativity.
Been loving Wongfu a lot more lately. You guys are getting better and better
Please never stop.
Finally! A Wong Fu video I can show my grandmother!! ( she barely speaks english) Thanks Wong Fu! #Cantonpride
One of my favorite Wong Fu videos! Amazing concept and script Wes. The actors were believable, Kenson Lee did amazing on the effects, and the message was there. YAY
This is absolutely my fave one... The plot brings some magic feeling. GOOD JOB!
WOW, this is one of the best stories you've ever told. It's freakin beautiful.
Dear Kenson I am so grateful to you for the amazing beauty you brought to this project. You took it to a whole new level. i am glad you'r part of this team!
It makes me think of The Little Prince for some reason, and I love the story of the little prince. Love it a lot
Stuff like this inspires me to be a director myself and project my personal thoughts and ideas to create nice short movies such as this. You guys are the best kind of role models
Wow. Wesley never fails to make these awesome shorts
On the days when I get lost and need help finding some inspiration and motivation, a Wong Fu video never fails me.
you should continue this as a movie
I love the soundtrack for this short film!!!
407,924 views are not enough for this video. It's beautiful & so intimate. It's one of the most amazing videos on the entirety of youtube.
Definitely still one of my favorite videos for its cinematography. Great job Wes!
such a beautiful storyline!
Absolutely beautiful.
i knew i've seen this girl.. when she suddenly gives me this inspiration to lose weight, get better marks, and be the best that i could be... at you know, around 2am...
Fantastic piece of art right here. thank you for creating and sharing this with us
I loved this, big ups to Wesley. But the music by Kenson Lee is very inspiring and it fits perfectly to the atmosphere, reminds me of a soundtrack from an anime.
Excellent work! This is very high art/message/music. Even the acting was solid!
Absolutely beautiful and touching!
Another inspiration for me . Thanks Wong Fu for these wonderful videos. Really love them.
Truly amazing! Keep up the good work! You guys know how to interrupt great thoughts in beautiful short films!
This was so beautiful! Reminds me so much of Hong Kong dramas and the beautiful city
Loved it! Especially with Robynn and Kendy!
