人類認爲可以主宰世界,一個新冠病毒卻把我們擊倒!世界進入了混亂、迷惘及恐慌的狀態。我們失去了正常生活,經濟崩潰,全球秩序失衡,各國互相指責⋯⋯種種行為暴露了⼈類的主觀、⾃私、愚昧與無知⋯⋯這次病毒雖然並未完全擊倒⼈類,還不算是⾮常嚴重,但已把⼈類重重的打了⼀拳。我們爬起來以後,大概對將來的看法已改變了不少。

如果病毒真正的摧毀了⼈類,在未來,我相信能夠留下來的只有⼥⼈。她們的相貌、⾝形、種族及階級完全沒有分別,⼤家也分不清誰是誰,然而她們卻像病毒一樣地不斷自我複製。

⾝處廢墟荒野中,她們能否重新建構⼈類⽂明?或是演變成了另⼀種新的病毒?

Humans believe they can rule the world, but a single coronavirus has beaten us! The world fell into a state of chaos, confusion, and panic. We have lost our normal life, the economy has collapsed, and the global order has lost its balance as countries blame each other…All kinds of behaviours have exposed humanity’s prejudice, selfishness, and ignorance…Although this pandemic has not been apocalyptic nor defeated humanity entirely, it has already been a huge blow. When we get back on our feet, our thoughts about the future are probably much changed.

If the virus truly destroys humanity, I believe only women can remain in the future. They are not differentiated by their appearance, bodies, ethnicities, and class and no one can tell them apart. Yet, they ceaselessly replicate themselves like a virus.

Within wild ruins, can they rebuild human civilization? Or evolve into a new virus?
