“I’ve always found it strange how people like to put things neatly into boxes or associate with a single label. I think that we can and should explore a multitude of things in life and am writing this article to showcase that being a maker and having a full-time job is not only possible, but also that diversifying your available opportunities can keep you more agile, realistic, and sustainably committed. ”

The startup storyline being told may not be the most optimal. The mental clarity of separating your lifeline from your projects may be the most thoughtful choice.

「與MLA結緣，始於我對他們的「誤認」。對當年身處羅湖橋另一端的我來說，MLA 是一道需要穿過多重透鏡才能看到的風景，而這其中少不了扭曲和誤認。而當我到了橋的 這一頭，暫居在這座城市，我開始與MLA同處一片天空下，我有了更加理解他們的可能 性。但我又會意識到，我只是暫居於此，有一天我會回到另一頭。但當我再回去的時候， 已經看過了這邊的風景，再聽他們的歌，大概又是與之前不同的體驗。這種跨境體驗本身 就是可貴的，它帶給我更豐富的體驗和想像力。」

筆者劉立楠在上文分析了他在香港就學期間的在地文化體驗，以及它如何解構（Deconstruct) 了他過往於了解及認識MLA歌詞時所持有的「他者」(Other) 視覺。以下筆者將會試從批判/文化社會學的角度詮釋上文所藴含的文化政治含義。
「他者」一詞本來自Hegel，但在後殖民主義理論之父Edward Said《東方主義》（Orientalism) 一書中，「他者」的意涵被加上了政治的維度。Said (1978) 把「東方主義」定義為: “a systematic discipline by which European culture was able to manage - and even produce - the Orient politically, sociologically, militarily, ideologically, scientifically, and imaginatively during the post-Enlightenment period” (p. 3). Said 所指的 ”the Orient” 實指西方文化圈的殖民者，透過其權力互動的優勢，植入殖民地各處的一個對於東方文化的定義。透過把自己和「東方」以主觀性的主客關係分隔開來，他們賦予了東方社會一個含有政治意圖的定義，但是這些意圖卻化身成為「客觀」的教科書知識，讓東方殖民地的人民在文化資訊封閉的情況下，在社教化的過程中接受了他們這樣對自己的「他者」定義。
回到作者的文章，我們也能看見「他者」的定義是如何影響着他對於香港，以至對於MLA歌詞的了解。當時身在「羅湖橋的另一端」的他，在從小就被「內地的新聞審查和信息封鎖」環境熏陶的情況下，潛移默化地接受了官方對於「香港」的定義。香港的「意涵」透過「正當」的修改之後，亦難免令他產生對於MLA歌詞的「誤認」。
然而，他穿透邊境來到香港唸書的的一刻，便決定了他一向所持的「他者」定義將會受其文化體驗衝擊而逐漸「解構」，而這也的確是他所經歷的。作者在文章裏清晰地描述了兩地出現的符號矛盾如何讓他重新了解MLA歌詞的意涵，同時亦道出了這一個意識轉變背後所隱藏的文化政治互動過程。
想問亦帶出了一個給香港人的問題：作為被描述的「他者」，香港共同體在世界舞台上所對自身的論述在權力結構不平等的情況下，究竟是否能夠被真確無誤地了解？
