校歌、校名，是学校生活的集体记忆中最具象征意义的元素。学校聚集了来自四个不同乡村的村民和渔民，与之类似，声音与建筑也具有将不同背景和出身的人团结在一起的能力。

Anthem and name are the most symbolic elements of a collective memory of school life. Similar to how the school becomes a place of convergence for the different groups of people in the four different villages and fishermen, sound and architecture bear the same ability to unite people of different backgrounds and origins.

在粮船湾公立学校，这里没有校歌，却有出海捕鱼的信号声，也有聚集人群的校铃声。当我们拜访校友时，每个人都记得学校铃声是通过有节奏地击打金属箱发出，这是一种声音的集体记忆。这让他们回忆起学校生活和课间休息时的快乐，那时大家聚集在一起玩耍，是没有隔阂的亲密团体。

In Leung Shuen Bay Public School, there is no school song yet there is sound to signal the departure for fishing but also sound of school bell to signal the gathering of people. As we engage with the alumni, everyone remembers the school bell’s rhythm hit manually on a metal tank as a collective memory of sound. It reminds them the joy of school life and recess when everyone gathered and played as a community with no boundaries.

该艺术装置与一直致力于研究香港乡村学校的Fragrant Village合作，这些乡村学校包含了无数人的成长记忆，同时也反映了香港城市发展的背景，这个装置则通过音乐和建筑将人们连接在一起。它是一条蜿蜒在篮球场上的长凳，也是一个可以发出学校铃声节奏的木琴。

In collaboration with Fragrant Village who has been studying Hong Kong village schools containing countless memories of growing up and reflecting the context of Hong Kong’s urban development, the art installation becomes one that unites people through music and architecture. It is a bench that meanders alone the basketball court lines but also a xylophone that creates sound based on the rhythm of the school bell.

当人们从两端走近作品时，可以携带不同材质的球体，让其沿着装置滚落。参观者不仅能听到学校铃声的节奏，还能在一侧读到歌词，这些歌词通过多次社区参与的工作坊由村民共同创作。在另一侧，则是校友的口述历史，以校友们编辑的语录的形式分享他们对母校的回忆或感受。

As one approach the piece from either ends, you can put on spheres of different materials and roll it down the piece. Visitors would hear the rhythm of the school bell but also could read the lyrics co-created with villages through many community engagement workshops along one side of the piece. On the other side, there are also oral history in the form of edited quotes from alumni sharing their memories or feelings towards their alma mater.

在作品的中间，也就是球体最终停下来的水平部分，它还充当了一个长凳，供访客在徒步至此的过程中稍作停顿，并在这一刻集中感官、体验学校的环境。

In the middle, as the spheres finally landed on the flat portion of the piece, it also serves as a bench at seating height for visitors to take a pause from their hike to the site to finally focus on their senses and experience the school environment at that very moment.
