往年歲末，我都會為短鋼收藏拍攝大合照，以記錄一年進展。但去年跨年之際身處布拉格，後又因武漢肺炎、學業等因素一再推遲。現在總算有空發佈這張四月時拍攝的相片。
跳入短鋼的深坑至今已逾三年，收藏數字終於突破了100大關，達123枝（指拍攝時，現在又增加了），實是一大里程碑！看著整桌得來不易的短鋼，遙想當年人們能到百貨公司任意選購，實在羨慕。去年沒有遇上願望清單上的短鋼，希望今年運氣好些吧！
另外也感謝大家的支持，使得「短鋼編年史」去年的點閱數達7400，比前年多逾1000。儘管與最初期望的8000有段距離，仍然十分高興。只可惜由於港共政府與香港警察種種非人行徑，加上接二連三地旅行，去年只發佈了極少量新文章，並更新了網站版面，無暇實行許多構想。而前天中共宣佈強行推行國安惡法，徹底打壓香港的人權與自由，若我有一天不再更新，大家應該知道是什麼原因。
願大家安好。

At the end of every year, I always record my pocket pen collection. But 2019 and 2020 are really special years. I went to Poland, Czech and Hungary in my New Year holiday, then, thanks to the CCP virus, the publishing of the photo deferred. And now, finally, I am able to post this photo, which is actually taken in the last month.
It is already 3 years since I was fascinated to pocket pen. The number of my collection finally reached 100 and achieved 123! This is a really big step. Unfortunately, I met none of my dream pocket pen last year. I really envy people in the past that they could went to the department store or stationary shop to buy every pocket pen they like. Wish that I will get a better luck in the remaining days of 2020.
I also want to give a massive thank you to all of you for making the view of my website “Pocket Pen Chronicle” hit an all-time high of 7400! Sadly, other than a few numbers of articles and updating the layout of the website, I had no time to implement my ideas due to the inhuman and terrorist activities of the Hong Kong government and police. And just a few days ago, CCP designed to unmask itself and deprive the remaining freedom and right of Hong Kong by passing the so called “National Security Legislation”. If one day I disappeared, you know what happened.
Wish you all would be good.
